General Penitentiary - Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie

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
