Etana - People Talk

People talk That's what they do But they don't understand How mi still a push an' go through

Yes, they laugh They call me names But they just don't get it How dem see mi a hol' my head up just the same

When dem see me, dem just keep on talkin' Me nuh see them, I just keep on walkin' I've got my pride Me nah go show my bad side

Some a dem see me as a big pushover Let me fi dead, dem think I'm gonna kill over Oh no, not I I and I will survive

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them take away your levity Live your life and be free

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them lead you astray, starting today Live your life and live it your way

When you go through heartache When you feelin' pain When you en' up in a desert An' a wonda why the hell it nah rain

When dem pass dem judgement And every word lef' a stain When dem talk up di things dem Just fi mash up yuh life an' give you bad name

Dem think yu weak but a deso dem blunda Bad mind and think dem lef' yu business asunder Don't give dem that power Show dem you can be stronger

Jus tek up yuself an' mek di whole a dem wonda How yu get up when dek a try keep you under Don't believe their lies Show dem that you will rise

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them take away your levity Live your life and be free

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them lead you astray, starting today Live your life your way

I say people talk That's what they do But they don't understand How mi still a push an' go through

When dem see me, dem just keep on talkin' And me nuh see them, I just keep on walkin' I've got my pride Me nah go show my bad side

Some a dem see me as a big pushover Let me fi dead, dem think I'm gonna kill over Oh no, not I I and I will survive

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them take away your levity Live your life and be free

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them lead you astray, starting today Live your life your way

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them take away your levity Live your life and be free

Never let them get you down Never let them see you frown Never let them take away your levity Live your life and be free
