General Penitentiary |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| Down in the dump cell, where I can’t take no smell |
| It’s like a oven baking for 2 thousand years |
| When the morning comes, I & I would run to get some tea |
| Here comes the boss with his baton |
| Say dreadlocks you don’t come here |
| To drink pea soup and fatten ooh oh General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| As time and time go by It’s the set for the same everyday |
| So if you can’t do the time don’t bother with no crime |
| Cause the food that you take to save your life can let you lose it the same |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| It’s a warehouse of human slavery |
| And it doesn’t help for a person who need a weekly salary |
| So if your eyes can’t be fulfilled and satisfied |
| A lot more to come and see those chastised mmmmmm yeah |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
| General, general, general penitentiary, general penitentiary |
