Oh I love Coldplay soooooooo much. Saw them live this september :D

And I love Lost! as well.

Not a fan of Jay-Z and prefer the original version, but the official version with him contains the lyrics he is rapping...

Yeah
...just waitin' til the... the... yeah
Uh huh
I got you
Uhhh
With the same sword they knight you
They gone could knight you with
Shit...
Thats only the half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me aks michael

C. martin see malcolm
See biggie see pac see success in this outcome
See jesus see judas see ceaser c. brutas
See success is like suicide
Suicide it's a suicide
If you should see
Prepare to be crucified
Uhh...
Media medals mix who you settle
Every step you take
They remind you you ghetto
So its tough being bobby brown
To be bobby then
You have to be bobby now
And the question is
Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all
Because i'm...



So basically, his part is about the loss in the success...

Here goes the official video. Enjoy ;)
Oh and if needed,please move. Thanks :D

 
Thanx for posting dangerous. Yeah I too think that's what Jay-Z is tryin to make a point about.

As I'm reading the lyrics up and down...I'm starting to wonder if the Michael is MJ or someone else? "Michael" is a common name, so it's also possible he used it to refer to an average Joe??
 
I'm a fan of Jay Z but I'm not a rock person and I haven't really gotten into them doing songs together. But that is a good lyric to have.

nah ... the only JOE is in the Michael JOE Jackson :D
 
YAY!
I was watching this on MTV the other day and I heard him mention Michael so decided to do some research but I was confused as to whether he was refferring to MJ or someone else? Hmmm.
 
Jay-Z references Mike alot in his songs he is a huge fan.

Which other songs has he referenced him in?
A lot of singers are fans of MJ :]

Lily Allen had a pic of him on a watch she wore in one of her vids. Can't remmeber which one though :/
 
I picked up on that, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were lots of Coldplay fans who didn't. Michael could refer to anyone; although knowing Jay-Z, it is about Michael Jackson.

Is this really worth a thread? MJ is referenced in loads of songs. Anywho Coldplay are big MJ fans. Chris Martins favourite album is Bad.
 
well i couldn't find the thread with MJ references generally...

oh i love Coldplay even more now that I know that Chris Martin is a big fan of Mike's! :) :) :)

arXter - GREAT photo - so gangsta!!
 
btw, this song is soooo good live.
the band in whole is awesome live. you should definitely see them...
