Shout

Written And Composed by Michael Jackson


Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces,
And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons,
And enrolled in a class and dont know who the professor is,
How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things,
Kids are murdering other kids for the fun of it,
Instead of using their mind or their fist, they put a gun in it
Wanna be a part of a clique, dont know whos running it,
Tragedy on top of tragedy you know its killing me.
So many people in agony, this shouldnt have to be,
Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty,
There has to be some type of change for this day and age,
We gotta rearrange and flip the page,
Living encaged like animals and cannibals,
Eating each other alive just to survive the nine to five,
Every single day is trouble while we struggle and strive
Peace of minds so hard to find.

Chorus:
I wanna shout, throw my hands up and shout
Whats this madness all about
All this makes me wanna shout
You know it makes me wanna shout,
Throw my hands up and shout
Whats this madness all about
All this makes me wanna shout, cmon now

Verse 2:
Problems, complications and accusations
Dividing the nations and races of empty faces
A war is taking place.
No substitution for restitution, the only solution for peace
Is increasing the height of your spirituality.
Masses of minds are shrouded, clouded visions
Deceptions and indecision, no faith or religion, how were living.
The clock is ticking, the end is coming, therell be no warning,
But will we live to see the dawn.

Bridge:
How can we preach, when all we make this world to be
Is a living hell torturing our minds.
We all must unite, to turn darkness to light,
And the love in our hearts will shine.

Verse 3:
Were disconnected from love, were disrespecting each other
Whatever happened to protecting each other
Poisoned your body and your soul for a minute of pleasure,
But the damage that youve done is gonna last forever.
Babies being born in the world already drug addicted and afflicted,
Family values are contradicted.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the pressure is building and Ive had enough.
