Let's fast-forward to the nineties for a while! Time to "Scream" with Janet & Michael Jackson. I've always loved Janet and you will hear more of her later. I've also loved his brother's music. I will not comment on the accusations made against him. I have my opinion but it doesn't really belong here.
All of us feel like screaming sometimes. And one very dear to me, feels this way about right now. I feel the same way, because of what happened to her. Sometimes we just wanna scream and put things and people to pieces for how they've treated, how they've hurt and abused us. But in the end, if we would start doing that each time it happens - we'd have a long list ahead and no time to do anything else. So, in the end we need to take a deep breath and ask ourselves if it's worth it. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. People who get abused and hurt the most, usually trust people a bit more, they really believe in the goodness, unselfishness, frankness, integrity and above all, honesty of other people.
This may be a pessimistic view, but what I've experienced in my life is that, not that many people can be trusted. And not that many people will go the extra mile for you. Not that many people care. Mostly people do things to gain something in return, they focus on themselves, their needs. Like "having it all" is something great and worth fighting for in the expense of everything else. There is a price to everything in life - and it seems that to some people even loving is a sacrifice. Those are the saddest people 'cos they aren't learning the most important lesson of life. The essence of everything is love.
I plead you to think about those who try to make it easier for you, who try to protect you, who love you and give themselves to you - who stick around even when things aren't perfect and don't go your way. The ones that help you to pick up the pieces - they are the ones that really love you. To them, you don't need to scream, you can just whisper and they'll hear you.
I dedicate this video to all the people who has ever experienced real heartache, hardship, betrayal caused by someone they trusted, no matter if it's a system or a person. I especially dedicate it to my dear friend who is down, angry and struggling at the moment. I want to remind you all that there are still those who truly care and with their help, you will make it. No matter how many times you have to climb that mountain back up, you will make it. Peace and love.
Here are the lyrics to "Scream":
Tired of injustice/ Tired of the schemes/ The lies are disgusting/ So what does it mean
Kicking me down/ I got to get up/ As jacked as it sounds/ The whole system sucks
Peek in the shadow/ Come into the light/ You tell me I’m wrong/ Then you better prove you’re right
You’re sellin’ out souls but/ I care about mine/ I’ve got to get stronger/ And I won’t give up the fight
With such confusions don’t it make you wanna scream/ Your bash abusin’ victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize/ Somebody please have mercy ’cause I just can’t take it
Stop pressurin’ me/ Just stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ me/ Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me/ Just stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ me/ Make you just wanna scream
Tired of you tellin’ the story your way/ It’s causin’ confusion/ You think it’s okay
You keep changin’ the rules/ While I keep playin’ the game/ I can’t take it much longer/ I think I might go insane
With such confusion don’t it make you wanna scream/ Your bash abusin’ victimize within the scheme
You find your pleasure scandalizin’ every lie/ Oh father, please have mercy ’cause I just can’t take it
Stop pressurin’ me/ Just stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ me/ Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ me/ Just stop pressurin’ me/ Stop fuckin’ with me/ Make me wanna scream
Oh my god, can’t believe what I saw/ As I turned on the tv this evening/ I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice/ all the injustice"
Spoken:
"a man has been brutally beaten to death by police after being wrongly identified as a robbery suspect. the man was an 18 year old black male..."
With such collusions don’t it make you wanna scream/ Your bash abusin’ victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize/ Oh brother please have mercy’cause I just can’t take it
Stop pressurin’ mejust stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ memake me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ mejust stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ memake me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ mejust stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ memake me wanna scream
Stop pressurin’ mejust stop pressurin’ me/ Stop pressurin’ memake me wanna scream
