Motives and Thoughts

Motives and Thoughts by Lauryn Hill

Rotating bodies, confusion of sound.
Negative imagery, holding us down.
Social delusion, clearly constructed.
Human condition, morals corrupted.

Trapped in reaction, lawlessness war.
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core.
Devils technologies strategy for-
Human mythologies, urban folklore.

Sicker psychology, counterfeit cure.
Wicked theology, robbing the poor.
Schemed demonology, mislead the pure.
Stricter strategically, studying war.

Lights shown in darkness, image exposed.
Few can see through the new emperors clothes.
Lustful this hustle turns humans to hoes.
When the blind lead the blind, it’s just more troubles and woes.
But it’s the mind that THEY chose, its designed to stay closed.

Standards of jokers, court gesture logic.
Cyclic and cosmic, from schoolyard to college.
Primitive man and his “civilized” knowledge.
System collapsed and he still wont acknowledge.

God is the savior, studies behavior.
Trying to fix the mixed mind that he gave ya.
Stiff necked scholars on prescription meds,
Wishing their problems were all in their heads.

Moral dilemma, pride at the root.
Misguided from youth, heart divided from truth.
Egyptians and Grecians, spiritually dead.
Imperially led by the gods in their heads.

Motives and thoughts, industrial wealth.
Global economy, in it for self.
Heart full of madness, covered with kind.
Pleasure designed to take over your mind.

Furnished in godliness, painted in good.
This tainted priesthood’s got real saints misunderstood.
While classes and government, set up the veil.
And cultivate minds for more mythical tales.

Typical Hollywood follies good girl,
While vice and corruption take over the world.

Motives and thoughts, check your motives and thoughts…

Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart.
Modern day wickedness is all you’ve been taught.
Lied to your neighbors, so you get ahead.
Modern day trickery is all you’ve been fed.
