I Get Out
Marley Ziggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up
I get up
Everyday

Got to take a lift
For still we must endure
The trials that we face
Oh the wars that we know
Patience give us virtue
For The seeds we must sow

I get up
I get up
Everyday
I get up
I get up
Anyway

See the light today
Hey you know we got to find a way
We been through a lot of shit
Baby the race isn't for the swift
So smile with the sunrise
There's a lot of life to live

I get up
I get up
Everyday
I get up
I get up
Anyway

Been to the dark place
Surviving the hate
It tries to bring you down
Oh the world is just that way
And through the noise a whisper
Arise and awake

I get up now
I get up now
Everyday
I get up
I get up
Anyway

When all the doors are closed
There's only one thing to do
It always makes it hard
Sometimes you've got to break the rules
And no one else can walk
In your shoes

I get up
I get up
Everyday
I get up
I get up
Anyway

Yes I get up
I get up
Everyday
I get up
I get up
Anyway

I get up
I get up
Everyday
I get up




I get up
Anyway

You want me to play the game you tried again and again
To sell myself for fame fit in the format man
To suit the image you want portrayed so the people are still enslaved
You can't define what we do I won't be put in a box for you

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out

I of the universe won't be prisoners of your little world
The mind is limitless where time does not exist
We travel far beyond the realms of expectations
And I refuse to be what you expect of me

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out

What would you lose to gain the price is high to pay
Desire not to be like them to follow the dream of sin
Blessed are the meek and humble my own spirit
Cause music is a holy thing hey we giving thanks for the blessings

I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out
Mama I get out papa I get out
Said I'm gonna hit it down, said I'm gonna kick it down
I get out, I get out, I get, I get out, I get out
