Lauryn Hill Black Rage (sketch) lyrics

BLACK RAGE is founded on two-thirds a person
Rapings and beatings and suffering that worsens
Black human packages tied up in strings
BLACK RAGE can come from all these kinds of things
BLACK RAGE is founded on blatant denial
Squeezed economics, subsistence survival,
Deafening silence and social control
BLACK RAGE is founded on wounds in the soul!

When the dogs bite
When the beatings
When I'm feeling sad,
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 its cages
BLACK RAGE is founded on these kinds of things
BLACK RAGE is founded on draining and draining
Threatening your freedom to stop your complaining
Poisoning your water while they sa 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 dogs bite
And when the ceilings
And when 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 denial of self!
Black human packages tied in subsistence
Having to justify very existence
Try if you must but you can't have my soul
BLACK RAGE is made by unGodly control!

Sow when the dogs bite
When the beatings
And when I'm feeling sad
I simply remember all these kinds of things and then I don't fear so bad!
