“Why You Wanna Trip on Me” is Michael Jackson’s response to critics and the media about their obsession over him. At the same time, he provides a list of things that they can talk about instead… things that he believes are lot more important than celebrity updates.

[Verse 1]
They say I'm different
They don't understand
But there's a bigger problem
That's much more in demand
You've got world hunger
Not enough to eat
So there's really no time
To be trippin' on me
You've got school teachers
Who don't wanna teach
You've got grown people
Who can't write or read
You got strange diseases
Ah, but there's no cure
You got many doctors
That aren't so sure
So tell me
[Chorus]
(Why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why)
Stop trippin'
[Verse 2]
We've got more problems
Than we'll ever need
You got gang violence
And bloodshed on the street
You got homeless people
With no food to eat
With no clothes on their back
And no shoes for their feet
We've got drug addiction
In the minds of the weak
We've got so much corruption
Police brutality
We've got streetwalkers
Walking into darkness
Tell me
What are we doing
To try to stop this?
[Chorus]
(Why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why)
Ooh, stop trippin'
Yeah, stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'
[Chorus]
(Why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why)
Stop trippin'
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why, why, why, why)
Why you wanna trip on me?
(Why)
Ooh, stop trippin'
Yeah, stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'
[Outro]
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'
Stop trippin'

The element I’m most proud of in this song is my guitar playing. I thought he [Jackson] was going to get another person to play on it but he wanted my good self playing! That was something special to me. I was using an acoustic Ovation guitar. The whole song didn’t take long to produce, actually. I...
