Mystery Of Iniquity

Lauryn Hill

Transposer:

[Chorus] It’s the mystery of iniquity... 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 [Pre-Verse] Children... Eat your bread Little children...   Eat your bread Cause it all... All falls down... Telling you all... It all falls down [Verse] Yo! Y’all can’t handle the truth in a courtroom of lies Perjures the jurors witness despised Crooked lawyers false indictments publicized It’s 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 Gm (Single strum) Court reporter catch the circus 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 their 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Filthy as swine a generation purin it’s own mind Legal extortion blown out of proportion In vein deceit the truth is obsolete   Only two positions: victimizer or victim Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma                   Am (strum to the beat) 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 outwardly 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 it’s real surrender for Jehovah 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 [Chorus] It’s the mystery of iniquity... 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

Cette chanson explore la souffrance et l’injustice qui émanent de la corruption et du mensonge dans notre société. Elle met en lumière les errements d’un système judiciaire faillible, où les vérités sont souvent étouffées et où ceux qui détiennent le pouvoir manipulent la vérité à leur avantage. À travers des images puissantes, elle évoque la déception ressentie face à ceux en qui nous plaçons notre confiance, tout en appelant à une prise de conscience spirituelle et une quête de rédemption, loin des faux semblants. Le contexte de la chanson reflète une frustration profonde vis-à-vis des inégalités et de l'hypocrisie qui règnent, que ce soit dans les institutions ou au sein de notre propre existence. Elle incite à se détourner des idoles modernes et des illusions de liberté pour retrouver une voie authentique, fondée sur des valeurs spirituelles et morales véritables. La répétition de certains thèmes souligne l'urgence d'une réflexion sur nos choix et nos croyances, tout en évoquant la nécessité de renoncer à nos travers pour un renouveau sincère.
