I've been used and abused God knows I've paid my dues No time to lose I've got the blues So please don't you light my fuse I've got to get out The shituation that I'm living I've got to get out The flesh is weak but I'm still willing I've got to get out Yeah! Me a go kill dem wid de riddim
CHORUS An Emotional Prisoner And JAH is my listener He will guide me through This ghetto blues
I've been whipped and I've been tricked Human cargo from the slavery ship I clenched my fist can't take more of this It's time for me to flip the script I've got to get out The shituation that I'm living I've got to get out The flesh is weak but I'm still willing I've got to get out I am Me a go kill dem wid de riddim
CHORUS
Oh in my heart I search for love Cause I've been taken advantage Got to carry JAH JAH heavy load Along that rough and ragged road
I got to escape, before it's too late So don't test my faith cause I'm jumping the gate And I'm out
CHORUS
Emotional Prisoner And JAH is my listener My fortress and protection My spiritual connection The rod of all correction Through trials and tribulation
This is no delusion I see him in a vision Emotional, emotional uncontrollable Uncontrollable emotional
