Avelino - Penitentiary (Skit) lyrics

[DJ Semtex] There’s a lot of MC’s that put in that work like on the roads and they rap, and they good at rap. But they never seem to be able to put the work down and focus on the rap so because they don’t focus on the rap, they don’t break through. How do you, what does it take to make a conscious decision to put that aside and then go into this? [Avelino] My mates had to go jail and I had to decide I don’t wanna go jail. That’s what it was for me. My mates had to go jail and I had to decide I don’t wanna go there. So, and I’ve got the talent, like it’s funny ’cause even at that age, at the age of like seventeen, eighteen, but I knew what I needed to do or what I wanted to be in life
