Freedom Time - Live

Lyrics

Everybody knows that they're guilty
 Everybody knows that they've lied
 Everybody knows that they're guilty
 Resting on their conscience eating their inside
 It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
 It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
 Time to get free, oh give us yourselves up now
 It's freedom, said it's freedom time
 ♪
 Yo, there's 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
 Destortin' our tape recorders
 From hearin' like under water
 Beyond the borders
 Fond of sin and disorder
 Bound by the strategy
 It's systematic depravity
 Heavy as gravity
 Head first in the cavity
 Without a bottom
 A faith, worse than Saddam
 Once got him
 Drunk of the spirits
 Truth comes, we can't hear it
 When you've 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
 PhD's in illusion
 Masters of mass confusion
 Bacholors in past illusion
 Now who you choosin'
 The head or the tail
 The bloodshed the male
 More confidence in the tale
 Conferences at Yale
 Discussin' doctrines of Baal
 Causin' people to fail
 Keepin' the third in jail
 His word is 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
 Block for mercy
 Bitter than purgatory
 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 enemy's defeat
 Death to the ascendancy
 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 that fiery darts
 Thrown by the workers of the arts
 Iniquity, shapen in
 There're no escapin' when
 You're 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 a man's 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 there's no repentance there can be no remission
 And that sentence, more serious than Vietnam
 The atom bomb is Saddam and Minister Farakkhan
 What's goin' on, what's the priority to you
 What authority do we do
 When the majority hasn't 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 what is understand
 Everything else is damned, let them with ears understand
 
 It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
 
 It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
 It's freedom, I'ma be who I am
 It's freedom time, said it's freedom time
 Everybody knows that they've lied
 Everybody knows that they've perpetrated inside
 Everybody knows that they're guilty, yes
 Resting on their conscience eating their insides
 Get free, be who you're supposed to be
 Freedom, said it's freedom time now
 ♪
 Freedom, said it's freedom time
 Freedom, freedom time now
