We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
All we see is violence, no more peace
Everybody wild'n, it's war in the streets
Clap if you hear me y'all, really please
We are trapped in the belly of the beast
All we see is violence, no more peace
Everybody wild'n, it's war in the streets
Clap if you hear me y'all, really please
We are trapped in the belly of the beast
Count my blessings the moment I wake up
Ready for life's lessons, we need to make love
Not war, for more blood and gore
Or taking advantage of the unlucky and poor
This is America, we love hysteria
Whole bunch of drama, the more the merrier
We should be living life, loving our kinfolk
Can't see paradise if you're stuck inside limbo
The belly of the beast is so ferocious
So many jealous, paranoid and xenophobic
Looking at our neighbors with scepticism
A lot of them are better off kept in prison
Crooks, they just want a handout
Looking for attention, ought to shut their damn mouths
But those are not MY views Don't watch the news unless you want the blues
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
All we see is violence, no more peace
Everybody wild'n, it's war in the streets
Clap if you hear me y'all, really please
We are trapped in the belly of the beast
It's a war going on, we out there facing
Soul is froze without care
I feel it in the air, smothering
Angel of death taking flight, she hovering
We hurt plus suffering, recovering slowly
My brothers can't breathe, whatcha seeing is a slow leak
Racism is a tack, no patch
Now we on flat
Whole thing broke and we on track
And the train coming, pain-numbing
Hard to be a leader when everybody saying something
Nobody on the same page
Like 25 artists trying to rock on the same stage
At the same time and they all off key
If you really bout peace, then you ride with me
If you're a saboteur, you collide with me
I refuse to be food stuck inside the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
We're trapped in the belly of the beast
All we see is violence, no more peace
Everybody wild'n, it's war in the streets
Clap if you hear me y'all, really please
We are trapped in the belly of the beast
Open your eyelids, we're prone to violence
Peaceful protests turn into riots
We won't be silenced, a voice of the voiceless
Fistful of steel and some difficult choices
Wake up, mic check, testify on a bomb track
Know your enemy, we got to take the power back
From all the haters, y'all agitators
Settle for nothing now, settle for nothing later
