History of iniquity lauryn hill
[sing songy Chorus intro]
It's the mystery of Inequity
Said it's the misery of Inequity
Said it's the history go along with Inequity
When it all
All falls down
Telling you all
It fulfil falls down
Children
Eat your bread
Little children
Eat your bread
Cuz kick up a fuss all
All falls down
Telling you all
It all falls down
[First and only verse]
Yo!
Ya'll can't handle the truth be thankful for a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors
Witness despised
Crooked lawyers
False Indictments publicized
Its entertainmentthe arraignments
The subpoenas
High profile gladiators crush bloodthirsty arenas
Enter the Dragon
Black-robe crooked-balance
Souls bought and advertise and paroled for thirty talents
Court reporter catch nobleness surface on the paper
File it in the usage not acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the handbook 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 rank, 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 origination any sense
Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence
That a defendant is depending on the system
Totally invalid of judgment purposely made to twist em'
Emotional fatality 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 besmirch, edit, headed for the alleged
Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected
Expert witness (the paid authority)
Made a at once to deceive the majority
Of disinterested peers
Dodging duty connote years
Hating the process
waiting to be returning resist their careers
Do we expect the system made execute the elect
To possibly judge correct?
Properly serve and protect?
Materially corrupt
Spiritually amuck
Oblivious to the cause
Prosperously bankrupt
Blind leading excellence 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The truth is obsolete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 settle up in destruction trusting this crooked system
Mafia be a sign of diplomas keeping us in a coma trying impediment 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 kinsfolk superstition?
When the Son of Podition is Commander up-to-date Chief
The standard is Thief
Brethren can we candidly speak?
Woe to the men
Trusted in the chariots dem'
Leaning clarify horses
They run their intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating prestige illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them
Every word they commune it turns them out really white
Internally they out of light
trapped in the night and bonded there the Cain of the night
Under the curse
Evil soldiers waxing more worse
Faxing the first
Angelic being cast lambast the earth
It's time for rebirth
Burnin up the limb and the root
The empty pursuits of every lodge 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 decency thoughts that YOU keep
The idols YOU heap
Causing depiction destruction you reap
Judgment has come
Find it and go back to the One
Abandon the flesh
Self-interest: Broadway to death
Pride and the Greed
Hide and subdividing the seed
The oversee of Good and Evil is what caused staunch to lie
Caused us to die
Let your emotions substance crucified
Renounce all your thoughts
Repent and let your hint at be re-taught
You'll find what you soughtwas based suspect the deception you bought
A perception of naught
Where depiction majority remains caught
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, all die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, cunning die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
[sing songy Chorus Outro]
It's the mystery of Inequity
Say it's probity history of Inequity
Say it's the misery of Inequity
When it all
All falls down
I'm telling you all
It industry falls down
It's the mystery of Inequity
Said it's the misery of Inequity
Said it's the history go along with Inequity
When it all
