“Out Ta Get Me” talks about how Axl Rose got harassed by the police for things that he didn’t do. So no matter what they do to him, they will never get him for something he didn’t do. As he said:
We wanna dedicate this song to the people that try to hold you back, the people that tell you how to li...
[Verse 1]
Been hidin' out and layin' low
It's nothing new to me
Well, you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity
[Pre-Chorus]
They break down the doors, and they rape my rights, but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got something I've been building up inside
For so fuckin' long
[Chorus 1]
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And every time you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed
[Pre-Chorus]
They push me into a corner just to get me to fight, but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got something I've been building up inside
I'm already gone
[Chorus 2]
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me
[Bridge]
No, no, whoa
No, n-n-n-no, no
No, no, whoa
No, no no no
Lemme see ya try
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Some people got a chip on their shoulder
And some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey that you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree
[Chorus 1]
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me
[Chorus 2]
They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
[Outro]
So, you can suck me
Take that one to heart

The lyrics are saying ‘I’ve always been in trouble but I’m still handling it.’ Like every time you turn around, someone is trying to screw you over financially, or the cops are banging on your door and you didn’t do anything.
—Axl Rose, Hit Parader
