(Michael)
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks
(Janet)
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I`m wrong
Then you better prove you`re right
You`re sellin` out souls but
I care about mine
I`ve got to get stronger
And I won`t give up the fight
(Michael)
With such confusions
Don`t it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin` victimize within the scheme
(Janet)
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
(Both)
Somebody please have mercy
`Cause I just can`t take it
Stop pressurin` me
Just stop pressurin` me
Stop pressurin` me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin` me
Just stop pressurin` me
Stop pressurin` me
Make you just wanna scream
(Michael)
Tired of you tellin` the story your way
It`s causin` confusion
You think it`s okay
(Janet)
Keep changin` the rules
While you`re playin` the game
I can`t take it much longer
I think I might go insane
(Michael)
With such confusion
Don`t it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin` victimize within the scheme
(Janet)
You find your pleasure scandalizin` every lie
(Both)
Oh father, please have mercy `cause
I just can`t take it
Stop pressurin` me
Just stop pressurin` me
Stop pressurin` me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin` me
Just stop pressurin` me
Stop fuckin` with me
Make me wanna scream
(Janet)
Oh my God, can`t believe what I saw
As I turned on the TV this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice
(Michael)
All the injustice
(News Man)
A man has been brutally beaten to death by
Police after being wrongly identified as a
robbery suspect. The man was
an 18 year old black male...
(Michael)
With such collusions
Don`t it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin` victimize within the scheme
(Janet)
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
(Both)
Oh brother please have mercy
`Cause I just can`t take it
Stop pressurin` me
Just stop pressurin` me
Stop pressurin` me
Make me wanna scream
