Lavish Rebellion [DOT COM]

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 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 then abuse me

You never thought you’d lose 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

“I Get Out” by Lauryn Hill

All their talk, is seasoned to perfection
The road they walk, commanding your affection
They need to be needed, deceived by motivation
An opportunity, to further situation
Why they so important, is without explanation
Please don’t patronize me, Mr. Intentional

-“Mr. Intentional” by Lauryn Hill

I’ve been in and out of town, tryna get out of survival mode
I’m tired of building walls
I want everybody free, know I gotta start with me
Hard to fight the urge to build that wall
Tired of watching people die, literal or figurative
I just want someone to stay around
I don’t trust nobody, no, you fuck anybody now
Doing anything to get around

I’ve been in and out of town, lies manifest
Relyin’ on a tragedy to end up here
What don’t kill you make you stronger, that’s a law to keep you going
Defyin’ gravity to face my fears
A reminder that’s on God, a reminder that I can’t stop shit, it’s all in motion
I’m so impatient
In the end, we all we got, in the end I hope love finds us, that’s all I’m sayin’
