Xscape

Written And Composed by Michael Jackson


(Prison guard)
Open up, 6
Hes gone!

Verse 1
Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, its all ran by the book
Ive 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
Dont have a place to run, but theres no need to hide,
Ive got to, find a place,
So I wont hide away

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

(Girl)
Sometimes I feel like
Ive gotta get away

Verse 2
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?
Im tired of silly games,
Its time to make a change
Why is it I cant do whatever I want to? (oh)
Went in my personal life and I dont live for you (you)
So dont you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you,
I can do what I want to

Chorus
Xscape, (hoo-hoo) (oh, no) got to get away from a system lose in the world today (Ive got to get away)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships thats gone away (dont you know I need it?)
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (Ive got to get away)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (get away)

Xscape, (dont you try it) got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships thats gone away (pressure that Im facing every day)
Xscape, (hoo-hoo) the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (come on, now)
Xscape, (come on, now) I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (hoo-hoo)

Bridge
When I go, (oh, go) this problem world wont bother me no more
(This problem world wont bother me no more) (problem world, bother me, yeah, oh, yeah, hoo)

Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape

Chorus
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today (Ive got find a way)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships thats gone away (pressure that Im facing)
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (why I wanna fly)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (I do what I wanna, hoo-hoo)

Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships thats 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 (hoo-hoo)

Xscape, got to get away (Ive got find a way)
Xscape, the pressure that I face (cant take it no more)
Xscape, the man with the pen (I cant take this no more)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape (auow!)

Xscape,
Got to get away
Xscape,
The pressure that I face
Xscape,
The man with the pen (get away)
Xscape,

I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (hee-hee-hee)
(Hoo)
Xscape
