"I Get Out" lyrics - LAURYN HILL
I get out I get out of all the boxes
I get out you can't hold me in these chains
I get out Father free me from this bondage
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
Your stinking resolution is no type of solution
Preventing me from freedom maintaining your pollution
I won't support your lie no more I won't even try no more
If I have to die oh lord that's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more I can't be victimized no more
I just don't sympathize no more 'cause now I understand
You just wanna use me you say love and abuse me
You never thought you lose me but how quickly we forget
That nothing is for certain you thought I stay here hurting
You're guilt trips just not working repressing me to death
'Cause now I'm choosing life yo, I take the sacrifice yo
If everything must go then go that's how I choose to live
No more compromises I see past your disguises
Blinded to your mind control stealing in my eternal soul
Appearing trough material, to keep my as your slave
But I get out, I get out of all your boxes
I get out you can't hold me in these chains
I get out
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
See what you see is what you get
Oh and you ain't say nothing yet
Oh I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if your upset
See you don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling no excuse
To keep me in this box psychological locks
Repressing through expression sementing this repression
Promoting mass deception so that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen oh let my father's will be done
Just get out, just get out of all these boundes
Just get out can't hold me in these chains
Just get out oh these tradition's killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
I just accepted what you say keeping me among the death
The only way to know is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed you oh have everyone believed
That you're the soul authority just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality the system is a joke
You be smart to save your soul
And escape this mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice to a system for thedead
Oh are you sure where's the passion of this living
Are you sure is god you're serving
Obligated to a system getting less that you're deserving
Who made up these schools I say
Who made up these rules I say
And no more conditioning, Just to keep us as your slaves
Just get out of this social purgatory,
Just get out these traditions are a lie
Just get out superstition's killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out
