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 watchin' me

I got shady n****s gettin' 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

But I tells them no

I'm trying to be all I can be

It's 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 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 talkin', I just keep on walkin'

'Cause it doesn't 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

I'm trying to be all I can be

It's kind of funny 'cause they keep on

Talkin' trash about me

They know nothin' 'bout me

Tell me why

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

Tell the truth about ya

So I'm better off without ya (Better)

Now that I'm gone (Stronger), need to leave me alone

(Need to)

I'm strong on my own (Strong on my own), think I need

you, you're wrong

Wanna tell the truth about ya

So I'm better off without ya (Yeah, yeah)

Now that I'm gone, need to leave me alone (No, no, no,

will never hurt me)

Need to raise up off of me and worry 'bout yourself
