Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]
[Em]This is a le[Am]tter from the pen,
I got a letter from the pen
This is [Em]a letter from the penitentiary,
and I was told that I should read it to [Am]you
He said the prison breaks will come,
and you soon die
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by [C]the ton
He got the [Em]Johnny Cash gun,
he shot him in the penalty
just to watch him die
And you [Am]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 [C]an d left,
you [Em]could run, you can't hide,
you could pay the wise guys
But even Jesus [Am]Christ got crucified,
why?
Cause everybody got a snitch
and they click Judah
Saw the affidavits with your name on it, [C]traitor
I [Em]should've known that you
was wired up
the way that you was fired up
When we [Am]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 [Em]later found out that it
wasn't your cousin
You [Am]had me on a wiretap
This is a letter from the pen
I got a letter from the pen
This is [Em]a letter from the penitentiary
And I was told I should read it to [Am]you
He said the prison break soon come
And you soon done
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by [C]the ton
He got [Em]the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him at the Reno
just to watch him die
[Am]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 [C]face
He [Em]said he can't believe,
dude, when he went in
He trust you with his wife,
and in [Am]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 [C]mo lester
An[Em]d as I read this letter,
the next thing he said
You a dead man walk amongst [Am]the dead
You dig, you dig
And then the coward replied,
what he said next
He said he wanna see you die,
[Em]he wanna see you fry
He wanna see your body
lying next to [Am]the flies
with your mouth on the wire from the pen,
I got a letter from the pen
This is [Em]a letter from
the penitentiary homie,
and I was told that I should read it to you
[Am]He said the prison breaks will come,
and you're soon done
Money that you want,
you gon' pay him by [C]the ton,
you got [Em]the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him in the rear,
just to watch him die,
[Am]and you the next sinner
Yeah, this one goes out for
them dudes that be creepin'
Sexin' other men's women while
they out [C]workin'
[Em]They wanna claim the fame,
tell the street that they gangstas
when they hit up with [Am]the synthas,
they turn to Cinderella
Yeah, and the letter concludes,
I'm comin' home in 210 211,
Mack 11 for [C]revenge
An[Em]d make sure that you got
a good barber
Cause they do a shitty job
[Am]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 [Em]every time I get on my knees and I pray
All [Am]I think about is sprayin' him with the AK
I a from the
I got a letter from the pen
This is [Em]a letter from the penitentiary homie
And I was told that you need it to [Am]you
He said the prison break soon come,
and you soon die
Money that you owe him,
you gon' pay him by [C]the ton
He got [Em]the Johnny Cash gun,
he shot him at the reload
Just [Am]to watch him die,
and you the next in line
Pen, I got a letter from the pen
This is [Em]a letter from the penitentiary homie
And I was told that you need it to you
[Am]He said the prison break soon come
And you soon done
Money that you owe him,
he won't pay him by [C]the ton
He got [Em]the Johnny Cash gun
He shot him at the Reno
just to [Am]watch him die

[Outro 1]
And you the next in line
