Roll Off

Written by：B. Edwards/

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

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 dulgin' in drugs and

Livin' reckless

And takin' advantage of all I worked so damn hard

Forpetey needed help

But afraid to ask

Lonely depressed or just needed someone thereon the verge of

Givin' up

Paranoid scared I'm totally overlookin how much I've been blessedi how

Could understand what you say they said

And most of all why they said it

I just nod my headwhen you're wrong you're wrong

I'll admit it

I'll confess to anything if I did itbut to spread

Un necessary lies

I don't get it how could you find enjoyment in my

Businessya know what forget it

Talk my nigga

If you wasn't talkin' 'bout me

I'd probably miss it

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

I said

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 ass

Or I could be a man about it

And talk and clear the air upbut you won't neva

Know that

Cause you won't take the chance

What that mean

Ya missin' somethin' in the crotch of ya pantsit just

Make me laugh

Cause sometimes the stories be so outragous

Can't say nothin' but damnya know what I really am

Beyond that cause momma told me somethin one day

And ain't forgot itif they scared to lie to my

Heavenly father's precious name

Then who am I to complain

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

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

Rumors you spread

Don't botha me

Don't botha me

The lies you tellin'

Don't botha me

Botha me

I thought about it

And I wouldn't be no better than you

I don't care go 'head

Leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone

Leave me alone

Why should I worry 'bout what people say people
