I Get Out Lyrics - Mtv Unplugged 2.0 - Lauryn Hill

I get out, I'll get out of all your boxes 

I get out, you can't hold me in these chains 

I'll get out 

Father free me from this bondage 

Knowin' my condition 

Is the reason I must change 

Your stinkin' resolution 

Is no type of solution 

Preventin' me from freedom 

Maintainin' 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 victimised no more 

I just don't sympathize no more 

'cause now I understand 

You just want to use me 

You say "love" then abuse me 

You never thought you'd loose me 

But how quickly we forget 

That nothin' is for certain 

You thought I'd stay here hurtin' 

Your guilt trip's just not workin' 

Repressin' me to death 

'cause now I'm choosin' life, yo 

I'll take the sacrifice, yo 

If everything must go, then go 

That's how I choose to live 

Heh... hehehehehe... 

Ok, we gettin' there 

At least I had a chunk 

Aight ok, it's how I choose to live 

Hehehe, awww 

No more compromises 

I see past your diguises 

Blindin' through mind control 

Stealin' my eternal soul 

Appealin' through material 

To keep me as your slave 

But I get out 

Oh, I get out of all your boxes 

I'll get out 

Oh, you can't hold me in these chains 

I get out 

Oh, I want out of social bondage 

Knowin' my condition 

Oh, is the reason I must change 

See what you see is what you get 

Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet 

Oh, I don't care if you're upset 

I could care less if you're upset 

See it don't change the truth 

And your hurt feeling's no excuse 

To keep me in this box 

Psychological locks 

Repressin' true expression 

Cementin' this repression 

Promotin' 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 

And just get out 

Oh, just get out of all these bondage 

Just get out 

Oh, you can't hold me in chains 

Just get out 

All these traditions killin' freedom 

Knowin' my condition 

Is the reason I must change 

I've just accepted what you said 

Keepin' me among the dead 

The only way to know 

Is to walk then learn and grow 

But faith is not your speed 

Oh, you've had everyone believed 

That you're the sole authority 

Just follow the majority 

Afraid to face reality 

The system is a joke 

Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul 

Oh, when escape is mind control 

You spent your life in sacrifice 

To a system for the dead 

Oh, are you sure... 

Where is the passion in this living 

Are you sure it's God you servin' 

Obligated to a system 

Getting less then you're deserving 

Who made up these schools, I say 

Who made up these rules, I say 

Animal conditioning 

Oh, just to keep us as a slave 

Oh, just get out 

Of this social purgatory 

Just get out 

All these traditions are alive 

Just get out 

Superstition killing freedom 

Knowin' my condition 

Is the reason I must die, ahh 

Just get out 

Just get out 

Just get out 

Let's get out 

Let's get out 

Knowin' my condition 

Is the reason I must die 

Just get out
