Erykah Badu Penitentiary Philosophy Lyrics

Penitentiary Philosophy Lyrics

Here's my philosophy

Livin in a penitentiary

Brothers all on the corner

Tryin to make believe

Turn around aint got no pot to pee make me

Mad when I see ya sad

Can't stand to see ya hussle 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

We're bout to kick you off your stool





Evil

Don't you test me

Evil

You won't win





Oh why

Why

Why world

Do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah

Why in the world World

Why world

Do you want me 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





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

World

Why world do you want me to be so mad yeah

So mad yeah
