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
