Verse 1: Listen up y'all, I got something to say About the people who listen, then use it as a way To manipulate and control, they think they're so clever But really they just hatin', trying to bring me down forever Chorus: Why do people listen to me and then turn it around They use my struggles against me, tryna bring me down But I won't let 'em break me, I'll stand tall and strong I won't let their words hurt me, I'll keep movin' on Verse 2: I open up my heart, pour out my soul Confide in someone, but they play the role Of a snake in disguise, just waiting to strike They twist my words, tryna dim my light Chorus: Why do people listen to me and then turn it around They use my struggles against me, tryna bring me down But I won't let 'em break me, I'll stand tall and strong I won't let their words hurt me, I'll keep movin' on Verse 3: I learned my lesson, won't trust so easily Gotta watch my back, can't let 'em deceive me I'll keep my guard up, won't let 'em get to me Cause I know who I am, and I'll always be free Chorus: Why do people listen to me and then turn it around They use my struggles against me, tryna bring me down But I won't let 'em break me, I'll stand tall and strong I won't let their words hurt me, I'll keep movin' on Outro: So to all the haters, tryna bring me down I won't let you win, I'll wear my crown I'll keep rising up, and you'll see My strength and resilience, that's the real me.
