Текст песни: Belly of the Beast + перевод

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

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 grass ain’t green

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)

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

But your man got a damn 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

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)

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

(Yah, yah, yah)
