Doan-ticka-doan-doan-ticka-doan-cah... (Repeat 32X)
[Verse 1]
[Michael Jackson]
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Lies are disgustin'
So what does it mean, damnit
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damnit
[Janet Jackson]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Michael + Janet + both]
With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream?
Make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Somebody please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
[Chorus: Michael & Janet]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
[Verse 2]
[Michael + (Janet)]
Tired of your tellin' (Tellin')
The story your way (The story your way)
It's causin' confusion (Confusion)
You think it's okay, damnit
[Janet]
Keep changin' the rules
While you're playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane
[Pre-Chorus: Michael + Janet + both]
Make me wanna scream
Now, baby
With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream?
Make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
Schemin', baby
You find your pleasure scandalizing every lie
Oh Father, please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
[Chorus: Michael & Janet]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
[Pre-Chorus: Michael + Janet + both]
Yeah yeah
Baby...
With such collusions, don't it make you wanna scream?
Make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Oh brother, please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it, no
[Chorus: Michael & Janet]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
