Erykah Badu - Penitentiary Philosophy

Versuri Erykah Badu - Penitentiary Philosophy

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 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 you 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, 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 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 
 
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 
 
Why in the world 
  (World) 
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 to be so mad? Yeah 
So mad, yeah 
 
Maybe, maybe, maybe 
Maybe, maybe, maybe 
Oh, why, why in the world? Yeah

Bring it all back
