Black Uhuru - 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 two thousand years
When the morning comes, I and I would run to get some tea
Here comes the boss with his baton
Sayin' "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 every day
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, ooh oh
General, general, general penitentiary, oh oh
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, mmm yeah!
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
