Oh Jerusalem - Lauryn Hill[00:00:01]

Oh Jerusalem yeah oh Jerusalem oh Jerusalem oh Jerusalem [00:00:11]

Realizing that there's no place else to go[00:00:33]

And there's nobody I know who can help me[00:00:38]

Text book solutions are so improbable[00:00:43]

Cuz everybody else is just as empty[00:00:48]

Naked as the day that I was born I tried to hide[00:00:54]

Behind education and philosophy[00:00:59]

Hopeless explanation to describe a situation[00:01:04]

I can't see because the world's on top of me[00:01:09]

Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me[00:01:15]

From the body of this death[00:01:20]

Freeing me from dust and the superficial trust[00:01:25]

Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath[00:01:30]

Failing to connect cuz I'm morally defect[00:01:36]

By reason of the God inside my head[00:01:41]

Causing me to see only what pertains to me[00:01:46]

Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead[00:01:51]

Limited to earth unable to find out my worth[00:01:57]

Cuz I can't see past my own vanity[00:02:01]

If I'm not included then I just have to remove it[00:02:07]

From my mind because it has to be in sanity[00:02:12]

Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me[00:02:18]

From the body of this death[00:02:23]

Can I even factor that I've only been an actor[00:02:28]

In this staged interpretation of this day[00:02:33]

Focused on the shadow with my back turned to the light[00:02:38]

Too intelligent to see it's me in the way[00:02:43]

What a paradox having God trapped in a box[00:02:49]

All this time professing to be spiritual[00:02:54]

Naturally pretending that I'm actually defending[00:02:59]

God ( ) don't need material[00:03:05]

Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness[00:03:10]

That thou may be saved from thy deception[00:03:15]

How long shall thy face those lies within thee[00:03:20]

Oh Jerusalem keeping thee from perfection[00:03:25]

Submit to truth leave the deception of thy youth[00:03:31]

So we could walk in the council of authority[00:03:35]

Forget the proof our generation so aloof[00:03:41]

Only follow in the steps of the majority[00:03:46]

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart[00:03:51]

And lay not to thine oh an understanding in all thy ways[00:03:55]

Acknowledge Him and He shall correct our paths[00:04:02]

Be ( ) you can follow him[00:04:07]

We judge and condemn just as ignorant as them[00:04:12]

Who religion tells us that we should ignore[00:04:17]

Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him[00:04:23]

Exposed by the very things that we adore[00:04:27]

We grin and shake hands then lay ambush for the man[00:04:32]

Who has a different point of view then us[00:04:37]

Infuriated cuz he doesn't understand[00:04:43]

Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss[00:04:48]

Why still do evil we don't know how to do good[00:04:53]

Walking on in darkness running from the light ey[00:04:58]

Led to believe because we live in neighborhoods[00:05:04]

Telling us what's going on will be alright[00:05:09]

Oh so repressed so convinced that I was blessed[00:05:14]

When I played with my game of Monopoly[00:05:19]

Oh to suggest that my life is still a mess[00:05:24]

Who reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me[00:05:30]

Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness[00:05:35]

That thou may be saved from thy deception[00:05:40]

How long shall thy face those lies within thee[00:05:46]

Oh Jerusalem keeping them from perfection[00:05:50]

Abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bare[00:05:57]

Fruit of itself except in the vine[00:06:01]

I am the vine ye are the branches He's in live in me[00:06:06]

And I in him the same bring forth much fruit[00:06:12]

Without me you can do nothing[00:06:17]

Oh Jerusalem you're traditions have deceived you[00:06:20]

I've chosen you you haven't chosen me[00:06:28]

Do whatsoever you asking my name he may give to you[00:06:31]

But in vain they call my name[00:06:38]

Teaching doctrines just the same[00:06:41]

Justified among themselves[00:06:43]

But God know with the heart what man esteemed as smart[00:06:49]

Is an abomination to Emmanuel[00:06:54]

Just repent turn from selfish motivation[00:07:00]

So iniquity will not cause your demise[00:07:05]

Make you a new heart and a new spirit for why would he die[00:07:10]

Oh Jerusalem please tell me why[00:07:16]

I have no pleasure in the death of him to die[00:07:21]

Says the Lord God where forth turn yourselves and live[00:07:25]

It's not the talkers but the walkers and his word[00:07:30]

Are the only ones the Father will forgive[00:07:35]

Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness[00:07:41]

That thou may be saved from thy deception[00:07:46]

How long shall thy face those lies within thee[00:07:52]

Oh Jerusalem providing you no protection[00:07:56]

Oh Jerusalem [00:08:01]

Oh Jerusalem[00:08:11]
