Is It Scary / Threatened
Michael Jackson & Rockwell [feat. 50 Cent] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crafted by magical hands
Older than time it'self
Its pages are filled with darkness
And mystery
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul beneath the bed
Now it's climbing up the stairs
There's a spirit in the dark
Hear the beating of his heart
Can you feel it in the air?
'Cause they're hiding everywhere (A-a-a-hhh)
Is that scary for you, baby
Am I scary for you, boy
Is it scary for you, baby
Is it scary for you
You know the stranger is you
Is it scary for you, baby
(Whispering and breathing) sorceryillusions
There's a creaking on the floor
There's a creep behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghastly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin nearly open
Where a restless soul is pokin'
I am gonna be exactly what you gonna see
So did you come to me to see your fantasies
Perform before your very eyes
A haunting ghostly treat
The ghoulish trickery
And spirit's dancing in the night
But, if you came to see the truth, the purity
It's here inside a lonely heart
So let the performance start
I, I, I, I, I always feel
I, I, I, I, I - Somebody's watching me
I, I, I, I, I always feel
I, I, I, I, I - Somebody's watching me
I, I, I, I, I always feel i, I
I always feel like somebody's watching me
A nightmare, that's the case
Never Never Land, that's the place
A monster, that you can see disappear
A monster, the worst thing you could fear
All hail, the king has risen
All hail, hail, the king, hail
The king has risen
All hail, the king, king, king, king, king
The king has risen
All hail, the king, king, king, king
The king has risen
You're by yourself
But it's my touch you felt
I'm not a ghost from Hell
But, I've got a spell on you
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened
Why you sleep, why you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks to me
Threatened half of me you'll never be
So you should feel threatened by me
(Ooh hoo, come on, baby)
You should be watching me
You should feel threatened (yeah)
Why you sleep, why you creep
You should be threatened
Every time your lady speaks she speaks to me
Threatened half of me you'll never be
So you should feel threatened by me
(The king has risen)
What you have just witnessed could be the
End of a particularly terrifying nightmare
It isn't - it's the beginning
In "Who Is It", Michael Jackson sings about a broken heart and betrayal. He remembers all the things he gave his loved one, including money, time, passion, promises, and secrets. She promised to love him forever, but then she left without explanation, leaving him feeling lonely and used. He wonders if she found someone else and who that person could be. He repeats the questions "Who is it?" throughout the song, emphasizing his confusion and desperation for answers. Jackson sings about feeling like he's the damned, dead, and agony inside the dying head, referring to the pain he's experiencing from the breakup.
These lyrics appear to be about a romantic relationship gone wrong, but it's possible that they're also related to Jackson's struggles with the media and constant rumors and scandals that plagued his personal life. Jackson was known for his charitable donations and big-heartedness, but he also faced accusations of child molestation and financial mismanagement. It's possible that the song is a reflection of his feelings about being betrayed by someone close to him, whether that's a lover or a friend.

And she promised me in secret
She made private promises to me
That she'd love me for all the time
She vowed to love me for a lifetime
It's a promise so untrue
Her promise was false
Tell me what will I do ?
I am questioning what steps I should take next
And it doesn't seem to matter
No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to make a difference
And it doesn't seem right
My situation doesn't feel fair
'Cause the will has brought
Despite my effort, there was no favorable outcome
No fortune
I have not experienced any luck in this situation
Still I cry alone at night
I am emotionally affected by the situation and cry when no one is around
Don't you judge of my composure
Please do not make assumptions about my emotional state
'Cause I'm lying to myself
I am lying about how I really feel
And the reason why she left me
I am trying to comprehend why she ended our relationship
Did she find someone else ?
I am wondering if she left me for someone else
(Who is it ?)
I am questioning the identity of the person who hurt me
It is a friend of mine
The person who hurt me is someone I considered to be a friend
Is it my brother ?
I am considering the possibility that my brother is the one who hurt me
Somebody hurt my soul
My emotions and spirit have been damaged by someone's actions
I can't take this stuff no more
I am struggling to cope with the situation
I am the damned
I am cursed by this situation
I am the dead
I am emotionally dead
I am the agony inside
I am experiencing intense emotional pain
The dying head
I feel like I am dying inside
This is injustice
I am experiencing unfair treatment
Woe unto thee
Woe will come upon the person who caused my pain
I pray this punishment
I hope this situation brings some sort of retribution
Would have mercy on me
I hope that I receive compassion in this situation
And she promised me forever
She promised me a lifetime of commitment
That we'd live our life as one
We planned to share our lives together
We'd live a love so true
We would have an authentic and genuine relationship
It seems that she has left me
She appears to have ended our relationship
For such reasons unexplained
I don't understand why she ended things
I need to find the truth
I am searching for answers
To me I'm bothered
I am deeply troubled by this situation
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely
I am struggling with feelings of loneliness
She just up and ran away
She abruptly ended our relationship and left without explanation
