Hill, Lauryn - Black Rage Lyrics
Black rage is founded on two-thirds a person
Raping and beatings and suffering that worsens
Black human packages tied up in strings
Black rage can come from all these kinds of things.
sweet economics, subsistent survival,
deafening silence and social control,
black rage is found in all forms in the soul,
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don’t fear so bad
Black rage is founded who fed us self hatred
Lies and abuse while we waited and waited
Spiritual treason
Black rage was founded on these kinds of things
Black rage is founded on dreaming and draining
Threatening your freedom
To stop your complaining
Poisoning your water
While they say it's raining
Then call you mad
For complaining, complaining
Old time bureaucracy
Drugging the youth
Black rage is founded on blocking the truth
Murder and crime
Compromise and distortion
Sacrifice, sacrifice
Who makes this fortune?
Greed, falsely called progress
Such human contortion
Black rage is founded on these kinds of things
So when the dog bites
And the bee stings
And I'm feeling mad
I simply remember all these kinds of things
And then I don't fear so bad
Free enterprise
Is it myth or illusion
Forcing you back into purposed confusion
Black human trafficking
Or blood transfusion
Black rage is founded on these kinds of things
Victims of violence
Both psyche and body
Life out of context IS living ungodly
Politics, politics
Greed falsely called wealth
Black rage is founded on denying of self
Black human packages
Tied and subsistence
Having to justify your very existence
Try if you must
But you can't have my soul
Black rage is founded on ungodly control
So when the dog bites
And the beatings
And I'm feeling so sad
I simply remember all these kinds of things
And then I don't feel so bad

I wondered what happened to this song and it's previous video...
So powerful & true!🍇🍒💜

It’s appalling that a white “rap god” went after this queen

"Black Rage founded on fed up self hatred"
She is Annointed
🙌🙌🙌
The quinessential soul that manifest itself as a blue star, seeking to shine light in the darkness of our musical and astral consciousness. That sadly we who profess to be conscious, seem to be able, to do helplessly nothing, as our babies are dying....Lauryn is loved by the Universe, and hopefully we will embrace this rare "celestial navigators" message, while she is yet still seen, and not burnt out in the galaxy of this dispensation of time....Bro.W5X
Nourish us Queen
POW-ER-FULL🔥 she came like a modern day NeNa Samon
BLACK RAGE is founded on two-thirds a person
Rapings and beatings and suffering that worsens,
Black human packages tied up in strings.
BLACK RAGE can come from all these kinds of things
Black Rage is founded on blatant denial
Squeezing economics, subsistence survival,
Deafening silence and social control.
Black Rage is founded on wounds in the soul!
When the dogs bite
When the beatings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember all these kinds of things
and then I don't fear so bad!
Black rage is founded: who fed us self-hatred
Lies and abuse, while we waited and waited
Spiritual treason, This grid and its cages
Black rage was founded on these kinds of things
Black rage is founded on draining and draining
Threatening your freedom, To stop your complaining
Poisoning your water, While they say it's raining
Then call you mad for complaining, complaining
Old time bureaucracy drugging the youth
Black rage is founded on blocking the truth,
Murder and crime, Compromise and distortion
Sacrifice, sacrifice who makes this fortune?
Greed, falsely called progress
Such human contortion,
Black rage is founded on these kinds of things
Lauryn hill is just everything.
The lyrical content on this track is what sets her apart from this phase artist these day’s in 2019
And out of the darkness...a child was born so that we may all see the light. A black child as bright as day
Living Good indeed... truth indeed.
Lauryn Hill will forever be the best Rapper/Singer.
South Africa is ablaze.
Shout of lauurynnn..aka underrated
Black rage can come from all.. these KINDS OF THINGSSSSZ
This song is WHOOooooo BOOM!
Jealousy& racism is a rancid sickness DIS-EASE white people have that will kill them one day! Yet they want too mate with you too save themselves because they have no melanin, despising it at the same time Boy that sun be getting HOT!.
Genius - best album best poet ever best actress ever she cane from Haiti and put it on the map girl can sing and rap and never had to adapt she needs her own app and always had something positive under her cap
Love me some of you Mrs. Hill....Still listening in 2019
✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
We still suffering --- April 2019
Ariana who?
✊🏾👑💉🤲🏾🤞🏾👿🖕🏿🤝✌️
Is it me or does this sound like Ariana Grande's 7 rings?
lol they both sample the song "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music"
Underrated
What a beautiful, unique, and relevant modern perspective on "My Favorite Things". I love how she changed the key signature to convey a different tone for Black History Month and also how she re-wrote the lyrics so poetically! There is so much passion in this and her voice is outstanding!! Lauryn Hill never ceases to amaze me with her creative talent.
Why can’t I get this song on iTunes
Feminine Essence come on, you know why... don’t you?!?
Powerful message song!
thank you Mya Marij - Lauryn . history will tell
It really sucks theres no tutorials for this song
Were crying..No Justice No Peace... But we are not giving them HELL !!!
This song blows. I love ya LH, but this rhythm is #trash
This beat reminds me of "sound of music" the movie
#beautiful
Love her creation
Yes, this is to the tune of "(These Are A Few Of) My Favorite Things".
Love you lauren.
Preach the word of truth.
Wish we had this pumpin through our hoods & streets to heal the souls of our people.
Thanks for sharing this powerful song..and message.
Yes she is truly spitting facts💖💖💖👑👑👑
Why am I just hearing this song 4 years later.
THEE DOPEST THING IVE HEARD
She sound amazing when she in a studio not live
59 people think Beyonce is deep.
NICKI MINAJ IS NOT THE BEST FEMALE RAPPER/ARTIST
Soul touching!!!!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Her voice is so calming
i just realized this is my favorite things flow slowed down alotttt
the greatest of all times
what album is this on?
She's only released one studio album, in the '90s, and one live album, a dozen years before this song, so I don't think it's on any album.
mya m.,
YOUR GRAPHICS ON THIS VID IS EXPOSING YOUR MIND. YOU WILL NEVER GET AN HEBREW PEOPLE TO FALL FOR IT EITHER... FLASHING THE SIGN BLACK RAGE, GIVE ME A BREAK.. YOU'RE DEALING W/ AN AWAKEN PEOPLE... SELAH
THE GRAPHICS DID NOT RUIN MY SISTER'S MESSAGE THO. HA HA
As usually she teaches us about truth...thamk you so much for you genuine acts of love.
Who's still listening in 2017
S. A 2019 I am here
2019. ——————>. 2020
Everybody's crazy if they truly true to themselves, then there is no normal. Lauryn Hill is the craziest of us all. And i love her for that and her awesome raps and her most beautiful voice and all that she preaches and stands for.
We have committed spiritual treason black people take heed 💯
We have committed spiritual treason black people take heed
Wow we have to get together
The song and the sound are reminiscent of Nina Simone.
Tom Smith very much so... someone else said and I agree that it brings to mind Mississippi Goddamn.
Lauryn has no peers. Her artistry is simply whole nutha level
i love this song
BLACK girls Rock.........!!!!!!!!!!!
love it.......😎😎
it would be so epic for Lauryn n floacist to do a song omg
Black Rage is founded on blatant denial... Wheww.....
Lauryn; the crush of my life
doesnt even KIND OF sound like her
❤️🖤💚 ***fist pumps uncontrollably***
This song is Vibrating my frequency like crazy! i just seen some crazy shit online that absolutely pissed me all the way off!!! but....... Black Rage helped re-tune my frequency. Thank you Lauryn Hill.
Where have I been
THIS SONG SHOULD BE CALLED... HUMAN RAGE
The truth frees ones mind ,and apostle of GOD
black rage is founded on self hatred...
I love this song and this video im watching now ..Say cheese the universe is watching devils HAHA!!!
love love👂💆💪🙏
Speak lady of wisdom....
Love you Lauryn ..I knew you wasn't crazy (people was telling me u went crazy years ago) just going through an awakening
Ideological distillation is cute, but it does not solve the problems of the concrete world.
White people idolize Beyoncé, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
Wake up.
I wish I could talk to hert
Holy City Mitchell me too
ISRAELITES OUR TIME IS ALL MOST UP OVER HERE.
We Got Next!!!
All PRAISE and GREAT GLORY is unto OUR ELOHIM HALLELUYAH!!!!! Can these dry bones live YESSSS WE CAN!! Shalommmmmmm!! To the 12 tribes Worldwide!!
I’m starting to become doubtful and think it’s not going to happen. So much confusion in today’s world. I had to let go of social media, now I’m just here on YouTube
I love her music 😍😍😘
Humanity rage✊
August 24, 2016 - Mr. Ervin Williams :-) :-) :-) :-)
I love how she used this classic song to make this. An "American favorite" to show everything America has created.
True artistry!!!
Beautiful
I wanna bring this back, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill... Beautiful Strong Talented black women! We have to stand together ✊🏾👸🏾
Jasmine Aliyah I don't think you can really put Aaliyah in the same category she may have been beautiful black and talented but she is just not on the same level as lauryn. She lived a completely opposite life.
Aaliyah??... Complete opposite of Ms. Hill. I beg to differ.
Respect still.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN
MY FAVORITE THINGS
OMG, what a song....WOW, makes me wanna cry
I would love a duet of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman
That would be amazing!!
khotso phaswana yes yes yes !!!
I think I would weep(with joy!)
sad I'm just now hearing this song
Three years later and I’m just now hearing it as well... with the utmost gratitude
