King of Pop

The POP Legend

Jackson 5 started it all
that faithful day
Their sound so unique 
that it paved the way
Little Michael showed 
the world that a new 
sound was on scene
He could look at the 
girls and they started
to scream 
Time went by and the 
world watched him
grow
He became guy that we all
Love and know
He became the "KING of POP."
No force could hold him
back or make him stop
From the sequined glove 
to the eccentric look
Theres not a single show
that didn't get booked
His peculiar style became
the way to dress 
It sure was different and 
made to impress
Billions of records flew
off the racks 
The stats don't lie, 
just read the facts
The most watched video
then hit the scene 
It was about a girl named
Billy Jean
From their came Thriller 
that blew us away 
And it's still going strong
every Halloween day
His life took a turn 
and began to spiral 
down and fast 
It all started from the Pepsi
commercial blast
It left a mark in the mind
of this great music star
Who would have known
it would go so far
The fame and fortune 
had a hold on his mind
The world always knew 
He was one of a kind
Rest In Peace to the 
boy that changed music 
in more ways than we can
name
Your legacy lives on without 
an ounce of shame
