I said
And I said
And I said

'Cause he told me, cause he told me, cause he told me

[hook]

Why should I worry 'bout what people say, (people say)
When they 'gon talk about me anyway, (anyway)
They 'gon make up all sorta things, (sorta things)

I just got to be the bigga man
And let it roll off
The talk don't bother me

I believe in me
If nobody else does
And let it roll off

Just like the water on the feather of a dove's back yeah
I said


You probably wouldn't worry me so much
If I was out there
Behind closed doors

I was what they called caught up
Stealin, duckin', and drugs
Livin' reckless

And takin' advantage of all I worked so damn hard for
Petey needed help
But afriad to ask

Lonely, depressed, or just needed someone else
On the verge of givin' up
Paranoid, scared, I'm totally overlookin how much I've been blessed

I could understand what you say they said
And most of all why they said it
I just nod my head

When you're wrong you're wrong
I'll admit it
I'll confess to anything if I did it

But to spread un-necessary lies
I don't get it
How could you find enjoyment in my business

Ya know what, forget it
Talk my ^!$$%
If you wasn't talkin' 'bout me

I'd probably miss it

[hook]


Petey doin' this
Petey doin' that

I seen Petey here
Well what he doin' there?
Why you don't come and ask

It ain't 'gon make me mad
I respect that more then you doin' it like you have
Bothrin' my family

Scarin' them to death
Why you talkin' to them 'bout it when you could talk to me yourself
I might flash back, lose it

And tear into ya $$#
Or I could be a man about it
And talk and clear the air up

But you wont neva know that
cause you wont take the chance
What that mean

Ya missin' somethin' in the crotch of ya pants
It just make me laugh
cause sometimes the stories be so outragous

Can't say nothin' but Damn
Ya know what I really am?
Beyond that

cause momma told me somethin one day
And ain't forgot it
If they scared to lie to my Heavenly Father's precious name

Then who am I to complain

[hook]


I don't care, go 'head
Stop, get away from here
Leave me alone (leave me alone), Leave me alone (leave me alone)
I don't care, go 'head

Stop, get away from here
Leave me alone (leave me alone), Leave me alone (leave me alone)
The rumors you spread
Don't botha me
The lies you tellin'

Don't botha me
I thought about it
And I wouldn't be no better than you
I don't care, go 'head
Stop, get away from here

Leave me alone (leave me alone), Leave me alone (leave me alone)
