"Emotional Prisoner" lyrics

"Emotional Prisoner"

Yeah!
Hear my story
Rage and fury

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!
(We nah give up to dis ya system)
I've got to get out, ah yea!
(Me a go kill dem wid de riddim)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through (me through)
The ghetto blues (the ghetto blues)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through, yeah! (me through)
The ghetto blues (the ghetto blues)

Cause 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, yeah!
(We nah give up to dis ya system)
I've got to get out, ah yea!
(Me a go kill dem wid de riddim)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through (me through)
The ghetto blues (the ghetto blues)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through, yeah! (me through)
Oh lord, oh lord (the ghetto blues)

Oh na na na na uh uh, yeah!
I say, I say, yeah!
Oh na, oh lai, ah ha ha!

Oh, in my heart I search for love
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

(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!
(We nah give up to dis ya system)
To survive
(Me a go kill dem wid de riddim)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through (me through)
The ghetto blues (the ghetto blues)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
He will guide me through, yeah! (me through)
Oh lord (the ghetto blues)

Emotional prisoner
But Jah is my listener
(Emotional prisoner) emotional, emotional
But Jah is my listener
My fortress and protection (emotional prisoner)
My spiritual connection
Yeah! (but Jah is my listener)
The rod of all correction (emotional prisoner)
Through trials and tribulation

My fortress and protection (emotional prisoner)
I see him in a vision
I say (emotional prisoner)
Emotional, emotional, emotional, uncontrollable (emotional prisoner)
Emotional, uncontrollable, emotional, uncontrollable (emotional prisoner)
Emotional, emotional, oh!
