Bang bang, Shock dead, Everybody's

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

kill me
Do me, Sue me, Everybody do me
Kick me, Strike me, Don't U black
or white me
[Repeat Chorus]
Tell me what has become of my life,
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality,
Now! I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride, Oh
for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its
prophecy... Set me free
Skin head, Dead head, Everybody gone

Black man, Black mail, Throw your
brother in jail

Tell me what has become of my rights,
Am I invisible because U ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free
liberty now! I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with
a bad name, I can't believe this is the land from which I came
U know I do really hate to say it...
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'... He
wouldn't let this be, No no!

Beat me, Bash me, U can never trash
me
Hit me, Kick me, U can never get

Kick me, Strike me, Don't U wrong

Stranger
in Moscow
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson
I was wandering in the rain... (Mask
of life, Feelin' insane)
Swift and sudden fall from grace
(Sunny days seem far away)
Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me (Stalin's
tomb won't let me be)
On and on and on it came (Wish the
rain would just let me be)
How does it feel? (How does it feel)?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
When you're alone and you're cold
inside
Here abandoned in my fame (Armageddon
of the brain)
KGB was doggin' me (Take my name
and just let me be)
Then a beggar boy called my name
(Happy days will drown the pain)
On and on and on it came and again,
and again, and again...
(Take my name and just let me be)
How does it feel?� (Repeat 5
times)
(How does it feel now)?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
When you're alone and you're cold
inside
How does it feel? (Repeat 5 times)
(How does it feel now)?
How does it feel? How does it feel?
When you're alone and you're cold
inside
Like a stranger in Moscow! Like a
stranger in Moscow!
We're Talkin' danger! We're talkin'
danger baby!
Like a stranger in Moscow!
We're talkin' danger! We're talkin'
danger baby!
Like a stranger in Moscow!
I'm livin' lonely! I'm livin' lonely
baby!
A stranger in Moscow!
KGB interrogator-Russian to English
Translation:
"Why have U come from the West?
Confess! To steal the great achievements
of the people,
The accomplishments of the workers..."
THIS
TIME AROUND
Written by Michael Jackson
Composed by Dallas Austin, Bruce
Sweden and Rene Moore
This time around I'll never get bit...
Though U really wanna fix me
This time around you're making me
sick... Though U really wanna get me
Somebody's out... Somebody's out
to get me! They really wanna fix me, Hit me!
But this time around I'm taking
no shit... Though U really wanna get me
U really wanna get me!
[Chorus:]
He really thought... He really had...
Control of me
He really thought ... They thought
they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
control me
He really thought ... They thought
they really could control the man
This time around I'll never get bit...
Though U really wanna get me
This time around I'm taking no shit...
Though U really wanna fix me
Somebody's out... Somebody's out
to use me...
They really want to use me and then
falsely accuse me
This time around, They'll take it
like spit 'cause U really can't control me
U know U can't control me
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
Rap
Listen! I got problems of my own
They're flashing cameras... taps
on my phone
People in my home... I'm safe as
I should be
Things always missing... Maybe...
It could be my friend
They ain't friends if they're robbing
me
Stopping me from making the profit
scene
Apology... Shallow like the ocean...
I guess I was ought to control 'em
If I was that desperate to smoke...
I probably be by my mohsin
I'm a killer maker... I ain't joking
In those smoke that got me choking
my hope and my food come slipping
So I can blow 'em open
This time around, I changed up my
flow
Got really got rockslide pits by
the Doh's
I really said to people to watch
my back, Stay away from strangers
So away from slack... Now I know
that Mic
[Repeat Chorus]

Dom Sheldon is a cold man! Dom Sheldon

He out shock in every single way,
He'll stop at nothing just to get his political say
He think he's hot cause he's BSTA,
I bet he never had a social life anyway

I know his mother never taught him right anyway
He want your vote just to remain
TA, He don't do half what the say!

Dom Sheldon is a cold man! Dom Sheldon

Money
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson
Money... Money...Lie for it, Spy
for it, Kill for it, Die for it!
So U call it trust but I say it's
just, In the devil's game of greed and lust
They don't care; They'd do me for
the money
They don't care; They use me for
the money
So U go to church, Read the Holy
word, In the scheme of life it's all-absurd
They don't care They'd kill for
the money
Do or dare, The thrill for the money
You're saluting the flag, Your country
trusts U
Now you're wearing a badge, You're
called the "Just Few"
And you're fighting the wars...
A soldier must do
I'll never betray or deceive U my
friend but...
If U show me the cash, Then I will
take it
If U tell me to cry, Then I will
fake it
If U give me a hand, Then I will
shake it
You'll do anything for money...
[Chorus:]
Anything... Anything... Anything
for money!
Would lie for U! Would die for U!
Even sell my soul to the devil!
Anything... Anything... Anything
for money!
Would lie for U! Would die for U!
Even sell my soul to the devil!
Insurance? Where do your loyalties
lie?
Is that your alibi? I don't think
so
U don't care, You'd do her for the
money
Say it's fair, U sue her for the
money
Want your pot of gold, Need the
Midas touch
Bet U sell your soul cuz your God
is such
U don't care, U kill for the money
Do or dareThe thrill for the money
Are U infected with the same disease
of lust, gluttoney and greed?
Then watch the ones with the biggest
smiles
The idle jabbers...Cuz they're the
backstabbers
If U know it's a lie, Then U will
swear it
If U give it with guilt, Then U
will bear it
If it's taking a chance, Then U
will dare it
You'll do anything for money...
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
U say U wouldn't do it for all the
money in the world
I don't think so! If U show me the
man then I will sell him
If U ask me to lie then I will tell
him!
If you're dealing with God then
U will hell him!
You'll do anything for money!
[Repeat Chorus Till End]
Come

Written and composed by John Lennon
and Paul McCartney
Here come ol' flat top, He come groovin'

Holy Roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what

One thing I can tell U is U got

Come together... Right now! Over me!
He bag production, He's got walrus

He got feet down through his knees
Hold U in his armchair, U can feel

Come together babe! Come together

Got to be good looking 'cause he's

Come together... Right now! Over me!
U
ARE NOT ALONE
Written and composed by R. Kelly
Another day has gone... I'm still
all alone
How could this be? You're not here
with me!
U never said goodbye... Someone
tell me why?
Did U have to go and leave my world
so cold?
Everyday I sit and ask myself...
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and
says
[Chorus:]
U are not alone
For I am here with U
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
U are not alone
I am here with U
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
U are not alone
All alone...Why? oh
Just the other night... I thought
I heard you cry
Asking me to come and hold you in
my arms
I can hear your prayers... Your
burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand then
forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself...How
did love slip away?
Then something whispers in my ear
and says
[Repeat Chorus]
Whisper three words and I'll come
runnin'
And girl U know that I'll be there...
I'll be there!
[Repeat Chorus]
For I am here with you (I am here
with� U)
Though you're far away (Though you're
far away)
I am here to stay
For you are not alone (U are always
in my heart!)
For I am here with U
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For U are not alone
If U reach out for me girl... In
the morning... In the everning!
Not alone! Not alone! U and me not
alone!
Together... Together, Just stop
being alone! Just stop being alone!
CHILDHOOD
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson
Have U seen my childhood? I'm searching
for the world that I come from
Cause I've been looking around in
the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me! The view
it as such strange eccentricities...
Cause I keep kidding around like
a child, But pardon me...
People say I'm not okay... Cause
I love such elementary things...
It's been my fate to compensate
for the childhood... I've never known!
Have U seen my childhood? I'm searching
for that wonder in my youth
Like priates and adventurous dreams
of conquest and kings on the throne!
Before U judge me, Try hard to love
me!
Look within your heart then ask...
Have U seen my childhood?
People say I'm strange that way cause
I love such elementry things...
It's been my fate to compensate
for the childhood... I've never known!
Have U seen my childhood? I'm searching
for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share,
The dreams I would dare, Watch me fly!
Before U judge me, Try hard to love
me! The painful youth I've had!
Have U seen my childhood?
Tabloid
Junkie
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson, James Harris ||| and Terry Lewis
Speculate... To break the one U hate
Circulate... The lie U confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate... The
hounding media in hysteria
Who's the next for U to resurrect?
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told the grassy knoll...
The blackmail story in all your glory
It's Slander! U say it's not a sword
but with your pen U torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And U don't have to read it!(read
it) And U don't have to eat it!(eat it)
To buy it is to feed it!(feed it)
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
[Chorus:]
Just because U read it in a magazine
or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual... Though
everybody wants to read all about it
Just because U read it in a magazine
or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, Actual... They say he's homosexual!
In the hood... Frame him if U could
Shoot to kill... To blame him if
U will
If he dies... Sympathize such false
witnesses, Damn self righteousness!
In the black...Stab me in the back!
In the face...To lie and shame the
race!
Heroine and Marilyn... The headline
stories of all your glory
It's slander! With the words U use
You're a parasite in black and white...
Do anything for news!
If U don't go and buy it!(buy it)
Then they won't glorify it!(glorify it)
To read it sanctifies it!(sanctifies
it)
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't make it factual! See, But
everybody wants to believe all about it!
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't make it factual, Actual...
She's blonde and she's bisexual!
Scandal, With the words U use!
If U don't go and buy it!(buy it)
Then they won't glorify it!(glorify it)
To read it sanctifies it!(sanctifies
it)
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
Slander, U say it's not a sin but
with your pen you torture men
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't make it factual! See, But
everybody wants to believe all about it
[Repeat Chorus]
Don't make it factual, Actual...
You're so damn disrespectable!

BAD
Written by Michael Jackson, Composed
by Bruce Sweden, Rene Moore and Dallas Austin
Told me that you're doin' wrong,
Word out shockin' all alone!
Cryin' wolf ain't like a man, Throwin'
rocks to hide your hands!
U ain't done enough for me... U
ain't done enough for me
U are disgustin' me, Yeah yeah!
You're aiming just for me! U are
disgustin' me... Just want your cut from me!
But too bad! Too bad!
Look who just walked in the place,
Dead and stuffy in the face
Look who's standing if U please,
Though... U tried to bring me to my knees
[Chorus:]
Too bad too bad about it! Why don't
U scream and shout it?
Too bad too bad about it! Why don't
U scream and shout it?
Too bad too bad about it! Why don't
U scream and shout it?
Too bad too bad about it! Why don't
U scream and shout it?
Hell all up in Hollywood, Sayin'
that U got it good
Creepin' from a dusty hole, Tales
of what somebody told
What do U want from me? What do
U want from me?
Tired of U haunting me, Yeah yeah!
You're aiming just for me, U are
disgustin' me
U got blood lust for me but too
bad too bad!
Look who got slapped in the face,
It's dead and stuffy in the place
I'm right back where I wanna be,
I'm standin' though you're kickin' me
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
(Rap: Shaquille O'Neal)
Life's about a dream
I'm really undefeated when MJ is
on my team, theme
Reality brings forth realizm
It's the man of steel organizm,
Twizm
Not from the prizm, take charge
like manilla
Nine five Shaq represent with the
Thrilla
Grab my crotch, twist my knee, then
I'm through
Mike's bad! I'm bad, Who are U?
(Michael)
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
Too bad too bad about it!
HISTORY
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson, James Harris and Terry Lewis
He got kicked in the back, He say
that he needed that
He hot willed in the face, Keep
daring to motivate
He say one day U will see, His place
in world history
He dares to be recognized, The fires
deep in his eyes
How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there
be
Before we choose to live the prophet's
plan
Everybody sing...
[Chorus:]
Every day create your history...
Every path U take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory...
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Don't let no one get U down, Keep
movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until, U are the king
of the hill
No force of nature can break, Your
will to self motivate
She say this face that U see...
Is destined for history
How many people have to cry
The song of pain and grief across
the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing
hand
Everybody sing...
[Repeat Chorus]
Every day create your history...
Every page U turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry...
Every child should sing together in harmony
All nations sing... Let's harmonize all around the world
How many victims must there be...
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
before we learn to live as brothers
And create one family oh...
[Repeat Chorus]
Every day create your history...
Every page U turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry...
Every child should sing together in harmony
A soldier dies...A mother cries
The promised child shines in a baby's
eyes
All nations sing... Let's harmonize
all around the world
LITTLE
SUSIE
Written and composed by Michael
Jackson
Somebody killed little Susie... The
girl with the tune, Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming, Beating
her voice in her doom but nobody came to her soon...
A fall down the stairs, Her dress
torn
Oh the blood in her hair... A mystery
so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned
so slenderly
Lift her with care... Oh the blood
in her hair...
Everyone came to see, The girl that
now is dead, So blind stare the eyes in her head...
And suddenly a voice from the crowd
said:
"This girl lived in vain her face
bear such agony, such strain!"
But only the man from next door
knew Little Susie and how he cried
As he reached down, To close Susie's
eyes...
She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned
so slenderly
Lift her with care... Oh the blood
in hair...
It was all for God's sake, For her
singing the tune... For someone to feel her despair!
To be damned to know hoping is dead
and you're doomed
Then to scream out and nobody's
there... She knew no one cared...
Father left home, Poor mother died
leaving Susie alone
Grandfather's soul too had flown...
No one to care Just to love her,
How much can one bear?
Rejecting the needs in her prayers...
Neglection can kill, Like a knife
in your soul
Oh it will! But Susie fought so
hard to live...
She lie there so tenderly, Fashioned
so slenderly
Lift her with care, So young and
so fair...
SMILE
Written by John Turner and Geoffrey
Parsons
Composed by Charlie Chaplin
Smile... Though your heart is aching!
Smile... Even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If U smile With your fear and sorrow...
Smile and maybe tomorrow...
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness...
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near...
That's the time U must keep on trying
Smile... What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you'll just...
Smile... Though your heart is aching!
Smile... Even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If U smile With your fear and sorrow...
Smile and maybe tomorrow...
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you'll just...
That's the time... U must keep on
trying
Smile... What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you'll just Smile!
