Wanna be right where you are...
Is My FAVOURITE M.J./Jackson 5 Song....
Apologize for not having consistant blog posts.......I realize i'm also late on the M.J. post....But ya'll don't even know how hard his death has been on me...mind you June 25th was my last day with the kids I had been working with...I lost my cell phone that day....came home and things just went completely down hill when I turned on the t.v. and heard about his death (mind u when peeps kept texting me...I didn't take it in)
Upon thinking about what I could post in order to honor one of the greatest to every do it....I sat there listening to K-OS' Album "JOYFUL REBELLION"....I rotate that album heavy not only because it's a classic but also because every time I listen
to it I gain a new perspective.....
Anyway I know some of ya'll still ain't hip to K-OS's genius...but I feel he channeled M.J. and I can bet a million bucks he grew up listening to him as well...I had to post this track in honour of MICHAEL JACKSON...
(Couldn't find the original video sorry)
I tried it, I couldn't fight it
Now I just wanna get back to me
ohh baby, hoo hoo
Back into the man I used to be
Things that I said I wouldn't do, I did 'em
Secrets below the surface of truth I hid 'em
This man kind is past, but can he erase
The tears of a million years is human race
Of animals, that talk and walk upright
Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night
Roamin the planet, trying to find missing links
Like the men we used to be and are we suppose to think?
Mysteries, maybe not
It's getting hot, we better configure the plot, but
I hold a pen with the grip so tight
That'a squeeze the ink onto the page, and write a song for the people
Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound
This microphone, like an an amphetamine
Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams
So nature can intervene, just for a scene
I walk a long path alone, my feet hurt
Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt
I went to church, I tried everything
From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing
For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers
I've been across the universe and inside of flowers
But what is it worth, i'm still just a man on the earth
Rappers are acting like man tan
Can I be candid, I can't stand it
Rap bandit, got heaven acting frantic
I wanna swing my sword decapitate
But what is a man if he acts like an ape
So I sit back, planning my great escape
Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate
The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me
So what is reality, I don't know
You know what
I woke up in the morning
I took a trip to the corner store
That's when I heard my calling
But i'd never heard the voice of truth before
So I kept on walking
Pretending I didn't see
Walked by a window and my reflection said to me
You could try all the same
But you'll never know this mystery
There's no pilot on your plane
So you're not the man you used to be
Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery
When your pilot has no plane
Said you're the man you used to be seen...
Holla and ya holla, you follow you fall
I really think Michael would have felt this song....espacially the lyrics....
I remember when I was real young my dad had this music room and on the walls were all these posters of artists at the age of 4 I had no idea how great they were....The poster of M.J. really stood out and I can still see it clearly in my mind.....My pops didn't read books to me and my siblings...he read us song lyrics....and ofcourse he used some of M.J.'s songs......
The local radio station played a tribute the next morning after his death....as I was getting my daughter ready for daycare....I just froze for a moment listening to the tribute....I think that was the moment where it really sunk in........I hadn't shed a tear for a artist since Aaliyah...As much as ppl tried to bring him down....can't ya'll see what he shared with us is TIMELESS.....Not only is where you go after you leave this Earth, important....so is the lives you touched and the reaction of death.........M.J's fans are living proof of how GREAT he is....
