Lauryn Hill, whose public appearances have been few and far between since her days back in the 90s as a member of the Fugees, posted the message below to Twitter Wednesday night. It contained a link to an old, stripped-down demo of a song she has performed over the last few years called “Black Rage.”.
“Black rage is founded on two-thirds a person / Rapings and beatings and suffering that worsens,” Hill sings on the record. “Black human packages tied up in strings / Black rage can come from all these kinds of things.”
It does seem that many residents of Ferguson, Mo. share in Ms. Hill’s sentiments as to what has sparked a form of rage in the way many residents are being treated by the people who have sworn an oath to protect them.
An old sketch of Black Rage, done in my living room. Strange, the course of things. Peace for MO. – MLH https://t.co/47v9BEDoN6
