Lauryn Hill's composition confronts societal passivity and complicity in the face of injustice and moral complacency. The lyrics critique the obliviousness of individuals who remain "too comfortable to face" harsh realities, urging them to awaken from their slumber. Hill emphasizes the cyclical nature of history, where ignorance and apathy continuously lead to repeated atrocities. The song implores listeners to reject the superficial façade of normalcy and acknowledge the profound consequences of their inaction. Echoing biblical connotations of accountability, she warns of the moral culpability inherent in dismissing these truths. The repeated exhortation to "rebel" serves as a call to action, advocating for conscious decision-making and active resistance against oppressive systems. Hill's message resonates as a moral imperative to dismantle and rebuild societal structures in pursuit of justice and authenticity. #SocialAwakening #CallToAction
I Find It Hard to Say (Rebel)
Lyrics
Okay, yeah, alright
I find it hard to say, that everything is alright
Don't 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, too comfortable to face it
His life so incomplete, and nothing can replace it
And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
Your lives 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 gotta say, is rebel, it can't 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 lives are so incomplete, and nothing, and no one, can replace it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say is rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
Repent, the day is far too spent, rebel, rebel
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up and rebel
We must destroy in order to rebuild Wake up, you might as well
Oh are you oh are you satisfied
Oh are you satisfied?
Rebel oh rebel
Why don't you rebel, why don't you rebel?
Why don't you rebel?
I'm fading myself down now
