judah mack – belly of the beast lyrics
[intro]
(yah, yah, yah)
[chorus]
in the belly of the beast, i been livin’ with a curse that i can’t shake (can’t shake)
little boys in the street, they be caught up in a net that they can’t break (yah, yah)
from the bottom of the boat, to the back of the bus with a backpack (backpack)
mama gotta’ tell daddy, “put the cotton in the sack ‘fore the whip crack”
[post-chorus]
if a man don’t work, don’t work, then a man don’t eat right
baby boys gettin’ shot up in the streets, teddy bear in the streetlight
babylon got a short time left ‘fore the heat get real high
ain’t no promise on yo’ life, but the word do say that you will die
[verse 1]
jezebel in the street gettin’ loud, and the man ain’t spoke yet
’cause her mama didn’t teach her nothin’, now she out here smellin’ like a croquet
why that brother got a dress on, wavin’ at the brotha’ with the skinny jeans?
babylon got the press, now them brothers gon’ sin by any means
since i gotta’ tell the truth, i’ma call it how i see it, ’cause i see a lot
and she don’t know who her baby daddy is, baby girl pop her p a lot
i done been on the other side of sin, if you know what i mean
take a chance or a dance with the devil, but the gr-ss ain’t green
[chorus]
in the belly of the beast, i been livin’ with a curse that i can’t shake (yah, yah)
little boys in the street, they be caught up in a net that they can’t break (break)
from the bottom of the boat, to the back of the bus with a backpack (backpack)
mama gotta’ tell daddy, “put the cotton in the sack ‘fore the whip crack” (crack)
[post-chorus]
if a man don’t work, don’t work, then a man don’t eat right
baby boys gettin’ shot up in the streets, teddy bear in the streetlight
babylon got a short time left ‘fore the heat get real high
ain’t no promise on yo’ life, but the word do say that you will die
[verse 2]
but your man got a d-mn rolls royce with an eleven on the dash
grandmama at the bus stop broke, ’cause she gave him all the cash
sunday mornin’ at the back of the church, with the little girl twerkin’
baby mama gotta’ get another job, ’cause the daddy ain’t workin’
everybody in the front row wanna’ get a ticket to the big show
but the sin got the headman sick, so the whole body sick though
revelation 22:14, yeah, you never gon’ read that
’cause the man with the blueprint only wanna’ preach about the greenbacks
if a man don’t work, don’t work, then a man don’t eat good
young man got shot up on the block, bullet holes in the fleetwood
black lives don’t matter, ’cause the black man lost in a white lie
keep your hands on the dash, ’cause the cops gon’ burst like a white guy
babylon gotta’ short time left but the fight gettin’ too hot
he’s supposed to be a king, but he wanna’ be a thug like 2pac
black lives don’t matter, ’cause the black man lost in a white lie
got the black man down on his knees, giving praise to the white guy
[chorus]
in the belly of the beast, i been livin’ with a curse that i can’t shake (yah, yah)
little boys in the street, they be caught up in a net that they can’t break
from the bottom of the boat, to the back of the bus with a backpack (pack)
mama gotta’ tell daddy, “put the cotton in the sack ‘fore the whip crack” (crack)
[post-chorus]
if a man don’t work, don’t work, then a man don’t eat right
baby boys gettin’ shot up in the streets, teddy bear in the streetlight
babylon got a short time left ‘fore the heat get real high
ain’t no promise on yo’ life, but the word do say that you will die
