Penitentiary Philosophy

Erykah Badu

    Why, why are all these voices in my mind?
    (I have to write a song again)
    (I have to remember to turn on the oven, to warm up the apartment)
    (I hope Sevens okay, I wonder if he took his medicine)
    I have to stop it
    (I need to take my vitamins)
    Why won't they stop?
    Stop it
    Why won't they stop?
    Why is this happening to me?
    Oh, whoa

    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?
    So mad, yeah

    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
