I had to clear my mind cause theyre envious

You know that some things just dont change

Started rumors, spread lies about me

Tried to decompose my name





See, the shady sisters they be watchin me

I got shady n****s gettin next to me

Try to get some of this, see what Im about

Thinkin Im an easy prey and they can dog me out





But I tells them no

Im trying to be all I can be

Its kind of funny cause they keep on

Talkin trash about me

They know nothin bout me

So tell me why





Why is everybody so envious

You know that envy never dies

Need to raise up off of me and worry bout yourself

Not the way I live my life (Oh)





Why is everybody so envious

You know that envy never dies

Need to raise up off of me and worry bout yourself

Not the way I live my life





See, they envious about the moves I make

I aint afraid to take a chance

See, they envious because I cant just stop

Even envious about my man





While theyre busy talkin, I just keep on walkin

Cause it doesnt mean a thing

See, your sticks and stones they may break my bones

But the words will never hurt me





Cause I let it go

Im trying to be all I can be

Its kind of funny cause they keep on

Talkin trash about me

They know nothin bout me

Tell me why
