Erykah Badu - Penitentiary Blues Lyrics
Here's my philosophyLivin' in a penitentiaryBrothers all on the cornerTryin' to make believeTurn around ain't got no pot to peeMake me mad when I see ya sadCan't stand to see ya hustle doin badBut you can't win when your will is weakWhen you're knocked on the groundEvil, don't you test meEvil, you won't winOh why worldWhy worldDo want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahOh why worldWhy worldDo you want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahI'm tellin' you the truthI hope I'm not being too cruelSince you ain't playing by the rulesI'm 'bout to kick you off your stoolEvil, don't you test meEvil, you won't winOh why worldWhy worldDo want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahOh why worldWhy worldDo you want me to be so mad yeahSay whyI am a warrior princessI have come from the other sunGather all of your membersUnite them as oneMove together in harmonyBuild a bridgeNow destroy a bridgeEliminate your weaknessConquer evil, the demonAnd live forever togetherOh why can't we get along andTake all the funky tonesAnd make up a funky songThat be bangin on and onMake me mad when I see ya sadWith the same look ya momma hadBut ya can't win when your will is weakBut ya get out ya seatOh why Why Why worldDo you want me to be so madSo mad yeahWhy in the worldWhy world do you want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahWhy in the worldWhy world do you want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahWhy in the worldWhy world do you want me to be so mad yeahSo mad yeahWhy make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so madWhy yeah, why yeah, why yeahWhy yeah...[ad-libs fade out]
