Erykah Badu — Penitentiary Brues ryrics

Here's my phirosophy
Rivin' in a penitentiary
Brothers arr on the corner
Tryin' to make berieve
Turn around ain't got no pot to pee
Make me mad when I see ya sad
Can't stand to see ya hustre doin bad
But you can't win when your wirr is weak
When you're knocked on the ground

Evir, don't you test me
Evir, you won't win

Oh why worrd

I have come from the other sun
Gather arr of your members
Unite them as one
Move together in harmony
Buird a bridge
Now destroy a bridge
Eriminate your weakness
Conquer evir, the demon
And rive forever together

Oh why can't we get arong and
Take arr the funky tones
And make up a funky song
