Lauryn Hill - Freedom Time Lyrics
[Singing Chorus] Everybody knows that they've guilty Everybody knows that they've lied Everybody knows that they've guilty Resting on their conscience eating their inside It's freedom, said it's freedom time now It's freedom, said it's freedom time now Time to get free, oh give us (?) It's freedom, said it's freedom time [First and only verse] Yo, there's a war in the mind, over territory For the dominion Who will dominate the opinion Skisms and isms, keepin' us in forms of religion Conformin' our vision To the world churches decision Trapped in a section Submitted to commiting election Moral infection Epedemic lies and deception Insurrection Of the highest possible order Destortin' our tape recorders From here and like under water Beyond the borders Fond of sin and disorder Bound by the strategy It's systematic deprivaty Heavy as gravity Head first in the cavity Without a bottom A faith, worse than Saddam Once got him Drunk of the spirits Truth comes, we can't hear it When you've been, programmed to fear it I had a vision I was fallin' in indescision Apollin', callin' religion Some program on television How can, dime and the wisdom Be recognized in the system Of Anti-Christ, the majority rules Intelligent fools PhD's in illusion Masters of massconfusion Bacholors in past illusion Now who you choosin' The head, the tail The bloodshed of male More confidence in the tale Conference is in Yale Discussin' Docum and Bale Causin' people to fail Keepin' the third in jail His word is nale Everything to the tree Severing all of me from all that I used to be (?) and void Totally paranoid Enjoy darkness as the Lord Keepin' me from the sword Block for mercy Bitter than (?) Hungry and thirsty For good meat we would eat And still, dined at the table of deceit How incomplete From confrontation to retreat We prolong the true enemies defeat Death to the ascendancy Causin' desperation to get the best of me Punishment 'til there was nothing left of me Realizin' the unescapable death of me No options in the valley of decision The only doctrine, supernatural circumcision Inwardly, only war that can purge the heart From words that fire redarts Thrown by the workers of the arts Iniquity, shapen in There'e no escapin' when You're whole philosophy is paper thin In vanity The wide road is insanity Could it be all of humanity Picture that Scripture that The origin of a man's heart is black How can we show up for An invisible war Preoccupied with a shadow, makin' love with a whore Achin' in sores Babylon, the great mystery Mother of human history System of social sorcery Our present condition Needs serious recognition Where there's no repentance there can be no remission And that sentence, more serious than Vietnam The atom bomb is Saddam and Minister Farakkhan What's goin' on, what's the priority to you What authority do we do When the majority hasn't a clue We majored in curses Search the chapters, check the verses Recapture the land Remove the mark from off of our hands So we can stand In agreement with his command Everything else is damned Let them what is understand Everything else is damned, let them what is understand [Singing Chorus] It's freedom, said it's freedom time now It's freedom, said it's freedom time now It's freedom, I'ma be who I am It's freedom time, said it's freedom time Everybody knows that they've lied Everybody knows that they've perpetrated inside Everybody knows that they've guilty, yes Resting on their conscience eating their insides Get free, be who you're suppost to be Freedom, said it's freedom time now Freedom, said it's freedom time Freedom, freedom time now
