Everybody knows that theyre guilty Everybody knows that theyve lied Everybody knows that theyre guilty Resting on their conscience eating their inside Its freedom, said its freedom time now Its freedom, said its freedom time now Time to get free, oh, give yourselves up now Its freedom, said its freedom time Yo, theres 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 committee election, moral infection Epidemic lies and deception, insurrection of the highest possible order Distortin our tape recorders from here and like under water Beyond the borders fond of sin and disorder Bound by the strategy, its systematic depravity, heavy as gravity Head first in the cavity, without a bottom, a fate worse than Sodom Whats got em drunk of the spirits, truth comes, we cant hear it When youve been, programmed to fear it I had a vision, I was fallin in indecision Apollin, callin religion, some program on television How can dominant wisdom be recognized in the system Of Anti-Christ, the majority rules intelligent fools, PhDs in illusion Masters of mass confusion, Bachelors in past illusion Now who you choosin, the head or the tail, the bloodshed of male Or confidence in the veil, conferences of Yale Discussin doctrines of Baal, causin people to fail Keepin the third in jail, His word has nailed Everything to the tree, severing all of me from all that I used to be Formless and void, totally paranoid, enjoy darkness as the Lord Keepin me from the sword, blocked from mercy, bitter than Ceres 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 Destitute a necessity 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 water can purge the heart, from words, the fiery darts Thrown by the workers of the arts, iniquity, shapen in Theres no escapin when youre 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 mans 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 theres no repentance there can be no remission And that sentence, more serious than Vietnam The atom bomb and Saddam and Minister Farakkhan Whats goin on, whats the priority to you? By what authority do we do the majority hasnt 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 with ears understand Everything else is damned, let them with ears understand Its freedom, said its freedom time now Its freedom, said its freedom time now Its freedom, Ima be who I am Its freedom time, said its freedom time Everybody knows that theyve lied Everybody knows that theyve perpetrated inside Everybody knows that theyre guilty, yes Resting on their conscience eating their insides Get free, be who youre supposed to be Freedom, said its freedom time now Freedom, said its freedom time Freedom, freedom time now Songwriters HILL, LAURYN Read more: Lauryn Hill - Freedom Time Lyrics
