/THREAD/ #HIStory25. Such a great album about rage, about love and disillusionment, about a system that was more than ready to frame a man for profit. why is HIStory worth remembering and celebrating? Because it's so VERY actual. MJ is still here - He ain't going anywhere. 1/15

I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice"

"Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you 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"
(They Don't Care About Us) 3/15

"Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
Kgb was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be"
(Stranger in Moscow) 4/15

"Somebody's out
Somebody's out to use me
They really want to use me
And then falsely accuse me
Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
Things always missin'
Maybe it could be my friends
They ain't friends if they robbin' me"
(This Time Around) 5/15

"Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far"
(Earth Song) 6/15

"They want to get my ass
Dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me down by surprise
I bet he missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say
You think he brother with the KKK?
I know his mother never taught him right anyway"
(D.S.) 7/15

Want your pot of gold
Need the Midas touch
Bet you sell your soul
'Cause your God is such
Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttony and greed?
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers
'Cause they're the backstabbers"
(Money) 8/15

"He wear no shoeshine
He's got toe jam football
He's got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free"
(Come Together - by The Beatles) 9/15

"But you are not alone
And I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart"
(You're Not Alone) 10/15

"People say I'm strange that way
'Cause I love such elementary things
It's been my fate to compensate
For the childhood I've never known"
(Childhood) 11/15

"In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you 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
The headline stories of
All your glory"
(Tabloid Junkie) 11/15

"What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
Tired of you haunting me, yeah yeah
You're aiming just for me
You are disgustin' me
You got blood lust for me
But too bad, too bad"
(2Bad) 12/15

"Don't let no one get you down
Keep movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history"
(History) 13/15

"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"
(Little Susie) 14/15

"If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"
(Smile) 15/15
