This is a letter from the pen,
I got a letter from the pen
This is a letter from the penitentiary,
and I was told that I should read it to you
He said the prison breaks will come,
and you soon die
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by the ton
He got the Johnny Cash gun,
he shot him in the penalty
just to watch him die
And you the next in line
Y 'all so cool, y so crack, y so weak,
y so smack, y so decks, y so mad
Then you took the cash an d left,
you could run, you can't hide,
you could pay the wise guys
But even Jesus Christ got crucified,
why?
Cause everybody got a snitch
and they click Judah
Saw the affidavits with your name on it, traitor
I should've known that you
was wired up
the way that you was fired up
When we count the cash
and bundled it up
Yeah, and when we hit the road
in the U -Haul truck
You told me you was on the phone
with your cousin Chuck
Then later found out that it
wasn't your cousin
You had me on a wiretap
This is a letter from the pen
I got a letter from the pen
This is a letter from the penitentiary
And I was told I should read it to you
He said the prison break soon come
And you soon done
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by the ton
He got the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him at the Reno
just to watch him die
And you the next in line
He said when he come home,
he gon' go green,
allude you to the toxic way
So he gon' shoot you in your face
He said he can't believe,
dude, when he went in
He trust you with his wife,
and in his wife you went in
And you got his son calling you father
At night you creep up in his bed,
you a fucking child mo lester
And as I read this letter,
the next thing he said
You a dead man walk amongst the dead
You dig, you dig
And then the coward replied,
what he said next
He said he wanna see you die,
he wanna see you fry
He wanna see your body
lying next to the flies
with your mouth on the wire from the pen,
I got a letter from the pen
This is a letter from
the penitentiary homie,
and I was told that I should read it to you
He said the prison breaks will come,
and you're soon done
Money that you want,
you gon' pay him by the ton,
you got the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him in the rear,
just to watch him die,
and you the next sinner
Yeah, this one goes out for
them dudes that be creepin'
Sexin' other men's women while
they out workin'
They wanna claim the fame,
tell the street that they gangstas
when they hit up with the synthas,
they turn to Cinderella
Yeah, and the letter concludes,
I'm comin' home in 210 211,
Mack 11 for revenge
And make sure that you got
a good barber
Cause they do a shitty job
cut tin' hair at the funeral parlor
Yeah, and I met some Muslim
brothers in here
They told me seek Allah,
it's gon' be a better year
But every time I get on my knees and I pray
All I think about is sprayin' him with the AK
I a from the
I got a letter from the pen
This is a letter from the penitentiary homie
And I was told that you need it to you
He said the prison break soon come,
and you soon die
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by the ton
He got the Johnny Cash gun,
he shot him at the reload
Just to watch him die,
and you the next in line
Pen, I got a letter from the pen
This is a letter from the penitentiary homie
And I was told that you need it to you
He said the prison break soon come
And you soon done
Money that you owe him,
he won't pay him by the ton
He got the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him at the Reno
just to watch him die
