Les paroles :
Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The system’s in control
It’s all turn by the book
I got to get away so I can free my mind
Xscape, is what I need
Away from the electric eyes
Bo matter where I am
I see my face around
They pin lies on my name
Then push them from town to town
Don’t have a place to run
But there’s no need to hide
I got to find a place
But I won’t hide away
Xscape, got to get away
From the system rules in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
That writes the lies that has no end
Xscape, I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta please nobody but me
I try 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
Whi is it I can’t do whatever I want to ?
When it’s 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
Xscape, got to get away
From the system rules in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
That writes the lies that has no end
Xscape, I do what I want
Cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away
From the system rules in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
That writes the lies that has no end
Xscape, I do what I want
Cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, where did I go
This problem world won’t bother me
This problem world won’t bother me
yeah, oh, yeah, ooh
Xscape, got to get away
From the system rules in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
That writes the lies that has no end
Xscape, I do what I want
Cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away
From the system rules in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
That writes the lies that has no end
Xscape, I do what I want
Cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, got to get away
(Igotta get away)
Xscape, the pressure that I face
From relationships has to got away
Xscape, the man with the pen
Xscape, I do what I want
Cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape, Xscape
