I think he's definitely referring to those with unscrupulous behavior towards him, always trying to kick MJ to the curb, when he doesn't do exactly what they say like a puppet. MJ was his own man, he knew there were always people trying to get a piece of his (very hard-earned) wealth.

I agree! MJ *was* his own man. And he did a great job in the video for the song as well. Plus, he showed an excellent example of why aggressiveness is part of the masculine design, and that men are hardwired for it.

I really liked this song. I'm sure it speaks out against those who do bad. In the video, Michael goes against his own friends. He refuses to take money from a stranger, and tells them.. "You know what? I'm not listening to you.." so basically, he's being bad in his own way. Michael was a smart man.
