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
