And the lyrics?? How ironic are they anyway??

(Written and composed by Michael Jackson)

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

Verse 1
Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The systems in control, it's all ran by 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 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? (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 more
(This problem world won't bother me no more) (problem world, bother me, yeah,
oh, yeah, hoo)

Xscape
Xscape
Xscape
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, the man with the pen that writes the lies that hassle this man (why I
wanna fly)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (I do what I wanna,
hoo-hoo)

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 (hoo-hoo)

Xscape, got to get away (I've got find a way)
Xscape, the pressure that I face (can't take it no more)
Xscape, the man with the pen (I can't take this no more)
Xscape, I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me
Xscape (auow!)

Xscape,
Got to get away
Xscape,
The pressure that I face
Xscape,
The man with the pen (get away)
Xscape,
I do what I wanna
I do what I wanna cause I gotta face nobody but me (hee-hee-hee)
(Hoo)
Xscape

Is this the first time youve heard this song ?

Its my fav song by MJ , the real name is ESCAPE
 
Invincible sessions. The song was the only song I remember MJ being upset about having leaked. It's why its banned from download from the sites (though Youtube links are okay).

Thanks!! Wow!! That was to be on the Invincible album? Or around that time??
 
I love this song so much.
It's exactly the kind of thing i crave from him now with his passing. I just want more and more things from him and i enjoy his mature voice the most.
Im still trying to find more unreleased stuff from dangerous/invincible era, have you heard she got it? It's also awesome. It has such an addictive beat.
 
I'm starting to wonder what the original Invincible was going to be like. With songs like Escape and A Place With No Name. Seems like the Invincible he had in mind was going to send a clear message that perhaps Sony didn't like. Hmmm....

Great song.
 
Agreed. Great song I wish he had of put it on Invincible - I really enjoy it but as said earlier, Mj didn't like it being leaked so...*hides* I still have it on my pc. I can't help myself! Escape rocks
 
I was listening to this song earlier today... i love it! :) :wub:

I really wish he could have put that on the invincible album

HAHA ah man... good one, I've got to remember that one :D

Now just wait until someone comes in and drops a "Is that what they teach you in the sissy school of yours, how to forget who your friends are?!" on us :D

I really don't like the way Michael is singing the verses in Escape - The chorus is alright.
Anyone know who produced it?

I don't know, but for some reason I compare this song with "Shout", which I hated the first time I heard it... but after 5 spins or so it became my shit :D
 
Love MJ's diversity.
Xscape (was Escape really the original name? I also believed it was Xscape? When it just leaked it was called like that, never changed either?), the song where people got sued over ha,ha.

Reminds me a bit of Shout. Not as much, but has a bit the same feeling to it.

Yes, it's really named Escape. - The one who leaked it got it wrong.

EDIT: Found a great post by Dangerous Incorporated about this song:

ahah been naming it Xscape lol anways fraking nice track! It's really my favorite. The beat alone is just WOAH! I've always wondered why this track didn't make it unto any of Mike's albums.
 
^^^ everything on Escape is delicious 'awww' lol hahah :D
 
I like it when he reveals his talking voice or laughter in his songs.
I love this actually with all artists. I get so excited just for that two seconds that that's what they'd sound like if they'd spoken to me
 
I remember way back when...
I felt bad, guilty even for d'loading the song because of MJ's feelings
of it being leaked. But dangit! The damage had been done by then.
I just HAD to have it! The beats are off the chain!

Sorry Boo! :blush:
 
The song was NOT written and composed by Michael Jackson!

Songwriters/Composers are:
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Ameen Daniels, Harvey Jay Mason
 
I like the song, but he had better songs. But you can feel the power that's behind this song! That's incredible. Every song sang by MIKE is the best!!!
