“Black Or White”
Featuring L.T.B. & Slash Written and Composed By Michael Jackson Rap Lyrics by Bill Bottrell
I took my baby
On a saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we’re one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’reBlack or white
They print my message
In the saturday sun
I had to tell them
I ain’t second to none
And I told about equality
An it’s true
Either you’re wrong
Or you’re right
But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain’t scared of
Your brother
I ain’t scared of no sheets
I ain’t scared of nobody
Girl when the
Goin’ gets mean
(L.T.B)
Protection
For gangs, clubs,
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
It’s a turf war
On a global scale
I’d rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, it’s not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
I’ve seen the bright
Get duller
I’m not going to spend
My life being a color
Don’t tell me you agree
With me
When I saw you
Kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white
I said if
You’re thinkin’ of
Being my baby
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white
I said if
You’re thinkin’ of
Being my brother
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for them
To get by
It’s black , it’s white, whoo
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for them
To get by
It’s black , it’s white, whoo
“Heal The World”
Written and Composed by Michael Jackson
There’s a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need
To cry
In this place you’ll feel
There’s no hurt or sorrow
There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place…
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There’s a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of
Joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and
Start living
Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for
Us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world…
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
And the dream we were
Conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we
Once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep
Strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it’s plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God’s glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all
My brothers
Create a world with
No fear
Together we cry
Happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords
Into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough
For the living
Make a little space
To make a better place…
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
“Remember The Time”
Written and Composed by Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson and Bernard Bell.
Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were so young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember
Back in the fall
We’d be together
All day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each other’s eyes
We’d stare
(Tell me)
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk (ya know)
We’d stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
I’ll never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They’ll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Remember the times
Ooh
Remember the times
Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in Spain
Remember the times
What about, what about…
Remember the times
Ooh… In the park
Remember the times
After dark… Do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Yeah yeah
“Jam”
Featuring Heavy D Song and Lyrics written by Michael Jackson. Music by Rene Moore, Bruce Swedien, Michael Jackson, and Teddy Riley.
Nation to nation
All the world
Must come together
Face the problems
That we see
Then maybe somehow we can work it out
I asked my neighbor
For a favor
She said later
What has come of
All the people
Have we lost love
Of what it’s about height=”349″ alt=”Jam”>
I have to find my peace cuz
No one seems to let me be
False prophets cry of doom
What are the possibilities
I told my brother
There’ll be problems,
Times and tears for fears,
We must live each day
Like it’s the last
Go with it
Go with it
Jam
It ain’t too much stuff
It ain’t too much
It ain’t too much for me to
Jam
It ain’t too much stuff
It ain’t
Don’t you
It ain’t too much for me to
The world keeps changing
Rearranging minds
And thoughts
Predictions fly of doom
The baby boom
Has come of age
We’ll work it out
I told my brothers
Don’t you ask me
For no favors
I’m conditioned by
The system
Don’t you talk to me
Don’t scream and shout
She pray to God, to Buddha
Then she sings a
Talmud song
Confusions contradict
The self
Do we know right
From wrong
I just want you to
Recognize me
I’m the temple
You can’t hurt me
I found peace
Within myself
Go with it
Go with it
Jam
It ain’t too much stuff
It ain’t too much
It ain’t too much for me to

Jam jam
Here comes the man
Hot damn
The big boy stands
Movin’ up a hand
Makin’ funky tracks
With my man
Michael Jackson
Smooth Criminal
That’s the man
Mike’s so relaxed
Mingle mingle jingle
In the jungle
Bum rushed the door
3 and 4’s in a bundle
Execute the plan
First I cooled like a fan
Got with Janet
Then with guy
Now with Michael
Cause it ain’t hard to…

“Dangerous”
Written and Composed by Michael Jackson, Bill Bottrell and Teddy
The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl
The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion
As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust
The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous
I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
She said don’t you pretend we didn’t
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
And left me standing alone
She’s so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you’re no damn good for me
She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return
Deep in the darkness of
Passion’s insanity
I felt taken by lust’s
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous
I never knew
But I was living in vain
She called my house
And said you know my name
And don’t you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
My baby walked out the door
She’s so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you’re no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to God
‘Cause I know how
Lust can blind
It’s a passion in my soul
But you’re no damn lover
Friend of mine
And then it happened
She touched me
For the lips of
A strange woman
Drop as a honeycomb
And her mouth was
Smoother than oil
But her inner spirit and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
‘Cause it’s dangerous
I Cannot sleep alone tonight
My baby left me here tonight
I cannot cope ’til it’s all right
You and your manipulation
You hurt my baby
She’s so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you’re no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you’re no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you’re no damn good for me
Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to God
‘Cause I know how
Lust can blind
It’s a passion in my soul
But you’re no damn lover
Friend of mine
