1. Motives and Thoughts

    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 
    Devil’s technology, strategy for 
    Human mythologies, urban folklore 
    Sick of psychology, counterfeit cure 
    Wicked theology, robbing the poor 
    Scheme demonology mislead the pure 
    Strictly strategically studying war 
    Light shown in darkness, image exposed 
    Few can see through the new emperor’s clothes 
    Lustful this hustle turn humans to hoes 
    When the blind lead the blind 
    Just more trouble and woes 
    It’s the mind that they chose 
    Its designed to stay closed 
    Standard of jokers, court just a logic 
    Sick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to college 

    Primitive man with civilize knowledge 
    System collapse and he still won’t acknowledge 

    God is the saviour, studies behavior 
    Trying to fix the mix mind that he gave ya 
    Stiff-necked scholars on prescription meds 
    Wishing their problems were all in their heads 
    Morale dilemma, pride is 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 got real saints misunderstood 
    While classes in 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 

    Lauryn Hill
