So maybe somebody here knows that strange expression. I would appreciate your help, Thanks. People "tripping" didn't care about anyone or anything but the trip. The lyrics seem to imply that whomever Mr. Jackson is addressing in his song aren't paying attention to the problems of the world, hence they're "tripping". Having said this, I will also reiterate my oft-repeated mantra that pop songs are not ideal subject matter for studying English.

Songwriters write a lot of ungrammatical and often nonsensical lyrics. Trying to interpret pop songs is often an exercise in frustration unless you can get into the mind of the song writer. Welcome to the forum, by the way! I totally agree with your point, that songs are not good concerning grammar, but this is not a stricte grammatical error, is just something that doesn't exist Even if we took "trippin" as being on drugs, as I saw it in some dictionaries, the part "on me" wouldn't make much sense.

Trippin on me? It's one of my students, he's a Jackson fan, and I just cannot leave him with no answer And thanks for the welcome. Click to expand Thanks, that might me helpful. One more thing. I've found an expression "to lay a trip on someone" which means something like to criticize. What do you think?
