纪念Michael Jackson的单曲
《Better On The Other Side》(Michael Jackson Tribute)
下面这首歌就是一直把他当偶像尊敬的几位RNB界几位歌手共同为他写的。有The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher, Boyz II Men。连夜制作这首歌词向他致敬。歌词让人动容。虽然真的很不舍得他离开,但是像这首歌曲的意思一样:希望他在另一个世界过的更好!
[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
i'm gonna make a change, for once in my life it's gonna feel real good, gonna make a diference gonna make it right...
镜子里的那个人 我要将我的人生方式, 做一次改变, 真诚地做一个善良的人, 一个与众不同, 公正的人……
asi, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat this wind is blowingmy mind i see the kids in the streets, with not enought to eat who am ito be blind? pretending not to see their needs
当我,身着最爱的风衣, 酷酷地立起衣领, 我的心情飘飘欲仙。 但当我看到大街上的那群孩子, 他们还吃不饱饭, 我难道就这样无动于衷?
asummer disregard,a broken bottle top and a one man soul they followeach other on the wind ya' know 'cause they got nowhere to go that'swhy i want you to know
伪饰孩子们对你的需要, 就像无视一只破瓶一样忽视了灿烂的盛夏, 人的心灵如此? 大众都跟随了这种意识, 因除此以外,没有定向 所以我要你知道:
i'mstarting with the man in the mirror i'm asking him to change his waysand no message could have been any clearer if you wanna make the worlda better place take a look at yourself, and then make a change
我要从镜子中看到的那个人做起, 我要求改变他的人生态度, 这再也明白不过了, 只有这样这个世界才更美好
i'vebeen a victim of a selfish kind of love it's time that i realize thatthere are some with no home, not a nickel to loan could it be reallyme, pretending that they're not alone?
我也曾被这样的自私心伤害过, 因此我很清楚, 世上还有很多无家可归,贫困潦倒的人, 如果你是这样,你还会如此无动于衷么? 一条深深的鞭痕,打碎了谁的心? 失去了生命的希望……
awillow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart and a washed-out dreamthey follow the pattern of the wind ya' see 'cause they got no place tobe that's why i'm starting with me I’m starting with the man in themirror!
人们这种自私的思维模式仍根深蒂固, 因为还没有正确的人生态度影响他们, 这就是从我做起的原因, 从你在镜子中看到的那个人做起吧!
