Janet Jackson - You [Lyrics]

[leesiluvzmjj2009]

Janet is a fucking genius..when she's singing those letters..she's spelling "conscience" backwards..get it..her conscience is saying "you can't blame nobody but you.."..Janet is the truth and I love her!

[lisaiz2happy]

This was sort of a healing album for her. This song is sooo powerful!!!

[deezyblockwatch7426]

Old throw bk

[muzikluvr1231]

Sounds like she is trying to reach Michael...

[dazv555]

[djay1814jj]

SHES A GENIUS

[cutiepie1239505]

OMG i love this album and the picture my mom bought me the shirtt!

[Clairexelisexx]

[deptford]

To anyone in the UK. Make sure you see the BBC4 documentary on Janet. It is fantastic. It aired last night 18.11.11 and is on iplayer for one month

[Clairexelisexx]

Janet is so underrated this album was amazin xx

[TheJanetjacksonlover]

cant blame nobody but you.

[casonetto]

Killer bass line.

[str8tuptlk]

@casonetto Yeah it is... It come from the group WAR (cisco kid)

[casonetto]

@str8tuptlk Nice - did not know that, thanks!

[suedesoulnatl]

@casonetto its a sample from the bass line in "The Cisco Kid" by War....;o)

[ceilinggod]

SHE IS TALKING TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON THIS ONE .IF YOU DON'T GET IT OR UNDERSTAND IT.... YOU JUST EXPLAINED WHY YOU GOING THROUGH THE SHIT YOU DEALING WITH !!!!!!!!!!

[CyclopsThugLovin]

Whoa.. she's talking right to Michael n ths song lol

[Brodie2006]

@CyclopsThugLovin no she isn't! she made that clear.

[liacashmere58]

@CyclopsThugLovin Mj wasn't the only Jackson nor person on the planet with problems. This song Janet wrote was about herself

[djay1814jj]

@liacashmere58 yes she did this about herself.. she said she should hve named it me...

[liacashmere58]

@djay1814jj I wish she would start putting out good music again

[360LoveU4Lyfe]

i got her dvd it got all videos and some performances including her performing this song

[okayokayokayokayboh]

She sounds constipated.

Sorry. I love Janet Jackson. It's got to be said though.

[PopCulture20]

@okayokayokayokayboh A TRUE JANET FAN IS ALWAYS HONEST SO YOU DID RIGHT!!!

[okayokayokayokayboh]

@PopCulture20 I'm a true fan if ever there was one. Even when she sounds constipated she has the sexiest voice I've ever heard.

[philipwade92]

the sense of what is right and wrong that governs somebody's thoughts and actions, urging him or her to do right rather than wrong - CONSCIENCE

[philipwade92]

i can't believe i was 5 years old when this album came out, I STILL LOVE IT TO THIS DAY, JANET IS AMAZING, I FELL N LOVE WIT HER AFTER THIS ALBUM, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS YOUNG I RELATED TO IT, I FOUND MYSELF THANKS TO JANET, THIS SONG IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE, i remember when i first found out what she said at towards the end, E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

conscience spelled backwards HELL NAW, masterpiece i ♥ jan to death

[FatboyJr123]

THIS AlBuM WAs LIKE HER THRILLER

[liacashmere58]

@FatboyJr123 No this album was her Bad. Janet was her Thriller

[PopCulture20]

@liacashmere58 Actually Rhythm Nation was more of Janet's Thriller because it was a very diverse album

[liacashmere58]

@PopCulture20 Your right. RN was her Thriller album. This album is her Dangerous

[90sBabyNERD]

I wonder whatshe is saying in that chant is towards the end of the song is..

[kendolldamon]

@90sBabyNERD she is saying es c n e i c s n o c which is conscience spelled backwards

[90sBabyNERD]

@kendolldamon thnx I never knew what that was..how'd you figure that out..cuz i've listened to that song only about a million times and rewended it to see what she was saying on that part. now i knw thnx to you

[Basil3000]

This is my favorite song on the Velvet Rope. After I heard it, I came out of the closet. Thank you Janet for making me look in the mirror and live my life!

[whatthedeuce81]

@Basil3000 Well said! This is one of the best songs Janet Jackson's ever done- badass tune and the lyrics really hits home.

[irismey]

I still have this CD and played this song...loved it!

[anjelheaven]

E * C * N * E * I * C * S * N * O * C

[mjfan0013]

shes spelling conscience wow deep song

[bluscorpion]

@mjfan0013 oh damm, how about I had no idea what she was spelling. LOL And I've been listening to this song for years.

[bossb510]

@mjfan0013 that was the shit tho! my cuzin pointed that out 2 me when i was 8. i thought i was raw cuz i culd spell conscience LOL

[xoxofashiionista]

This song is exactly about me...sacrificing my happiness to please people..not anymore I come FIRST

[MegaYGB]

Yes, Janet show Justin Timberfake he ain't shit. So funny how his career didn't get damaged but Janet's did. She need to come with more music like this and put the MJ copycat in his place, which way below her's and MJ's.

[electricalstar]

See, artists stopped making music like this. I miss it. This album is PHENOMENAL!! We need artists who make stuff this good.

Love you, Janet. Keep showing these Britneys, Beyonces and Rihannas how to freaking write a song properly, and make it sound DAMN good.

[MUARFA]

luv the lyrics on this song. Some said she wrote this back in the day for Michael...they had some kinda of falling out..don't know how true. thanx for adding track + lyrics...I was totally singing along!! :D

[sweetKaylahMartinez]

@MUARFA Nope. She didn't. She wrote this song about herself. It was never wrote for Michael. ^_^

[MUARFA]

@sweetKaylahMartinez ooowwww well I guess I stand corrected then but how r u really so sure.....huh hahaa ;)

[sweetKaylahMartinez]

@MUARFA She said so. ^_^ In a interview. :P I don't remember the exact interview but I remember she said it somewhere.

[MUARFA]

@sweetKaylahMartinez thanks for putting me on..I stand corrected lol

[wesleybaby45]

Janet is the shit 

[msbarbados30]

wow this is hot luv it

[mrswaglistic]

IT SEEMS LYKE SHES TALKIN BOUT MICHAEL

[cuzzins4life]

@mrswaglistic when this first came out a lot of people thought she was but when I first heard this song I immediately knew she talking to herself, and if yu listen closely she says "i'm the you, you forgot"

[kendolldamon]

Anyone notice at the end she sings s e n e i c s n o c... conscience spelled backwards...Janet is DEEP!!!!

[cvc1814]

@kendolldamon SHE IS GENIUS

[misskamgam]

i LOVE this song...

[antigoniem06]

Question: does this use a sample from the song "Cisco Kid" by War?

[greencookiemonsters]

@antigoniem06 Yep

[cyoneal24]

@antigoniem06: Yes! :)

[suedesoulnatl]

@antigoniem06 ....yep....it sure is...

[MrNicoleCherie]

This song makes me sad and kinda makes me wanna cry......aw janet

[MariahYanez]

Hell Yea! Can't blame nobody but YOU! Take responsibility and stop hatin on ME!!!!

[xxxMrBligexxx]

Hands Down, The Best Janet Jackson Album Ever Recorded! She Was Very, Very Depressed At The Time... I Guess When People Are Dealing With The Toughest Times In Their Careers, They Make Albums That Express How They Feel At The Time, And That Album Always, Always Becomes Their Best Work Of All! Anyways, Next Song: I Get Lonely... Let's Keep This Album Going!

[MrNicoleCherie]

@xxxMrBligexxx why was she depressed?

[xxxMrBligexxx]

@MrNicoleCherie I Forgot... But I Saw Her Biography A Long Time Ago, And I Remembered Them Saying That Janet Was Depressed...

[cvc1814]

@xxxMrBligexxx YOU REALIZE HOW AMAZING THE SONG IS WHEN U GET IN TOUCH WITH IT..

[xxxMrBligexxx]

@cvc1814 Of Course... Every Single Song On This Album! My Favorite Song On This Whole Album Is "Empty"

[antigoniem06]

@MrNicoleCherie She said it was several thing, specifically from her childhood. She said she internalized A LOT of things and she never really dealt with it properly or told anyone her issues.

[walabalabingbang]

This is the real "Man in the Mirror" song/message.

[tlover1062]

This cut is JUST AS NASTY AS THE NASTY GIRL HERSELF!!!!! THIS THING IS STRAIGHT UP FUNKY!!!!

[MrNicoleCherie]

@tlover1062 hell ya!

[nick34bart]

You can't blame nobody but Joe

[liacashmere58]

@nick34bart Joe wasn't that bad!

[MrNicoleCherie]

@nick34bart I thougth it was You not joe

[nick34bart]

@MrNicoleCherie It is You, it was just a joke

[lowriderbandfan]

sample: Cisco Kid by WAR. Check it out. Peace.
