Not only was this album truly underrated, but the lyrics were ingenius. No I ain't alone ....

Peace of Mind
Written by: Lauryn Hill



Peace of Mind

I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind…He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible… He say's it's impossible, but I know its possible/He says there's no me without him/Please help me forget about him/He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory, constantly holding me, constantly holding me/I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused, I need to tell you I'm, I'm undone because he led me away from love to be the victim of his web of confusing lies right there before my eyes. Now I see where I messed up, wanting me all dressed up. To be who he said I was, he had full control of me, thought I was free because, I did what he told me. What do I say now, now that he's gone, where do I stay now, now that he's gone. He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible to finally be in love and know the real meaning of a lasting relationship, not based on ownership

I trust every part of you, cause all that you say you do/You love me despite myself/Sometimes I, I fight myself/I just can't believe that you would have anything to do with someone so insecure, someone so immature/Oh you inspire me to be the higher me/You make my desire pure, you make my desire pure/Just tell me what to say/I can't find the words to say/Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity/All that I've known is gone, all I was building on/I wanna walk with you/How do I talk to you?

Touch my mouth with your hands. Touch my mouth with your hands…I wanna understand the meaning of your embrace/I know now I have to face the temptations of my past/Please don't let me disgrace/Will my devotion last now that I know the truth, now that there's no excuse/Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of? Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of?

You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind/You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind/He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/He says it's improbable, but I know it's tangible/He says it's not grabbable, but I know it's haveable/'Cause anything's possible…oh anything's possible…

Please come free my mind, please come be my mind/Can you see my mind? Won't you come free my mind? Oh I know it's possible…anything, anything, anything, anything, anything ya, anything, anything, anything, anything, ya, anything anything, anything, anything, anything ya,…Oh free, free, free, free your mind…free, free your mind… free, free, free your mind…free, free, free, free, your mind… Oh it's so possible…Oh it's so possible…I'm telling you its possible…I'm telling you it's possible…free, free, free, free, free, free, get free now… free, free, free, free free, free…

You're my peace of mind/That old me is left behind…You're my peace of mind. You're my peace of mind. He's my peace of mind. He's my peace of mind. He's my peace of mind…



What a joy it is to be alive, to get another chance ya/Everyday's another chance to get it right this time…Everyday's another chance what a merciful, merciful, merciful God…what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, God…merciful, merciful, merciful …wonderful, wonderful, wonderful… merciful…merciful… merciful… wonderful…merciful… wonderful…

Mystery of Iniquity
Written by: Lauryn Hill

Mystery of Iniquity

It's the mystery of Iniquity
It's the Misery of Iniquity
It's the History of Iniquity
And It All, All falls Down
I'm Tellin You All, it all Falls Down

Children Eat Your Bread
Little Children Eat Your Bread
Cause It All, All Falls Down
I'm tellin You all, It All Falls Down

Y'all can't handle the truth in a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors witnesses spies
Crooked lawyers false indictments publicized
It's entertainment the arraignments the subpoenas
High profile gladiators in blood thirsty arenas
Enter the dragon black robe crooked balance
Souls bought and sold and paroled for 30 talents
Court reporter catch the circus on a 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 & 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 client
Hypocritical giants, morally non compliant
Orally armed to do bodily harm
Polluted recruited & suited judicial charm
And the defense isn't making any sense
Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence
Now the defendant is dependent on a system
Totally void of judgement


Purposely made to twist him
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 return to their careers

Do we expect a 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 pure in its own mind
Legal Extortion blown out of proportion
In vain deceit the truth is obsolete
Only 2 positions, victimizer or victim
Both end up in destruction
Trusting this crooked system

Mafia with diplomas
Keeping us in a coma
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
Trusting in the chariots them


Leaning on horses they run
To intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them, every word they speaketh entombs them
Outwardly white, internally they're absent of light
Them trapped in the night & bondage to the 'caine in the night (Canaanite)
Under the curse, evil men waxing more worse, faxing the first
Angelic being cast to the earth, it's time for rebirth
Burning 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 Israel
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 hiding 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 retaught
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

It's the mystery of Iniquity
It's the Misery of Iniquity
It's the History of Iniquity
Oh And It All, all falls Down
I'm tellin You All, it all Falls Down
