"We've Had Enough" is a previously unreleased song by Michael Jackson, released as the 57st track on The Ultimate Collection. The song was co-written in 1999 with Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels and Carole Bayer Sager, reportedly under the title Stop The War and re-written as We've Had Enough in 2000.    The track seems to have been mastered in 2003 and is the version we hear on The Ultimate Collection.    Love was taken from a young life And no one told her why Her direction has a dim light From one more violent crime She innocently questioned why Why her father had to die She asked the men in blue How is it that you get to choose Who will live and who will die Did God say that you could decide?

The song was co-written with Walter Afanasieff and Robin Thicke (who also provides backing vocals) and recorded in 1999 for the Invincible. Afanasieff confirmed in January, 2000: "We worked to the point that we were three-fourths of the way finished, then the incident happened when his son got very sick.
