Varnell Hill - In the Belly

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight

We living in the times
When death cometh behind
People that you trust
Be the first to cross the line
Picket fences with bloody trails
Just be the regular
Shoot ya with a gun
Then they shoot ya with a cellular
Tabloids telling the truth now
Tell the news better than the news now
Tell me what to do now
Who to believe
When your down on your knees
The God who enslaved you
Or killed your enemies
Dreams been deferred
Like payments on the third
This is not a faze
That spot is not a blur
That thing that is flying
Is not a bird or a plane
Not a superman or a hero trying to save the day
You're all on ya own
Animal with a conscience
You think you're poor living in the projects
Is nonsense
Bathe in rain water and sea
Then come see me
Pick thru trash dwellings
Some plastic and human feces

Scared for ya life
Is the normal daily routine
Body bag after body bag
Is the scene
Robots killing humans
Homie this is not a dream
Hospitals the new trap house
Making you a fene
Starvation with a full belly
Fake food at the food deli
Selling death
Makes the few wealthy
We floating in the stomach
Of beelzebub
Priests teach peace
Then touch a piece
Of a child's genitalia
Pastors spending tithes
On private jets and gay cover ups
Rabbi's raping kids in vapor rooms beyond hysteria
These are the times that we live in
This only the beginning
Love for mankind has diminished
We are not equal in America
I know that you lying
You cried for a lion
And didn't shed one tear
For a non violent black man dying
Now all I hear is silence

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight

I'm in the Belly of the beast
With the water under me
Hard to stop up in the fast life
I can't see without a flashlight
