 Penitentiary Blues lyrics
 Here's my philosophy
 Livin' in a penitentiary
 Brothers all on the corner
 Tryin' to make believe
 Turn around ain't got no pot to pee
 Make me mad when I see ya sad
 Can't stand to see ya hustle doin bad
 But you can't win when your will is weak
 When you're knocked on the ground
 
 Evil, don't you test me
 Evil, you won't win
 
 Oh why world
 Why world
 Do want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 Oh why world
 Why world
 Do you want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 
 I'm tellin' you the truth
 I hope I'm not being too cruel
 Since you ain't playing by the rules
 I'm 'bout to kick you off your stool
 
 Evil, don't you test me
 Evil, you won't win
 
 Oh why world
 Why world
 Do want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 Oh why world
 Why world
 Do you want me to be so mad yeah
 Say why
 
 I am a warrior princess
 I have come from the other sun
 Gather all of your members
 Unite them as one
 Move together in harmony
 Build a bridge
 Now destroy a bridge
 Eliminate your weakness
 Conquer evil, the demon
 And live forever together
 
 Oh why can't we get along and
 Take all the funky tones
 And make up a funky song
 That be bangin on and on
 Make me mad when I see ya sad
 With the same look ya momma had
 But ya can't win when your will is weak
 But ya get out ya seat
 Oh why Why Why world
 Do you want me to be so mad
 So mad yeah
 Why in the world
 Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 Why in the world
 Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 Why in the world
 Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah
 So mad yeah
 Why make me, make me, make me, make me, make me so mad
 Why yeah, why yeah, why yeah
 Why yeah...
