Scream

Janet Jackson

Tired of in-just-ice, tired of the schemes, kind-a dis-gust-ed,
So what does it mean? Kick-ing me down, I got to get up,
as jacked as it sounds, the whole sys-tem sucks.
Peek in the sha-dow, come in-to the light,
you tell me I'm wrong, then you bet-ter prove you're right.
You're sell-ing out souls but
I care a-bout mine, I've got to get strong-er,
and I won't give up the fight.

R: With such con-fu-sion, don't it make you wan-na scream.
   Your bash a-busin' vic-tim-ize with-in the scheme. 
   You try to cope with ev-ery lie they scru-tin-ize.
   Some-bod-y please have mer-cy 'cause I just can't take it.

   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, make me want to scream.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, make me wan-na scream.

Tired of you tell-in’ the stor-y your way.
It’s caus-in’ con-fus-ion, you think it’s o-kay.
Keep chang-in’ the rules, whi-le you’re play-in’ the game.
I can’t take it much long-er, I think I might go in-sane.

R: With such con-fus-ion, don’t it make you wan-na scream.
   Your bash a-bus-in’ vic-tim-ize with-in the scheme.
   You find your plea-sure scan-dal-iz-in’ ev-ery lie.
   Oh fa-ther, please have mer-cy ‘cause I just can’t take it.
   
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, make me want to scream.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop fucking with me, make me wan-na scream.

spoken: Oh, my God, can’t be-lieve what I saw as I turned 
        on the T. V. this eve-ning.

I was dis-gust-ed by all the in-just-ice. (All the injustice.)


R: With such col-lu-sions, don’t it make you wan-na scream.
   Your bash a-bus-in’ vic-tim-ize with-in the scheme.
   You try to cope with ev-ery lie they scru-tin-ize.
   Oh brother, please have mer-cy ‘cause I just can’t take it.
   
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, make me want to scream.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, Just stop pres-sur-in’ me.
   Stop pres-sur-in’ me, make me want to scream.
