Michael Jackson — Xscape Original Version

[Intro] "Open up six" "He's gone!" [Verse 1] Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look The system's in control, it's all run by the book I gotta get away so I can free my mind Xscape is (what I need) from the (electric eyes) No matter where I am, I see my face around They pin lies on my name then push from town to town Don't have a place to run but there's no need to hide I gotta, find a place, but I won't, hide away [Chorus] Xscape Gotta get away from the system rules in the world today Xscape The pressure that I face from relationships has to go away Xscape (The man with the pen that writes the lies that have no end) Xscape I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me [Interlude] Sometimes I feel like I've gotta get away [Verse 2] I tried to share my life with someone I can love But games and money is all she ever thought of How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost? I'm tired of silly games, it's time to make a change Why is it I can't do whatever I want to When it's my personal life and I don't live for you So don't you try to tell me what is right for me You be concerned about you, I can do what I want to [Chorus] Xscape (Hoo-hoo!) Gotta get away from the system rules in the world today (I've gotta get away) Xscape The pressure that I face from relationships has to go away Xscape The man with the pen that writes the lies that have no end (I've gotta get away) Xscape I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (I've gotta get away) Xscape Gotta get away from the system rules in the world today Xscape (Yeah) The pressure that I face from relationships has to go away Xscape The man with the pen that writes the lies that have no end (Hoo-hoo!) (C'mon, now) Xscape I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (Hoooooo-hoo-hoo!) (C'mon, now) [Bridge] When I go This problem world won't bother me This problem world This problem world, won't bother me, won't bother me, no more Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Hooo!
