[Intro: Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
*screams* (Hoo!)
*screams* (No)
(Ooh, hee) *screams*
*screams* (Hoo)
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
I'm tired of injustice, I'm tired of the schemes
Your lies are disgustin', so what does it mean? Damn it
You're kickin' me down, ah, I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds, the whole system sucks, damn it
(Hoo! Hoo-hoo)
Peek in the shadow (Hoo-hoo)
I come into the light (Hee-hee)
You tell me I'm wrong (Hee-hee)
Then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls, but ah, I care about mine
I've got to get stronger, and I won't give up the fight
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream?
(Make you wanna scream?)
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme (Hoo)
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize (Ooh, lie, ooh, lie)
Somebody, please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it
[Chorus: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me want to scream (Hoo, hoo)
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me (You just stop it, baby)
Stop pressurin' me (You just, you just), make me want to scream
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
I'm tired of you tellin' (Tellin')
The story your way (Story your way)
You're causin' confusion (Uh-huh-uh)
You think it's okay, damn it
You keep changin' the rules (Hoo-hoo)
While I keep playin' the game (Hoo-hoo)
I can't take it much longer (Hoo-hoo)
I think I might go insane (Yeah)
Ah, baby (Hoo)
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
With such confusion, don't it make you wanna scream? (Make you wanna scream?)
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme (Scheme it, baby)
You find your pleasure scandalizing every lie (Ooh, lie, ooh, lie)
Oh Father, please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it
[Chorus: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
Just stop pressurin' me (Stop your pressure), just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me (Hee-hee), make me want to scream (Hoo, hoo-hoo)
Just stop pressurin' me (Stop your pressure), just stop pressurin' me (Stop your pressure)
Stop fuckin' with me (Hee), make me want to scream
[Bridge: Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson]
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 (All the injustice) *screams*

Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme (Make you want to scream)
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize (Ooh, lie, ooh, lie)
Oh brother, please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it
(Just can't take it)

Just stop pressurin' me (Yeah, yeah), make me want to scream (You're dirty, you're dirty, baby)
Just stop pressurin' me (Stop your doin'), just stop pressurin' me (Stop your pressure)
Just stop pressurin' me, make me want to scream
Just stop pressurin' me (Baby, don't you shut up), just stop pressurin' me (Yeah, just stop me, yeah)
