Lyrics: "I Find It Hard To Say (Rebel)" -- Lauryn Hill

I find it hard to say that everything is alright
Dont look at me that way like everything is alright
Cause my own eyes can see through all your false pretenses
But what you fail to see is all the consequences
You think our lives are cheap and easy to be wasted
As history repeats so foul you can taste it

And while the people sleep to comfortable to face it
His lifes so incomplete and nothing can replace it
And while the people sleep to comfortable to face it
your lifes so incomplete and nothing can replace it

fret not thyself i say against these laws of man
cause like the bible says his blood is on their hands
and what i gotta say, and what I gotta say is rebel,
while today is still today, choose well
and what i got a say, is rebel
it cant go down this way, choose well, choose well,
choose well, choose well, choose well, choose well

And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
your lifes so incomplete and nothing and no one can replace it
oh no no no no no no no
and what I gotta say (x8) is rebel (x6)....
repent, the day is far too spent,
rebel, rebel
wake up (x8) and rebel
we must destroy in order to rebuild
wake up you might as well
are you, are you satisfied,
are you satisfied, rebel

ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh rebel

why dont you rebel? (x3)

  2. She is saying so much on this album. It's funny how people will listen and not understand the context of what it is she is saying. Love her. Love the message because of the truth in. When she repeats over and over rebel rebel rebel rebel rebel... Ughhhh it kills me! She's telling us to rebel against what society makes "okay" There is no more good or bad, because people have the opportunity to say your not the judge of me. It's sad I can go on with this forever. Listen to Lauryn and let her tell you
