She tried to shave her tiara off. Wow.
in awe
Oomph.
Ivie Lee that part gave me chills
same
"She tried to shave her tiara off." Real poetry.
"in Hollywood they put stars under the ground for a reason" bruh at this point i had to pause everything and just breath
"In Hollywood they put their stars into the ground for a reason" wow.
Justin…, in Hollywood they put their stars into the ground for a reason.
"He ain't good enough to be bad"
- Javon
I have to admit the most haunting part of his delivery of this was at the end, that powerful line about his funeral being the greatest concert ever....he made his voice go softer/higher and for a second there he even sounded like MJ. Not even sure if that was on purpose but definitely - powerful stuff.
The Brittany Spears part really got me. Powerful and everyone in the comments are in awe!!
Javon always makes me lean back in my seat and hug a pillow. So powerful.
I'm crying.
This is exactly the view point I have. This is how michael would have said it.
I love this poem so much.
Your chest can't handle the weight of this kind of a tombstone.
Comic Lover this comment is as poetic as the poem.
Very interesting prompt, and painfully true, like the real stars we see in the sky, most of them are long gone, but we still pretend they are there.
I just wanna write like this... a masterpiece
"Where the f... did my childhood go the crown is to heavy for your head boy!!!" U aint oldenough to Be KING BOY I got chills So even in death someone will prop u up attach the strings so that your funeral will be your greatest concert ever.....whooooo true words and so true im never joining hollywood but to Michael I love I hope u are in heaven with Jesus and the angels im so sorry of what u went through rip sweetheart!!!
Rest in peace, Michael!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Powerful and breathtaking. So many scalding truths cutting through like million bullets shot all at once. I had to watch this several times. Can't get enough. Javon you're a true artist with words. Bless your soul!
One of the greatest poems I have ever had the honour of hearing
We put stars in the ground for a reason, damn.
As a person who loves Justin this poem is moving and so true. I've watched that boy grow up, and to see the shit they put him through is horrible. I don't agree with all of the poem seeing that we knew neither of them but this is beautiful.
He's putting his own self through shit, no one's doing anything to him.
How can this get any thumbs down?! This gave me goosebumps.
Hardcore Beliebers thinking their idol was under attack, would be my guess.
ellaphx Or MJ haters who think so little of him they insist he over contemplated all of his struggles in life and actually did everything he went through to himself.
I love all your poems because it's obvious how much thought you put into it.
They praise and love you as you start, and they salivate while you slowly crack and wait for you to fall so they can begin to rip you apart.
RIP Michael Joseph Jackson
the absolute TRUTH on the pop industry gosh
damn. i have literal chills.
bruh he could probably get up there and recite the alphabet and I would still get shivers
"We put stars in the ground for a reason..." WOW!
This Man Poetry Help Me Get Out Of The Streets And Back On The Basketball Court 😩💯
awww thats nice!
I love justin and michael, this reduced me to tears, this isn't hating on either of them. It's the truth. Hollywood changes people and is a puppeteer. I hope michael is proud of justin for all he HAS achieved.
Javon is one of my favorites on this channel, love all his poems
Javon Johnson's writing and delivery are so good. I just want to weave them into a super cool jeans jacket and wear it always. Looking forward to seeing much more from Johnson and the rest of his collective, Fiveology
He sure understands celebrity exploitation! What an indictment of of popular culture! Mature language.
Speak!!!!!! That boy will never be King. If he's the next MJ, then all of Hollywood and everyone that are trying to make him out to be owes MJ a lot of apologies.
Wow...just ...Wow
Wow.. I love Michael and Justin and well this poem is just wow
I actually cried. This is amazing.
I....wow. Speechless.
Speechless..
I am a belieber and this poem gave me chills...
this poem is just a masterpiece
Best.Thing.I.Have.Ever.Heard.
He's one of my favorites I love his delivery
i seriously have watched this like once a week for the last 3 years. all of his poems.
fucking hell... strong emotions
in awe....
Beautiful
Bruh....im speechless.....that was flawless.
Absolutely amazing.
I love this so much!
damn a dead king writes a live kings death sentence.....deep
MIchael Jackson was/is the greatest that EVER LIVED,and this video is really powerful.fkn DAMN
Damn! Javon delivers another good one.
Still sharing and listening in 2018
that's hit me hard dude
Knife in the heart.
I read a lot of comments about how Justin will never be like MJ and how he just needs to stay away from the throne but I feel like the title means isn't a warning of telling him to back off its a warning of what will come. He (MJ/Javon) is trying to tell Justin to get out while he still can or he's going to get fucked over
The goosebumps at the end
ahhh beautiful!
Thank you so much... You said the truth and the way you said it was so powerful, that literally makes me over think things...
he did that!
This is powerful writting
What an amazing poet it was so true and you must of put so much time and effort into it I hope justin see this
Wow just wow
this is good, this is really, really good. wow.
that brittany reference deeeeeep
Whoa...
I know I’m super late but are we just gonna ignore that Javon said “and here, you wonder why I tried to update my own model to something more streamline.”
That's all the truth!
Yesssssss.
I wasn't expecting that but damn...
shittt that made me cry
Wow just wow.
wow!
Amen
one word DOPE!!!!!
WOW
Powerful!
that was f***in intense!

Thanks for watching. Follow me @javonism
Kanye West Cousin...😂
I just had a sudden revelation while watching this video and listening to this video and I think that it reigns true in this case.
So Justin Beiber is like the boy king dude on Game of Thrones. (Sorry I don't watch the show so I don't know much about him) But Beiber is just like him and in the end like that character Karma reared it's ugly bitch of a face and got what came to him. If Beiber isn't careful the same will come to him as well. I don't wish ill will on anybody but I think that Justin should heed these words and take note.
Great message of a cautionary tale wrapped ever-so-eloquently in a lyrical prose.
