Deep Space Natives - Born in the Belly of the Beast Lyrics

It is said a righteous man falls seven times but rises eight
Born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking some inner peace
So much trouble
We were born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking that missing piece
Trying to solve the puzzle
When that cold wind blows
Lord knows it'll turn yo head around
There ain't no love to be found
When yo chips are down
Around my way
All day my folks be struggling
The youth remain uncouth
Lacking of fathering and mothering
Not chaos by choice
But design
Got brainwash fools still talking
It's the end times
As we continue to get no breaks
Amongst these united snakes
Never knowing when these police state pigs
Prone to hate
Sweet Mother Goddess
So much pressure on my mind
Too familiar with the dark
To even relate to sunshine
Being victims of our own indecision
Got us trapped in a prison
With no parole
In this effed up world we living
Depressed by the stress
Of knowing we living a lie
Got some of us waiting anticipating
For that moment to die
Ready to leave the battlefield
Drop that sword and shield
To enter the eye of the storm
Where the peace be still
Born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking some inner peace
So much trouble
We were born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking that missing piece
Trying to solve the puzzle
Tumultuous times
Smoke that blunt and drink that drink to unwind
And my mind tells me that I should treat my body mo kind
So I dine on it
Knowledge on my plate and in my cup like wine homey
I see my shine glowing
I don't have to eat the bullshit that they are feeding
Tearing down my people
So I hate on myself
Robotic populations running off illusions of freedom
I'm focused on abundance and the building of wealth
One trillion dollars in the hands of the niggas
Believe everything you hear I figure
Acting like ya sleep
Walkin
More moving ya feet, less talkin
Please
Raise a few degrees
Create what you prefer to see
And get up off yo knees
I look up in the mirror when I'm seeking out the queen
Elegantly stronger now than I have ever been
Born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking some inner peace
So much trouble
We were born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking that missing piece
Trying to solve the puzzle
Lord bless the child who's on his own
Tryna hold his head in a danger zone
Lord bless the child who's all alone
Tryna hold her grace in that danger zone
Please Lord bless the child who's on his own
Tryna hold his head in a danger zone.
Please Lord bless the child who's all alone
Tryna hold her grace in that danger zone
Oh Lord bless the child who's on his own
Tryna hold his head in a danger zone
Oh Lord bless the child who's all alone
Tryna hold her grace in that danger zone
Said Lord bless the child who is on his own
Tryna hold his head in a danger zone.
Said Lord bless the child who's all alone
Tryna hold her grace in that danger zone
Born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking some inner peace
So much trouble
We were born in the belly of the beast
Children of the East seeking that missing piece
Trying to solve the puzzle
