Where the people around me just envy,
I must replace ‘em
See, I always thought the people that watch me grow
Would wanna see me blow, for sure, but little did
I knowThey ain’t never really wanna see me smiling
They couldn’t take the fact that
I was really shining
And in my heart
I knew they wishing
I would stop’
Cause they don’t me to rise and be on top
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it’s gone hurt for you to see
But it ain’t your fault, just let it be
So, I’m gon’ close my eyes

See, everybody wanna have something to talk about
So they pointin’ their fingers and always runnin’ their mouths
No matter how you try to satisfy someone else
Givin’ so much of yourself, your love, but it’s never enough
The more you give, the more they want and they ain’t happy
And they don’t see all you do to make ‘em happy
They don’t appreciate it ‘till you walk away
But you don’t wanna hear it by now it’s too late
And all that jealousy and hate
Could be right in front of your face
And it’s gone hurt for you to see
But it ain’t your fault, just let it be
So, I’m gon’ close my eyes
And I’m gon’ live my life
