So I posted a video of Michael Jackson singing "You Can't Win" on FB. And my almost cousin (she has a child with one of my cousins) also posted it. I got to see this reply to the video...
"Nice song do you knw what he really singing about the music business what they go thru when you sign your life away to the devil illuminati and Boulle. When you hear the entertainment world say The Game they talking the stuff they have to do to get that millions, sleep with each other have sex with animals, or sacrifice a family member or close friend"
WTF???? I need someone to break this down for me. Only because I remember that Michael was in his late teens, early 20s at the time. I don't think Michael was thinking about the illuminati singing this song. I think someone was smoking a little too much.
So OKP, what do you think? Break down "You Can't Win" for me, please.

I don't know that particular song but the theory is when you get in the industry and you're willing to do whatever it takes to be famous the execs will put an artist through a series of routines meant to make them mouth pieces for whatever agenda the ultra rich (who really influence world affairs) desire.
These rituals allegedly involve sexual manipulation e.g. Ke$hsa, mind control (see the governments Mk ultra program), and various occult rituals (see the thuggee cult and their supposed practice of placing gold in their mouths and around their necks -- thuggee is where the word thug comes from).
Beats me how true all that is but that's the rundown.

"You Can't Win" and its corresponding scene in the movie allude to mistreatment of African Americans. Jackson stated in his 1988 autobiography Moonwalk that the lyrics to "You Can't Win" are about humiliation and helplessness, feelings, he stated, that many people have experienced at one point in their life. The singer added that the song was also about "the feeling that there are people out there who don't actively hold you back as much as they work quietly on your insecurities so that you hold yourself back". "You Can't Win" opens with the lines, "You can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game. People keep sayin', things are gonna change, but they look just like they're staying the same." William F. Brown, who wrote the book for the Broadway musical, stated that such verses made "You Can't Win" a "black message song".
****
Also the song wasn't written by or for MJ.

There's tons of heavy symbology in it. He was saying a lot of stuff that pop stars aren't expected to.

But that cover is telling a story. Mike said so himself. But Tommy Mottola is heavily tied to the Mafia, that's no theory.
