He sang and performed as a teenager. His first hit was in 2003. He chose the song because Michael Jackson had a big heart and it can relate to anyone, even race. Michael Jackson was a music producer, dancer, songwriter and singer. He was the main point of the song but he couldn't say how he felt because Akon wrote it after his death. He may also be right about the essay because Michael was black and is now white. He had a skin disease that caused his skin to turn white, but that didn't stop him from doing anything. The issue with Akon's song, "Hold My Hand," seeks to unite blacks and whites. “Things will be better if you hold my hand” (Youtube) This says that their life will be better if we come together and hold hands. "Nothing can come between us if you just hold, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold my hand, hold my hand." (Youtube) No one can divide us or interfere
