Текст песни Mystery of Iniquity - Live - Lauryn Hill

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
'Cause it all, all falls down
Telling you all, it all falls down

Yo!
Ya'll can′t handle the truth in a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors, witness despised
Crooked lawyers, false Indictments publicized
It′s 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The truth is obsolete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 position
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

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
