I can tell you’re angry but I can’t comprehend it,
I stole from black culture, why are you offended?

from Nice Peter & EpicLLOYD (Ft. Bentley Green) – Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley Lyrics on Rap Genius

A rebuttal to Jackson’s opening lines and a jab at his racial identity.

MJ surgically altered his features and lightened his skin until he no longer looked black, prompting speculation that he actually wanted to be white. If this was true, why would Jackson be mad at Presley’s appropriation of black music (rhythm & blues) or his uncredited use of black musicians and songwriters?
