Who rang my phone?
That boy gon be a singer one day fo real
Naw, man get serious for a minute
I said and I said and I said
'Cuz he told me, 'cuz he told me, 'cuz he told me

Why should I worry about what people say?
When they gon talk about me anyway
They gon make up all sort of thangs
I just got to be the bigger 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 one
And only feather of a dove's back, yeah, I said

You know it probably wouldn’t worry me so much
If I was out there and behind closed doors
I was what they call caught up
Stealin' donkin' and drugs, livin' reckless
And takin' advantage of all I worked so damn hard for

Really needed help, but afraid to ask
Lonely, depressed, or just needed someone else
On the verge of givin' up, paranoid, scared
Totally overlookin' how much I been blessed

How could you understand what you say they said
And most of all why they said it, and I just nod my head
When you wrong you’re wrong, I’ll admit it
I’ll confess to anything if I did it

But to spread unnecessary lies, I don’t get it
How could you find enjoyment in my business?
You know what, forget it, talk my *****
If you wasn’t talkin' about me, I probably miss ya

Why should I worry about what people say?
When they gon talk about me anyway
They gon make up all sort of thangs
I just got to be the bigger 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 one
And only feather of a dove's back, yeah, I said

Petey doin' this, Petey doin' that
I seen Petey here, but what he doin' there?
Why you don’t come and ask, it ain't gon make me mad
I respect that more than you doin' it like you have

Botherin' my family scarin' them to death
Why you talking to them about me
When you can talk to me yourself
I might blast back, lose it and tear into your ***
Or I could be a man about it and talk and clear the air

But you don’t never know that 'cuz you won’t take the chance
What that mean? You missin' somethin' in the crotch of your pants
He can make me laugh, 'cuz sometime the story can be so outrageous
Can’t say nothing but damn you know what I really am?

Beyond that her momma told me somethin' one day
And I ain’t forgot it if they scared to my lie
To my Heavenly Father’s precious name
Then who am I to complain?

Why should I worry about what people say?
When they gon talk about me anyway
They gon make up all sort of thangs
I just got to be the bigger 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 one
And only feather of a dove's back, yeah, I said

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 bother me
The lies you tellin' don’t bother 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

Why should I worry about what people say?
When they gon talk about me anyway
They gon make up all sort of thangs
