Citizen Cope - Penitentiary Lyrics






Well I'm waiting on the day
When the people walk free to see
When the penitentiary is on fire
When there's no need
To bleed
For your mother or your brother
Or the one that bomes before you whoa
Well I'm waiting on a time when people walk free to see
From the penitentiary in our mind
When there's no need to bleed
For your father
Or your son
Or the one that you've become
When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire

I'm waiting on the day
When the people walk free to see
When the penitentiary is on fire
there's no need
To bleed
For your father or your son
Or the one that you've become and a
I'm waiting on a time when people walk
free to see
when the penitentiary in our mind
there's no need to bleed
For your mother
Or your brother
or the one that come before ya yea

When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire
