You’ve heard the song, now check out the video!
Last week, The Game got together with Sean “Diddy” Combs and Chris Brown to record “Better on the Other Side,” a tribute to music legend Michael Jackson.
And now Game has released an official video for the song.
The clip, which intercuts footage from the recording of the song with scenes of Jackson’s fans celebrating his life, ends with Game showing his new tattoo of the “Thriller” singer, sporting his signature fedora-and-mask look.
Check out the video and have your say in the comments section: Is this a fitting tribute to Michael Jackson?
this song is off the hook. may MJ soul rest in peace. i guess it is really better on the other side.
Michaels Story
His childhood was forsaken
Fame and fortune was a must
No school or normal pastimes
Into the limelight he was thrust
From those who claimed to love him
To those who loved to hate
They couldn’t see the lost child
Who’s talent would be his fate
He gave us so much pleasure
A star, a real icon
He rearranged the music
A new era had it’s dawn
He changed the path of lyric
Made the world his dancing stage
But in his niaevete
His critics he did enrage
Lost and lonely in his own world
Normality just a wish
He created a place of love
Where pain would be banished
But every act of love and grace
This man-child did bestow
Was tainted by the people
Who would mar his very soul
His life was bared before us
Every move on view to see
The jibes and comments hurt him
Left him broken, no self esteem
They hounded and they cut him
Left him bleeding in the road
Misunderstood and innocent
They added to the load
He faced them with so much courage
A warrior of grit and steel
He played to them and gave them
What they didn’t want to hear
An extravaganza
A new sight to behold
The comeback he so yearned for
So brave and very bold
But God he had a new plan
A place of gentle rest
For this soul He loved so dearly
And wanted just to bless
So as in life, he left us
Softly, didn’t make a sound
Just gently moonwalked from the room
To where angels are around
Then the great big heart stopped beating
Rhythmic feet will dance no more
A unique voice stilled forever
His soul now free to soar
Happiness was elusive
Contentment just a dream
But now the man-child is dancing
In heavens playing fields.

lovely poem. Michael would have appreciated it.
‘Why Do People Wait’
Why do people wait until one is dead
To tell them things they’ve wanted to but never said?
Why do they wait until its too late
To think of ways to communicate?
Why do they wait to reach out and touch
And show that they loved them so very much?
Why do people wait until one cannot hear
To tell them they were cherished and always very dear?
Why do they say good things when one is dead
Things they’ll never know were said?
Why do they wait to read a eulogy
When everyday to someone near they can a euphony?
Why not make someone’s day- find something nice to say
Don’t wait until its too late.
R.I.P Michael : You are always in our hearts.
