Lyrics People Talk - Etana

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

Yes, they laugh
Some 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'
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

Get you down, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't let them get you down, no, no, no, no, no, no
I got my pride, I got my pride
I'm standing firm, I'm standing firm
Stronger, yeah, eh

They can't do me like that
What?
Miss it
