Prince, Paris and Blanket - Grammy 2010

(Michael) Tired of
injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean

Kicking me down I got to get

The whole system sucks

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

People say I'm not okay

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates and adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...
Before you judge me,
try hard to love me,
