Here's another song by Lauren Hill from here 2002 Unplugged Album. She uses the wrong name, but which one of us hasn't?
This is the song that Kanye West sampled for "All Falls Down". Lauren did not grant him permission to used the song, which is why Kanye used Selena Johnson to resing the chorus. Now we know why he was not allowed to use it.
Lyrics:
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 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 pure in its own mind Legal extortion Blown out of proportion In vain 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 Perdition 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 Turn and be healed Let him who stole, no longer steal Oh IS-RAEL Surrender for Ahayah 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
Said it's the history of Inequity
Said it's the misery of Inequity
When it all All falls down I'm telling you all It all falls down
I love that song and she is speaking the truth in this song unfortunately.
I love her cd. Especially Jerusalem!
