After a moments reflection, paranoia once again takes the stand. We can also feel sarcasm at the boys(Jordan Chandler's) father who failed to destroy his image(though leaving a big scar). To learn more, visit my other post "False Allegations Against the King of POP".
Jackson proves once again to be relevant on a crisp hard-core jam. With eerie special effects adding to the illusion of paranoia. If his duet with Rockwell isn't a clue, "This Time Around" goes ahead and blatantly affirms someone's out to get Michael Jackson(if only he didn't use profanity to convey it).
The Notorious B.I.G. is invited to feature a haunting Rap segment. Even claiming to be surveyed and wire-tapped. Possibly alluding to Tom Snedden.
Upon arriving in Texas, Christopher Wallas(a.k.a. Mr. Biggie) receives a message from Michael Jackson. In a fit of hysteria, Biggie couldn't contain himself. Yet when he came to his senses, Wallas realized it was the King of Pop and he want's you to feature on one of his songs!
And so he arrived at the studio and laid down his Rapping segment. The only problem, Michael Jackson was no where to be found. But before he walked out that door, there he was! Mr. Biggie's literally ran up and hugged Mr. Jackson. He was so exited, it was almost as if he was a kid again!
The song rose to #23 on the Billboard R&B Airwaves Charts. A single was to be released for an HBO special. But was canceled after Jackson fainted during rehearsals. It now stands in limbo.
This Time Around Lyrics(Clean Version)

This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna fix me
This time around you're making me sick
Though you really wanna ditch me
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to get me
They really wanna fix me, hit me
But this time around I'm takin' no shank
Though you really wanna get me
{intercom echo: Though You really wanna get me}
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had a hold on me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had a hold on me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna get me
[You really wanna get me]
But this time around I'm takin' no shank
Though you really wanna fix me
[You really wanna fix me]
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to use me
They really want to use me
And then falsely accuse me
This time around
They'll take it like spit
'Cause you really can't control me
[You really can't control me]
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had a hold on me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had a hold on me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
(Rap: The Notorious BIG)
Listen, I've got problems of my own
Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
Things always missin'
Maybe it could be my friends
They ain't friends if they robbin' me
Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
Apology shallow like the ocean
I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
If I was dead broke and smokin'
I'd probably be by my lonesome
I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
The fool comes slippin'
So I could blow'em open
This time around
I changed up my flow
Got rid of the rocks
Got Pitts by the door
I've raised other peoples to watch my back
Stay away from strangers
So I won't slack
And I know my nigga Mike like that
Baby
(Michael)
This time around yeah!!!!!
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had hold of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
(This part is intermingled with the 'He really thought's. Just listen to the end of the song and you will hear it.)
Get me, fix me.
You really tried ta git me.
Use me, accuse me.
Nobody's goin' to use me.
Take me, shake me.
Nobody’s gonna break me.
Will me, thrill me.
I like the way he chilled me!
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
(This part is also intermingled with the 'He really thought's. Just listen to the end of the song and you will hear it.)
Use me, accuse me.
Nobody's goin' to use me
Fix me, wish me.
Nobody's goin' to dish me.
[He really thought. He really thought]
They thought they really had control of me
[He really thought. He really thought]
He really had control of me
Had control of me
This time around yeah!
[He really thought.]
