Freedom TimeEverybody knows that they're guiltyEverybody 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 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 opinions Schisms and isms, keepin' us in forms of religion Conformin' our vision To the world church's decision Trapped in a section Submitted to committee election Moral infection Epidemic lies and deception Insurrection Of the highest possible order Distortin' our tape recorders From hearin' like under water Beyond the borders Fond of sin and disorder Bound by the strategy It's systemic depravity Heavy as gravity Head first in the cavity Without a bottom A fate worse than Sodom What's got 'em Drunk off 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 Appallin', callin' religion Some program on television How can dominant wisdom Be recognized in the system Of Anti-Christs and majority rules Intelligent fools PhD's in illusion Masters of mass confusion Bachelors of past illusion Now who you choosin' The head or the tail The bloodshed of the male Or confidence in the veil Conferences at Yale Discussin' doctrines of Baal Causin' people to fail Keepin' the third in jail His word has nailed Everything to the tree Severing all of me From all that I used to be Formless and void Totally paranoid Enjoying darkness as Lord Keepin' me from the sword Block for mercy Bitter than Ceres Hungry and thirsty For good meat we would eat And still dine at the table of deceit How incomplete From confrontation to retreat We belong to true enemy’s defeat Destitute, a necessity Causin' desperation to get the best of me Punishment 'til there was nothing left of me Realizin' the inescapable 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, shaping in There's no escapin' when Your 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, and Saddam and Minister Farakkhan What's goin' on, what's a priority to you By 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 our hands So we can stand In agreement with his command Everything else is damned Let them with ears 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 |
