Lyric

I’m tired of injustice, I’m tired of the schemes
Your lies are disgusting
So, what does it mean, damn it?
Kickin’ me down, I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damn it
Peek in the shadow, come into the light
You tell me I’m wrong
Then you better prove you’re right
You’re sellin’ out souls but I, I care about mine
I’ve got to get stronger
Then I won’t give up the fight
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
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream (You just, you just, uh)
Tired of you tellin’ the story your way
It’s causin’ confusion
You think it’s okay, damn it
You keep changin’ the rules while I, I keep playin’ the game
I can’t take it much longer
I think I might go insane
With such confusion, don’t it make you wanna scream? (make you wanna scream)
Your bash abusin’ victimize within’ the scheme (I keep screamin’ that)
You find your pleasure scandalizin’ every lie
Oh Father, please have mercy
‘Cause I just can’t take it
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressuring’ me
Stop pressuring’ me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop fuckin’ with me
Make me wanna scream
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)
With such delusion, don’t it make you wanna scream? (make you wanna scream)
Your bash abusin’ victimize within the scheme (make you wanna scream)
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Oh brother, please have mercy
‘Cause I just can’t take it
Just can’t take it
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
