"The kid is not aware."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"The kid is not aware."
What's actually sung
"The kid is not my son." Billie Jean — Michael Jackson (1982)
Why the ear defaults
MJ's hiccup-like vocal delivery clips the final "my son" into something unclear. "Not aware" preserves the denial theme but loses the paternity claim entirely.
