Scream Lyrics

Michael:
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
The lies are disgusting
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks

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
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 you just wanna scream

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

Janet:
You Keep changin' the rules
While I keep 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
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop fuckin' with 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

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
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream

aaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I think, even though it's most likely about the industry and such, that it could also apply to things such as dishonesty between the people you thought were your friends. Everything is falling down and it's all one big confusing mess, pressuring you to the point of insanity...? Eh, that's what it applies to in my case.. >_>

This song is awesome!! As well as all the rest of his songs. I didn't notice it said "stop f***ing with me" either. But it does add a good touch. They're always on his back. Its what everybody that talks crap and the media needs to hear. I loveee how its a brother and sister video. Like how they dance with each other!! That was pretty sick-well michael jackson always is. It just looks like they're having a great time. And they also reflect the behaviors of little brothers and sisters which makes it an even better music video. Not to mention the great theme and graphics ;D Kudos to Michael and Janet.

I'm pretty sure this is about the tabloids hounding Michael. Not that he doesn't deserve it sometimes...

Not just about tabloids and haters, but about those who control the music and advertising industries. In his song, 'They Don't Care About Us,' he wrote, 'Jew me Sue me Everybody Do me Kick me Kike me Don't you Black or white me'. So, this was most likely about the managers, studio heads and controllers of Hollywood entertainment.

Uh, not.

Obviously this song is about the flaws within America's government, the bias as well as reporters/the media changing stories around and putting everyone on a cross for no particular reason at all other than.. creating drama.

Janet Jackson said this song is of all the allegations with the false Jorden Chandler sexual molestion charges. She said all the injustice with the system for someone to do such a thing and the guy dies, the kid said in public it was his stepfather put him up to it for $$$ problems. She says Michael just wants to SCREAM!!

Not Valid

I was listening to this song a while ago and I never realized that he actually says 'stop fucking with me'. Wow. Makes the song a whole lot better, because every other time I heard this song, that part was cut out. Go Michael!
