ok, apparently the liner notes for Kanye's album state that this is an interpolation of Manu Dibango's original, so this submission is now changed to reflect that.

Spinks said on Thursday, 30 September 2010:
I've added it like that as it's closer to Michael Jackson's lyrics than to Manu Dibango's original
