Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Life is disgusting
So what does it mean, damnit?
Kickin' me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damnit
[Verse 2]
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
But 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
[Verse 5]
Tired of your tellin' (Tellin')
The story your way (The story your way)
It's causin' confusion (Confusion)
You think it's okay, damnit
Keep changin' the rules
While you're playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane
[Verse 6]
With such confusion
It make me wanna scream
Now, baby
[Verse 7]
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, scandalizin' every lie
Oh, Father, please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
[Verse 8]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
With such delusions, don't it make you wanna scream?
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
[Verse 11]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
It makes me wanna scream
[Verse 12]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
[Verse 13]
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Makes me wanna scream
