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
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
With such confusions don’t it 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
Tired of you tellin’ the story your way / It’s causin’ confusion / You think it’s okay / Keep changin’ the rules / While you’re 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 / Your bash abusin’ victimize within the scheme / You find your pleasure scandalizin’ every lie / Oh father, 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’ with me / Stop fuckin’ with me, make me wanna scream
“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…”
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 collusions don’t it 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
Stop pressurin’ me, just stop pressurin’ me / Stop pressurin’ me, make me wanna scream…
