xscape original version

Michael Jackson

Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, it s all ran by the book
I ve got to get away so I can clear my mind
Xscape is what I need
Away from electric eyes

No matter where I am, I see my face around
They then ask on my name, and push from town to town
Don t have a place to run, but there s no need to hide
I ve got to, find a place
So I won t hide away

Xscape, got to get away from a system
lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
from relationships that s gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen
that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna
cause I gotta face nobody but me

Sometimes I feel like
I ve gotta get away

I tried to share my life with someone I could 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?
Went in 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

Xscape, got to get away from a system
lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
from relationships that s gone away

Xscape, the man with the pen
that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna
cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape, got to get away from a system
lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
from relationships that s gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen
that writes the lies that hassle this
Man
Xscape, I do what I wanna
cause I gotta face nobody but me

When I go, this problem world won t bother me no more

Xscape
Xscape

Xscape

Xscape, got to get away
from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
from relationships that s gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen
that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna
cause I gotta face nobody but me

Xscape, got to get away from a system
lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
from relationships that s gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen
that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna
cause I gotta face nobody but me
