[Verse 1: Michael and Janet]
I'm tired of injustice
I'm tired of the schemes
The lies are disgusting
So what does it mean, damn it?
You're kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damn it
Hee, hoo hoo
Peek in the shadow, come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong, then you better prove you're right
You're selling 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 abusing 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 pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream!
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make you just wanna scream

[Verse 2: Michael and Janet]
I'm tired of you telling (Telling)
The story your way (The story your way)
You're causing confusion (Confusion)
You think it's okay, damn it
You keep changing the rules
While I'm playing the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane

[Pre-Chorus: Michael, Janet, Both]
With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream?
Make you wanna scream
Your bash abusing victimize within the scheme
You find your pleasure scandalizing every lie
Oh Father, please have mercy, 'cause I just can't take it

[Chorus: Michael & Janet]
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream

[Bridge: Janet]
Oh my God, can't believe what I saw as I turned the TV
This evening, I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice

[Pre-Chorus: Michael and Janet]
With such delusions don't it make you wanna scream?
Make you wanna scream
Your bash abusing 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

[Outro: Michael & Janet]
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressuring me, just stop pressuring me
Stop pressuring me, make me wanna scream
(Stop your pressure)

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
