Why You Wanna Trip On Me Lyrics
They say I'm different,
But they don't understand,
That there's a bigger problem,
That's much more in demand.
We're got world hunger,
Not enough to eat,
So there's really no time to be,
Tripping on me.
We're got school teachers,
Who don't wanna teach,
We've got gang violence,
And bloodshed on the street,
We're got homeless people,
With nothing to eat,
With no clothes on their back,
And no shoes on their feet.
We've got drug addiction,
In the minds of the weak.
We've got so much corruption,
Police brutality.
We're got street walkers,
Walking into darkness.
Tell me what are we doing,
Trying to stop this.

Why You Wanna Trip On Me
(repeat numerous times in various forms)
But they don't understand,
That there's a bigger problem,
That's much more in demand.
Not enough to eat,
So there's really no time to be,
Tripping on me.
Who don't wanna teach,
We've got gang violence,
And bloodshed on the street,
We're got homeless people,
With nothing to eat,
With no clothes on their back,
And no shoes on their feet.
In the minds of the weak.
We've got so much corruption,
Police brutality.
We're got street walkers,
Walking into darkness.
Tell me what are we doing,
Trying to stop this.

Michael is annoyed about why there is so much attention and focus on his life when there are so many problems in the world that need solving. He's basically saying, "Leave me alone and concentrate on what really matters".
I LOVE the rythem of this song. And the way Michael sings it is beautiful. Yet another great song!
Great song by the King of Pop.
He's saying "there are so many other things going on... why are you bothering me for?"
No brainer here.
All the problems in the world, why are you taking time to make fun of me?
This song is fantastic, and I absolutely love Michael Jackson. But the lyrics are completely wrong?!
the song mean there are other problems in the world its affected the world. but they intend on doing nothing they keep on saying crap about him and trippin on him when there are other things that are more important
he's telling people to stop worrying about him so much when they are bigger problems in the world!
