Michael Jackson - We've Had Enough

Written by Michael with Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels and Carole Bayer Sager, and featured on his box-set, The Ultimate Collection, issued in November 2004.

It was originally rumoured to be a duet by Michael and his sister Janet, about the way the media mistreated Michael and his family.

We’ve Had Enough - Lyrics

Love was taken from a young live
And no one told her why
Her direction has a dimlight
From one more violent crime
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue
How is it that you get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did god told you you could decide?
You saw he didn't run
And then my daddy had no gun

In the middle of the village
Within a distant land
Lies a cool boy with his broken toy
To young to understand
He's awaken, ground is shaking
His father grabs his hand
Screaming crying, his wife's dying
Now he's left to explain
He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had to die
Why did these soldiers come here for?
If they're for peace why is there war?
Did god say that they could decide
Who will live and who will die?
All my mama ever did
Was try to take care of her kids

When innocence is standing by
Watching people loosing lives
It seem as if we have no voice
It's time for us to make a choice

Only god could decide
Who will live and who will die
There's nothing that can't be done
If we raise our voice as one

Did god hear it from me?
Did god hear it from you?
Did god hear it from us?

We can't take it
We've already had enough

Did god hear it from me?
Did god hear it from you?
Did god hear it from us?

We can't take it
We've already had enough

Thank god I care for me
Thank god I care for you
Thank god it came from you babe

We can't take it
We've already had enough

Deep in my soul baby
Deep in your soul and by your side
Deep in my soul
It's so big and i'm still alive
Did god hear it from us?
We can't take it
We've already had enough
It's going down baby
Just let god decide,
It's going on baby
Just let god decide
Deep in my soul baby
We've already had enough
Did god hear it from me?
Did god hear it from you ?
Did god hear it from us?
We can't, we can't
We've already had enough

OMG!!! Wow, I get goose bumps when listening to this song,it is very very powerful and Michael's voice too, you fell the emotion in every note, you fell the fury and anguish in his voice, just perfect!Damn how this song moves me!

They've got to hear it from me
They've got to hear it from you
They've got to hear it from us
We can't take it
We've already had ENOUGH

Such a powerful and sadly still all-too-relevant song in today's world.

Emocionante canción tanto en la letra como en la interpretación desgarradora que ejecuta Michael en los puntos más altos de una composición magnífica de principio a fin.

Michael tu es l'un des rares chanteurs à chanter pour de véritables et justes causes ; tu as eu la sagesse et la grandeur d'âme de ne pas te laisser compromettre par la gloire, la célébrité et l'oubli des autres; aussi comme Mohammed Ali, tu es pour moi plus qu'un artiste, un modèle d'humanité dans ce monde de brutes... continue à nous faire réver.because we 've just had enough war

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi une merveille comme ça (ainsi que d'autres) ne figure pas sur un album. Combien Michael aurrait-il pu faire d'albums avec ces morceaux ?

Quote:

Just great, though it sounds a little bit like Earth Song, but that's what makes Michael a genious, he knows what to put in a record and what to save for later, in order there are not 2 similar songs on the same one. Besides of that, outstanding lyrics, as always!

Yeah, I felt the same when i first listened to it

. Its a great Rock Song. Meaningful lyrics. Excellent beat sequence. 10/10

Quand Mike se met à hurler dans les aigus j'en ai mal aux cordes vocales pour lui, mais j'aimerais tellement pouvoir le faire!!! Malgré les arrangements un peu bateau (surtout la boite à rythme) le chant nous transporte et c'est magnifique.
