Kendrick Lamar
Get Out of Your Own Way (U2 at the BBC)
[Intro]
They're like letters, a lot of these songs
And um, this next one I thought was to our daughters
But like everything, you preach what you need to hear
Isn't that right, The Edge
You can preach, but you need to hear
Alright
[Chorus]
Get out of your own way, hey, hey
Get out of your own way, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
Love hurts
Now you're the girl who's left with no words
Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts
It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin
Your skin's not covering
And resistance
Love has got to fight for its existence
The enemy has armies of assistance
The amorous, the glamorous, the kiss
A fist, listen to this, oh
[Chorus]
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
[Post-Chorus]
I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
[Verse 2]
Fight back
Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan and then she took a smack in the mouth
And it all went south
Like freedom
The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead 'em
Master's lookin' for someone to need him
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost said...
[Chorus]
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
[Post-Chorus]
I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
[Chorus]
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
[Short Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
[Outro]
Blessed are the arrogant
For there is the kingdom of their own company
Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward
