Everywhere I turn no matter where I look
The system's in control, it's all ran by the book
I gotta get away so I can free my mind
Escape is what I need
Away from electric eyes

No matter where I am
I see my face around
They pin lies on my name
And put them town to town
Don't have a place to run
But there's no need to hide
I gotta find a place
So I won't hide away

Xscape
Gotta get away from the system, rules and the world today
Xscape
The pressure that I feel from relationships
Had to go away
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies
That has no ink
Xscape
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me

Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away

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
Time to make a change

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

Xscape (I gotta)
Gotta get away from the system, rules and the world today
Xscape
The pressure that I feel from relationships
Had to go away
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies
That has no ink
(I gotta get away)
Xscape
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me
(Get away)

Xscape
Gotta get away from the system, rules and the world today
Xscape
The pressure that I feel from relationships
Had to go away
(pressure that I'm feelin everyday)
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies
That has no ink
(come on now)
Escape
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me
(come on now)

When I go
This problem world won't bother me
Won't worry me no more

Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
Xscape

Xscape
Gotta get away from the system, rules and the world today
(I can find a way)
Xscape
The pressure that I feel from relationships
Had to go away
(Pressure that I'm feelin)
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies
That has no ink
(writing all those lies)
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me
(Xscape and then I do just what I wanna)

Xscape
I gotta get away from the system, rules and the world today
Xscape
The pressure that I feel from relationships
Had to go away
(See, I've gotta get away)
Xscape
The man with the pen that writes the lies
That has no ink
(The man that writes the lies)
Xscape
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me

Xscape
Gotta get away (Tell my mother! I gotta get away)
Xscape
The pressure that I feel (take it no more)
Xscape
The man with the pen
(I can't take this kind shit no more)
Xscape
I do what I wanna
Cause I gotta be nobody but me
Xscape
