Envious

[Verse 1]
I had to clear my mind 'cause they're envious
You know that some things just don't change
Started rumors, spread lies about me
Tried to decompose my name
See, the shady sisters they be watching me
I got shady n****s getting next to me
Try to get some of this, see what I'm about
Thinkin I'm an easy prey and they can dog me out

[Pre-Chorus]
But I tell them no
I'm trying to be all I can be
It's kind of funny 'cause they keep on
Talking trash about me
They know nothing 'bout me
So tell me why

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
See, they envious about the moves I make
I ain't afraid to take a chance
See, they envious because I can't just stop
Even envious about my man
While they're busy talking, I just keep on walking
'Cause it doesn't mean a thing
See, your sticks and stones they may break my bones
But the words will never hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I let it go
I'm trying to be all I can be
It's kind of funny 'cause they keep on
Talking trash about me
They know nothing 'bout me
Tell me why

[Chorus]
Why is everybody so envious
You know that envy never dies (envy never dies)
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
Not the way I live my life (way I live my life)
Why is everybody so envious (Oh...oh...)
You know that envy never dies (No, no, no)
Need to raise up off of me (I) and worry 'bout yourself (I)
Not the way I live my life (way I live my life)
Why is everybody so envious (Oh...)
You know that envy never dies (no, it never, never dies)
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
Not the way I live my life (way I live my life)
Why is everybody so envious (Ooh...ooh...)
You know that envy never dies
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
Not the way I live my life

[Bridge]
Tell the truth about cha
So much better off without cha (better)
Now that I'm gone (stronger)
Need to leave me alone (bitches)
Standing strong on my own (strong on my own)
Think I need you? You're wrong
Tell the truth about cha
So much better off without cha (yeah, yeah)
Now that I'm gone
Need to leave me alone (no, no, no, no)
Standing string on my own
Think I need you? You're wrong

[Chorus]
Why is everybody so envious (why is everybody so envious)
You know that envy never dies (I don't understand)
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself (I don't understand)
Not the way I live my life (those shady sisters they be watching me)
Why is everybody so envious
You know that envy never dies (why is everybody so envious)
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
Not the way I live my life
Why is everybody so envious (mind your business)
You know that envy never dies
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
(Really need to mind your business)
Not the way I live my life
Why is everybody so envious (see, your sticks and stones they may break my bones)
You know that envy never dies (But your words, words will never hurt me)
Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
Not the way I live my life (No)
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
Why is everybody so envious
You know that envy never dies
