Xscape (Original Version)

1. Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The system's in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind
Escape 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
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide
I've got to, find a place, so I won't hide away.

[Chorus:]
Escape, got to get away from a system
Lose in the world today
Escape, the pressure that I face from relationships
Got to go away
Escape, the man with the pen that
Writes the lies that hassle this man
Escape, I do what I want to cause
I got to face nobody but me.

Sometimes I feel like
I've got to get away.

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?
I'm tired of silly games, it's time to make a change.

Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you, I can do what I want to.

[Bridge:]
When I go
This problem world won't bother
Me no more.
