#6. Lauryn Hill, I Get Out
Album: MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. | Gatunek: Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter | Rok wydania: 2002 | 5:17


Nie chcę po raz kolejny być melodramatyczny, tym bardziej, że chyba wyczerpałem już na to wszelkie limity przy okazji tego topu. Tak jak "Take the "A" Train" jest moim #1 jeśli chodzi o brzmienie, tak, jeśli miałbym oceniać jedynie tekst, to na szczycie znalazłoby się "I Get Out". Utwór jest o szeroko pojętej wolności, o tym, co ją ogranicza i że są to ludzie i ich "przykazania", a nie Bóg. "Unplugged 2.0." pomimo zarzutów zbyt jednostajnego brzmienia, to naprawdę uderzająco wręcz bogate źródło prawd życiowych. Ja bynajmniej nie znalazłem tu takiej linijki, z którą bym nie mógł się zgodzić. Na chomiku wyedytowana do 4:58 wersja utworu, a tymczasem tekst:

I get out
I get out of all your boxes
I'll get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll 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
Oh 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 want to use me
You say love, then abuse me
You never thought you'd lose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothing is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin
Your guilt trips just not working
Repressing me to death
Cause now I'm choosing life yo
I'll take the sacrifice yo
If everything must go then go
That's how I chose to live

No more comprises
I see past your disguises
Blinding me through mind control
Stealing my eternal soul
Appealing through material
Oh just to keep me as your slave
But I get out, oh I get out of all of your boxes I get out
Oh you can't hold me in these chains, I'll get out
Of this social pergutory
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
See what you see is what you get
And oh, you ain't seen nothing 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 feelings no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressing true expression
Cementing 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 Fathers will be done
And just get out,
Oh just get out of all this bondage
Just get out, oh you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
These traditions killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
I just accepted what you said
Keeping me amongst the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn then grow
But faith is not your speed
You'd have everyone believe
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
This system is a joke
You'd be smart to save your soul
And escape this mind control
You spend your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Where's the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you're serving
Obligated to a system
Getting less than you're deserving
Who made up these rules I say
Who made up these schools I say
Animal conditioning just to keep you as a slave
Oh just get out of this social purgatory
Just get out
These traditions are a lie- just get out
Superstition killing freedom,
knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out, just get out, just get out, let's get out, let's get out,
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die.
