Belly of the Beast

Tell you the truth the way I see it Thank God, yeah To tell the truth the way I see it The whole system erratic Global oppression, it got my mental caught in a static From the street to the Middle East, we all feel it the same If you fighting for freedom of speech, the truth is in vain Economic hardships and poverty stricken streets Where the dreams die young and hope pack up and retreat In the struggle, we gon' hustle just to make ends meet Got me aiming for the top, climbing up out the concrete We in the belly of the beast, trying to grow from the pain Break the chains and figure out how to rewrite the game From the bottom to the top, we just changing the plot No longer confined to standards and the hands on the clock We in the belly of the beast, trying to grow from the pain Break the chains and figure out how to rewrite the game From the bottom to the top, we just changing the plot No longer confined to standards and the hands on the clock They say life's a gamble, born into the struggle we is In poverty's grip, we juggle dreams, it all just depends I'm a visionary, painting a new scenery Catching me where the youth all rise up and rewrite they own destiny Its no silence for the oppressed, let our voices be heard Speak truth to power, let the truth be like coffee and stirred In the face of adversity, we just gathering strength A global movement that's apparent and transcendent length Why don't you elevate your mind and break the mental chains In the heart of the struggle where resilience remains It's a marathon, not a sprint and we running this race Watch me rise above negativity, saving the grace Personal growth is deep rooted like the oak to a tree Defying the odds, turning defeat until it fleet Gotta change the narrative and break the stigma around us A revolution of the mind, paint enigmas astounding It's a harmonious struggle, a global connection From oppression to freedom, we forging a single direction In the cypher of life, we all stuck, finding redemption A universal anthem, we hell bent on breaking the tension We in the belly of the beast, trying to grow from the pain Break the chains and figure out how to rewrite the game From the bottom to the top, we just changing the plot No longer confinined to standards and the hands on the clock We in the belly of the beast, trying to grow from the pain Break the chains and figure out how to rewrite the game From the bottom to the top, we just changing the plot No longer confined to standards and the hands on the clock Life's a journey, but we all lost inside the ride In the night, illusions of reality collide If only we could break free from the mental binds Live a life of purpose where the soul must unwind Life's a journey, but we all lost inside the ride In the night, illusions of reality collide If only we could break free from the mental binds Live a life of purpose where the soul must unwind
