Let me be

[Intro]
Selassie I say don't trust dem, even if me buss dem
They be eva come around, who need enemy wid dem kinda friends?
They talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart happy and free, why don't they just let me be ?

[Verse 1]
Jealousy and lies won't defeat you, look how dem aggravated and beat up
Change yourself cause a good dem no mean you, it getting worse and dem mek it so hard
Some say dem a friend but when me check it dem a counterfeit
Dem a demi dem no ready, none a dem no real
Dem only fronting, dem wi slew you in your sleep
Rather worse, dem go mek it so hard
Alright well
Some people hate you and dem no rate you
Aggravated by your success fi left down
(hey) I get de picture dem run in, dem see de glitter, now dem fail me no know weh dem get
I show dem say;
Happiness is not a crime, so me nah mek no bitterness kill I
I risk no time, neva feel guilty to show my smile, when me walk wid me enemy live

[Chorus x2]
They talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart happy and free, why don't they just let me be
Talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart, I'm so happy and free, so why don't they just let me be

[Verse 2]
Sit around with envy and greed, opportunity fly pass in full speed
Catch as it as it grows fresh tender trees, don't you grumble while another succeed
Time fi you get rid a de weathery monster within
While another man's possession looking so attractive to your eyes
You know time flies
So if dem a de hypocrite I naw let dem near me tonight

[Chorus]
They talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart happy and free, why don't they just let me be
Talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart, I'm so happy and free, so why don't they just let me be

[Verse 3]
Selassie I say don't trust dem
Jealousy and lies won't defeat you, look how dem aggravated and beat up
Change youself cause a good dem no mean you, it get worse and dem mek it so hard
Some say dem a friend but when me check it dem a counterfeit
Dem a demi dem no ready, none a dem no real
Dem only fronting, dem wi slew you in your sleep
Rather worse, dem go mek it so hard
Alright well
Some people hate you and dem no rate you
Aggravated by your success fi left down
(hey) I get de picture dem run in, dem see de glitter, now dem fail me no know weh dem get
I show dem say;
Happiness is not a crime, so me nah mek no bitterness kill I
I risk no time, neva feel guilty to show my smile, when me walk wid me enemy live

[Chorus]
They talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart happy and free, why don't they just let me be
Talked me down, called me names, my mind made up it ain't gonna change
Sure in my heart, I'm so happy and free, so why don't they just let me be
