(Prison guard)
Open up, 6
He's gone!

Verse 1
Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, its all ran por the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind,
Xscape 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
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me

(Girl)
Sometimes I feel like
I've gotta get away

Verse 2
I tried to share my life with someone I could amor
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, its time to make a change

Why is it I can't do whatever I want to? (oh)
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you (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

Chorus
Xscape, (hoo-hoo) (oh, no) got to get away from a system lose in the world today (I've got to get away)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away (don't you know I need it?)
Xscape, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (I've got to get away)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (get away)

Xscape, (don't you try it) got to get away from a system lose in the world today
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away (pressure that I'm facing every day)
Xscape, (hoo-hoo) the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (come on, now)
Xscape, (come on, now) I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (hoo-hoo)

Bridge
When I go, (oh, go) this problem world won't bother me no mais
(This problem world won't bother me no more) (problem world, bother me, yeah, oh, yeah, hoo)

Xscape

Chorus
Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today (I've got find a way)
Xscape, the pressure that I face from relationships that's gone away (pressure that I'm facing)

Xscape, got to get away from a system lose in the world today
