Everyone needs to hear this..

[PraiseHimFirst]

Please listen and post your thoughts below.. this song really spoke to me, it's time we wake up our children America!! It's not okay that churches are allowing our kids to play "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" in the basement! It's not okay for our kids to go to church on Sunday and spend the week watching MTV. We have to spread the TRUTH about the music industry. Music WILL harm our children. Some parents say, "Oh, it's just a song.. no big deal" but it IS a big deal. I was a very depressed teenager and the music I listened to just made it worse. Listening to Nirvana, Hole, Evanescence, etc. made me feel like it was "cool" to be depressed. God doesn't want our children to live this way..


YouTube - Lauryn Hill Exposes the Industry - (I get out of your boxes)

Lyrics:
I get out, I 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

[Verse 1]
Your stinkin' resolution
Is no type of solution
Preventin' me from freedom
Maintainin' your polution
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 victimised no more
I just don't sympathize no more
Cuz now I understand
You just wanna use me
You say "love" then abuse me
You never thought you'd loose 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
Cuz now I'm choosin' life, yo
I take the sacrifice, yo
If everything must go, then go
That's how I choose to live

[Pause]

[Singing rest of Verse 1]
That's how I choose to live...
Hehehehe, awhh
No more compromises
I see past your diguises
Blindin' through mind control
Stealin' my eternal soul
Appealin' through material
To keep me as your slave

[Singing Chorus]
But I get out
Oh, I get out of all your boxes
I get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
I'll get out
Oh, I want out of social bondage
Knowin' my condition
Oh, is the reason I must change

[Singing Verse 2]
See, what you see is what you get
Oh, and you ain't seen nothin' yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
See it don't change the truth
And your hurt feeling's no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressin' true expression
Cementin' this repression
Promotin' mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh, let my Father's will be done

[Singing Chorus]
And just get out
Oh, just get out of all this bondage
Just get out
Oh, you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
All these traditions killin' freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must change

[Singing Verse 3]
I just accepted what you said
Keepin' me among the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn and grow
But faith is not your speed
Oh, you'd had everyone believe
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
The system is a joke
Oh, you'd be smart to save your soul
Oh, and escape this mind control
You spent your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Oh, are you sure...
Where is the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you servin'
Obligated to a system
Getting less then you're deserving
Who made up these schools, I say
Who made up these rules, I say
Animal conditioning
Oh, just to keep us as a slave

[Singing Chorus]
Oh, just get out
Of this social purgatory
Just get out
All these traditions are a lie
Just get out
Superstition killing freedom
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out
Just get out
Just get out
Let's get out
Let's get out
Knowin' my condition
Is the reason I must die
Just get out

There is far too much compromise among our youth who live in Christian families. Compromise is deadly, and it is learned from the parents.

No, really watch it to hear what she says..

 

[Alabaster]

Praise, can you tell me about her? I have never heard of her. I see all the terrible stuff some have written there at the YouTube site. Do you know about her?

I don't know everything about Lauryn, I just know that she was very, very popular when I was in high school then she just dropped out of sight. She has said that she felt the industry was trying to control her and make her do things she wasn't comfortable with (as she clearly speaks of in this song) I read that she quit the business and started attending Bible Studies.. I think she just realized what other artists aren't willing to accept (or don't care about) which is that they are nothing but puppets, used to further corrupt and poison the minds of the masses..

Was she a secular artist? What is she now?

 

[PraiseHimFirst]

Was she a secular artist? What is she now?

Yeah, she was a mainstream artist. Her studio album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" sold 18 million copies in 1998. I'm not sure what she's doing now, I just know she's made a few appearances here and there. She is married to Bob Marley's son and they have five kids..

I'm not saying she's a model Christian or anything, I just think she got what was going on in the music industry and I liked what she said in this song..

Some of her other lyrics I like: (Speaking on her upcoming departure from the business)

It's funny how money changes situations
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, you - on every station
Some wan' play young Lauryn like she dumb
But remember not a game new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
You might win some but you just lost one

Now, now how come your talk turn cold
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control
Now you're all floss, what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now I'm all hopeful
Every man want to act like he's exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent
Can't slick talk on the day of judgment
Your movement's similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how your whole style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocent
Always want to take it to the full out extent
Always want to make it seem like good intent
Never want to face it when it's time for punishment
I know that you don't wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don't change then the rain soon come
See you might win some but you just lost one

Thanks for the info, Praise! :adore

again, being a former bi-sexual male. and also formerly into some occult stuff(note: i am not a conspiracist btw). i pick up on this stuff quickly. most of the toons i watches as a kid are very new agey. far more so then i thought. i noticed it then but wow! this isnt new. the producers look for images and want to sell stuff that people want to hear or lust after, satan feeding men want they want to hear that is all this is.i dont think that you can make someone do what they dont already have a precusivity to do already.

by watching gay promoting shows doesnt mean you will become gay. though if you are already that way in the first place it will ease that guilt and you will openly do it.

before alabaster counters this.i was a devout jw(they teach being lbgt is a sin) and then in the 80's wasnt a lot of gay postive programs.at the age of 10 approx started have that impulse.

What do you expect me to counter you about?

The only thing I may have an issue with is that people are quite capable to sink down to extreme depths of wickedness without too much provocation. those who don't have any thoughts of homosexuality, given the right amount of exposure to the idea, and no moral teaching (which is common in today's secularity), would come to think nothing of embarking on a path of homosexuality and treat it as a legitimate choice of lifestyle. Hey, it's happening.

i understand that, however, i am the exemption to that as i KNEW being into boys was a sin and tried not to look. that is the difference i knew and was taught, yet it still happened. that being said i will left that for the appropriate forum.its not suprising that the devil and his kids do this, nor should it be. we cant expect satan to be holy.
