Lauryn Hill - Black Rage lyrics

I simply remember all these kinds of things And then I don’t fear so bad… Black rage is founded who fed us self hatred Lies and abuse while we waited and waited Spiritual treason This grid and it's cages Black rage was founded on these kinds of things Black rage is founded on dreaming and draining Threatening your freedom To stop your complaining Poisoning your water While they say it's raining Then call you mad For complaining, complaining Old time bureaucracy Drugging the youth Black rage is founded on blocking the truth Murder and crime Compromise and distortion Sacrifice, sacrifice Who makes this fortune? Greed, falsely called progress Such human contortion Black rage is founded on these kinds of things So when the dog bites And the ceilings And I’m feeling mad I simply remember all these kinds of things And then I don’t fear so bad Free enterprise Is it myth or illusion Forcing you back into purposed confusion Black human trafficking Or blood transfusion Black rage is founded on these kinds of things Victims of violence Both psyche and body Life out of context IS living ungodly Politics, politics Greed falsely called wealth Black rage is founded on denying of self Black human packages Tied and subsistence Having to justify your very existence Try if you must But you can’t have my soul Black rage is founded on ungodly control So when the dog bites And the beatings And I’m feeling so sad I simply remember all these kinds of things And then I don’t feel so bad
