People Talk
Etana

People talk
That’s what they do
But they don’t understand
How mi still a push and go through
Yes they laugh
They call me names
But they just don’t get it
How dem see me a hold my head up just the same
When dem see me dem just keep on talking
Mi nah see dem a just keep on walking
I got my pride
Mi nah go show mi bad side
Some of dem see me as a big pushover
Left me fi dead and think I’m gonna keel 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 liberty
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 heartaches
When you’re feeling pain
When you end up in a desert
And a wonder why the hell it nuh rain
When dem pass dem judgement
And every word lef a stain
When dem talk up di tings dem
Just fi mash up yuh life and give yuh bad name
Dem think yuh weak but a deso dem blunder
Bad mind and ting dem lef yuh business asunder
Don’t give dem that power
Show dem you can be stronger
Just tek up yuhself and mek di whole a dem wonder
How you get up when dem a try keep yuh under
Don’t believe their lies
Show them that you will rise

Never let them get you down
Never let them see you frown
Never let them take away your liberty
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
