北京时间2009年6月26日下午，迈克尔·杰克逊辞世。现在虽然再也听不到天王原音重现，但是他的巨星风范和魅力将永远成为流行歌坛的指标。为纪念这位流行天王，欧美众星连夜制作出来的向MJ致敬的歌曲Better On the Otherside。
[Diddy talking/Mario Winans background vocals]
I remember the first time i seen you moonwalk,
I believed I could do anything,
you made the world dance,
you made the music come to life
[Chris Brown - Chorus]
This the type of song that make the angels cry,
i look up in the sky and i wonder why?
why you had to go, go
I know its better on the other side,
you were chosen from the sky
never gon let you go, (The king, woah! - Polow da Don)
[The Game]
Who’s Michael Jackson,
Your Michael Jackson,
I’m Michael Jackson,
We all Michael Jackson,
I guess what I’m asking is everybody bow their head for a legend don’t breathe for a second,
now let the air out, grab the hand of somebody you care about,
so you can hear my message, my confession,
someone tell Usher, i seen the moonwalk, i guess the young thriller touched him, like he touched me, like he touched you,
so carry on his legacy, something i must do, so i trust you lighting candles, concrete visuals, me and my brothers listen to jackson 5 in the living room,
first thing i did when i heard was call puff,
cos him and Mike tried to stop the beef between us,
who was us? Me and fifty, that beef is dead, him and Mike Jackson gonna take us to the ledge.
[Chorus]
As I’m pouring out this liquor candles start to flicker,
when list (?) my air ones, MJ was my nigger.
Not the one that play ball, the one with the hollywood star,
and since i’m a hollywood star im gonna tell you my story,
never had a family that close, never see Barry Gordy walking through interscope,
just like me they always had Mike in a scope,
no matter what you say,
i’m gonna love him and he’s still dope,
let me take you back to 85 when i was in a zone, dancing for my momma thriller jacket with all the zippers on,
now i’m doing 90 bout to crash in this Aston,
listening to Outkast, I’m sorry Mrs Jackson
anything i can ever do to better you your son was our king so we wont Corretta you,
I’m writing this letter to all the Jackson kids, we all Jackson kids, time to let us through.
[Chorus w. Usher/Mario Winan background vocals]
[Diddy talking w. Mario Winan vocals]
People can say what they want to say about you,
but we gon' remember the miracles that you showed us,
Through your music, through your dance, through your
you were the one that made us all realise,
that we are the world,
you are the one that showed us we can moonwalk,
you gave us the beat, you gave us the rythm,
you gave us the soul,
through us your legacy lives,
we can't stop now, we wont stop now,
Mike Jackson
[Outro - Boys II Men]
This the kind of song to make the angels cry
look up in the sky, ask God why,
why, why, do we live and let it die |
