PREF1X Lyrics

They say that things just cannot grow
Some people claim that growth is impossible

Beneath the winters snow
During the seasons with cold and harsh weather

Or so I have been told
This is what I have been informed of

I first met your voice one summer I was 8
I heard your sound for the first time when I was a young child

Dancing in my Ninja Turtle underwear at 8
I was enjoying and expressing myself in my own way regardless of how I was dressed

In the morning when I heard the radio play
When I woke up and heard the radio broadcasting music

Beat It remixed by the dj of the day
The song Beat It was modified by the radio disc jockey of that time

Yo it gave me chills the first time I listened to Thriller
Wow, Thriller gave me goosebumps when I first heard it

Listening to it now I can feel them they're still there
I can still feel those chills when I hear the song now

The album was a significant pillar
The album was an important and influential aspect

The King of Pop has risen I can feel that your still here
I sense the spirit and legacy of the King of Pop, as if he is still present

Before Nas had his one love, Mike Jack had his one glove
Michael Jackson was renowned for his iconic single glove before Nas' love anthem became popular

The smoothest of criminals, The use of a little
Michael Jackson was known as the suavest of outlaws, and incorporated small movements and gestures into his performances for originality

Choreography proved you could do it original
Michael Jackson showed that you could be creative by choreographing your own dance moves

You got a lot of bad rep for stuff that I didn't understand
You received a lot of negative criticism for things that I couldn't comprehend

But from a fan's stand point now I understand
As a fan, I can now comprehend and empathize with some of the hardships you endured

It's easy, to point the finger at another man
It's simple to blame someone else for a situation

So it was pointed at you by the other man
Others put the blame on you

They say we're buried far
Some people think we are hidden and inaccessible

Just like a Distant Star
Similar to stars that seem far away and unattainable

I simply cannot hold
I am unable to process or contain these feelings

What more can I say to you Michael J. Jackson,
What other words can I express to you, Michael J. Jackson?

You were like Michael Bay the way you brought the action by dancin'
Your dance moves were as impactful and stimulating as Michael Bay's movies

By the age 12 you were frantic
At such a young age, you were already overwhelmed and distressed

You had a million fans but still felt abandoned
Even though you had a large number of supporters, you still experienced feelings of neglect

And Joe Jack didn't help it by standin'
Joe Jackson did not ease the situation by just watching

Watchin' you rehearse with a belt in hand
Observing you practice, prepared to physically discipline you if you made mistakes

For when you mess up. He was so quick to use it.
As soon as you made an error, he was very prompt in using physical punishment

Sounds like a difficult way to make your music
It sounds like a very challenging way to create and express music

Your melodies gave me great amusement
Your tunes brought me a lot of joy and entertainment

But it's hard to have a famous face when you hate the way you view it;
It's difficult to have a well-known persona when you despise the way you look

So I don't blame you for the changes you've
Therefore, I do not hold you accountable for modifying your appearance

Made your face go through
For changing the image of your face

I've embraced the faces of you
I have accepted all versions of you

Each one's representing different fazes of you.
Each one represents a varying stage of your life

It would be amazing to explain it to you,
It would be incredible to be able to clarify this to you

But I can't so I'll send you a prayer
However, since I am unable to do so, I will send a prayer for you

And every time I write now I'll pretend you are here.
From now on, I will imagine your presence everytime I write anything

It opens up scars when stars meet the pressure.
When celebrities face pressure, it reopens old wounds and pains

Even Heath couldn't read between the ledgers.
Even Heath Ledger was unable to cope with the overwhelming difficulties he faced

He just wanted to sleep. Now he sleeps forever.
All he wanted was to rest, and now he has passed away

Some may you both are. Ip. Together.
Perhaps, you are both now together in the afterlife

Ed Mcmahon is up there now to give a big hand.
Ed McMahon is now in heaven, applauding these stars

He is funny, but it's not funny how this is man.
Ed McMahon was humorous in life, but death is not a laughing matter

It's not fair at all, so may my tears and droplets
This situation is unjust, so I cry and hope that my tears can express my emotions

Fall through the nozzles of this Farrah Fawcett.
I hope these droplets of sadness can reach Farrah Fawcett

This prison you live in won't let you leave
The circumstances you are stuck in prevent you from escaping

It took a cardiac arrest to set you free
It required a heart attack to release you from the prison of life

Thankyou for the records that you left for me.
I appreciate and thank you for the music you created and left for me and others to enjoy

May you trade in your red jacket for a set of wings
I hope you can exchange your iconic red jacket for a pair of wings in the afterlife

Michael Jackson, more than a popular name.
Your legacy and impact will continue, you are more than just a famous name

You're an influence of whom knew not what you made
You impacted and inspired people who were unaware of how much you affected them

Now sharin' a spot with 2pac in his place.
You are now in 2pac's company in heaven

Too fly, you probably moonwalk through the gates.
You are so cool that you probably moonwalked your way through the gates of heaven

You're amongst of the greats.
You are alongside other great legends

This is the passing of an icon.
This is the transition of a historic and revered figure

No more flashing of your icons.
There will be no more showing of your iconic images
