soulrac - belly of the beast lyrics

verse 1 + craig g

verse 2 + vvs verbal
bulldog fully loaded stashed in a shiny case
large bags / gotta eat f+ck all them tiny plates
in the hood / check the tolling pole i’m highly placed
my right hand been locke’s since summer of ninety eight
i’m from the home of the kids clappin & kidnappings
shootouts in broad day at least ten stabbings
rep ya hood most of us come from hard places
get caught up turnt incarcerated scarfaces
a vast population up in them state prisons
you in a fight for ya life now the stakes risen
could count on one hand people that might be with me
peep the prison system growth since 1950
they locking up nine times as many blacks
united states jail population the biggest facts /
trust staying on these streets is an annual challenge
them long term effects we call collateral damage

verse 3 + soulrac
1) welcome to america, the (home of the brave)
where black and brown faces can be (owned like a slave)
(2) we’re (lost in the wilderness) from (false imprisonment)
our youth behind bars and it (cost their innocence)
(3) the 13th (amendment) never (intended)
to give us our freedom, but have slavery (extended)
(4) they make us rot in a cell so the (rich can profit)
but when we talk about it, they try to (switch the topic)
(5) centuries of degradations that we (saw into books) +
couldn’t break us with chain so they’re (calling us crooks) +
6) so a cop can justify when they (spill innocent blood)
for driving while black, or if you (live in the hood)
(7) mass incarceration, class indoctrination
past discrimination, we asked for reparations
8) cuz 2 mil inside…. will they ever be free?
we face the new jim crow or the belly of the beast
