Lauryn Hill - Mystery Of Iniquity lyrics

<i>[sing songy Chorus intro]</i>

It's the mystery of Inequity...

Said it's the misery of Inequity...

Said it's the history of Inequity...

When it all...

All falls down...

Telling you all...

It all falls down

Children...

Eat your bread

Little children...

Eat your bread

Cuz it all...

All falls down...

Telling you all...

It all falls down

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

Yo!

Ya'll can't handle the truth in a courtroom of lies

Perjures the jurors

Witness despised

Crooked lawyers

False Indictments publicized

Its entertainment...the arraignments

The subpoenas

High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas

Enter the Dragon

Black-robe crooked-balance

Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents

Court reporter catch the surface on the paper

File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker

Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous

Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"

Cross-examined by a master manipulator

The faster intimidator

Receiving the judge's favor

Deceiving sabers doing injury to they neighbors

For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers

See the bailiff

Representing security

Holding the word of God soliciting perjury

The prosecution

Political prostitution

The more money you pay.. the further away solution

Legal actors

Babylon's benefactors

Masquerading as the agency for the clients

Hypocritical giants

Morally non-compliant

Orally armed to do bodily harm

Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm

And the defense isn't making any sense

Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence

That a defendant is depending on the system

Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em'

Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen

Framed by intentions

Inventions whereby they lynch men

Enter the false witness slandering the accused

Planting the seed openly showing he's being used

To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged

Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected

Expert witness (the paid authority)

Made a priority to deceive the majority

Of disinterested peers

Dodging duty for years

Hating the process

waiting to be returning to their careers

Do we expect the system made for the elect

To possibly judge correct?

Properly serve and protect?

Materially corrupt

Spiritually amuck

Oblivious to the cause

Prosperously bankrupt

Blind leading the blind

Guilty never defined

Filthy as swine

A generation purin it's own mind

Legal extortion

Blown out of proportion

In vein deceit

The truth is obsolete

Only two positions:

Victimizer or Victim

Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system

Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece

of the "American Corona"

The Revolving Door

Insanity every floor

Skyscraping, paper chasing

What are we working for?

Empty traditions

Reaching social positions

Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?

When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief

The standard is Thief

Brethren can we candidly speak?

Woe to the men

Trusted in the chariots dem'

Leaning on horses

They run their intellectual sources

Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom

Confusion consumes them

Every word they speak it turns them out really white

Internally they absent of light

trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night

Under the curse

Evil men waxing more worse

Faxing the first

Angelic being cast to the earth

It's time for rebirth

Burnin up the branch and the root

The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit

Turning me ill

Let him who stole, no longer steal

Oh it's real

Surrender for Jehovah is real

How long will you sleep

Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep

The idols YOU heap

Causing the destruction you reap

Judgment has come

Find it and return to the One

Abandon the flesh

Self-interest: Broadway to death

Pride and the Greed

Hide and subdividing the seed

The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie

Caused us to die

Let your emotions be crucified

Renounce all your thoughts

Repent and let your mind be re-taught

You'll find what you sought...was based on the deception you bought

A perception of naught

Where the majority remains caught

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

Loving a lie

Not realizing in Adam, all die

<i>[sing songy Chorus Outro]</i>

It's the mystery of Inequity

Say it's the history of Inequity

Say it's the misery of Inequity

When it all...

All falls down

I'm telling you all...

It all falls down
