Michael:

Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damnit

Janet:

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 care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

Michael:

With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

Janet:

You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize

Both:

Somebody please have mercy
'cause I just can't take it

Chorus:

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

Michael:

Tired of you tellin' the story your way
It's causin' confusion
You think it's okay

Janet:

Keep changin' the rules
While you're playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane

Michael:

With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

Janet:

You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie

Both:

Oh father, please have mercy 'cause
I just can't take it

Chorus 2:

Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop fuckin' with me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream

Janet:

"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"

Michael:

"All the injustice"

News Man:

"A man has been brutally beaten to death
by Police
after being wrongly identified as a
robbery suspect. The man was an 18 year old black male..."

Michael:

With such collusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize' within the scheme

Janet:

You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize

Both:

Oh brother please have mercy
'cause I just can't take it

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus 2
