Lauryn Hill - Freedom Time lyrics

<i>[Singing Chorus]</i>

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

<i>[First and only verse]</i>

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

<i>[Singing Chorus]</i>

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
