"Black Rage (sketch)" is a protest song by American recording artist Lauryn Hill. The song was originally performed by Hill as a poem, in support of her "Life is Good/Black Rage" tour with American rapper Nas, in 2012. It was re-released on SoundCloud, as a song on August 20, 2014. The song takes it melody from the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic "My Favorite Things", however the song's lyrics feature a much darker undertone and reflects on the history of racism in the United States.[1][2]
