Lauryn Hill - Motives And Thoughts Lyrics
Rotating bodies, confusion of soundNegative imagery, holding us downSocial delusion, clearly constructedHuman condition, morals corruptedTrapped in reaction, lawlessness, warDissatisfaction from bowels to coreDevil's technology, strategy forHuman mythologies, urban folkloreSick of psychology, counterfeit cureWicked theology, robbing the poorScheme demonology mislead the pureStrictly strategically studying warLight shown in darkness, image exposedFew can see through the new emperor's clothesLustful this hustle turn humans to hoesWhen the blind lead the blindJust more trouble and woesIt's the mind that they choseIts designed to stay closedStandard of jokers, court just a logicSick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to collegePrimitive man with civilize knowledgeSystem collapse and he still won't acknowledgeGod is the saviour, studies behaviorTrying to fix the mix mind that he gave yaStiff-necked scholars on prescription medsWishing their problems were all in their headsMoral dilemma, pride is the rootMisguided from youth, heart divided from truthEgyptians and Grecians, spiritually deadImperially led, by the gods in their headsMotives and thoughtsIndustrial wealthGlobal economy, in it for selfHeart full of madness, covered with kindPleasure designed to take over your mindFurnished in godliness, painted in goodThis tainted priesthood got real saints misunderstoodWhile classes in government, set up the veilAnd cultivate minds for more mythical talesTypical Hollywood follies good girlWhile vice and corruption take over the worldMotives and thoughtsCheck your motives and thoughtsBlind with the wickedness, deep in your heartModern day wickedness is all you've been taughtLied to your neighbors, so you get aheadModern day trickery is all you've been fedMotives and thoughtsCheck your motives and thoughts
