[Verse 1]

Yeah, Shout out to everyone who turned they back on me

You taught me how to love myself at my lowest when I was lonely

I ain't even mad cuz there's beauty in rejection

People always circle back when you come to the Acceptance that You don't need them

People say you change when you get a taste of freedom

I done got so focused it's like I don't even see em

Finally chose mysеlf it's like, I don't even need thеm, I don't even need them, (nah)

The biggest lesson learned, Protect my energy

They mad I built a table and that God is still the center piece

So much on my plate but I ain't letting everybody eat

Most of them are haters God chose to sit and watch me feast

It's funny how the tables turn

From people pleasing to watching all of these bridges burn

Let me tear just water all of my lessons learned

And never let the way somebody treat me determine my worth

Never

Pain is temporary

Some people only show you love in your obituary

Some people only show support when it's beneficial

But I've been moving in this space like it's residential

You don't need validation when you choose yourself

You can't build with everybody

Learn to choose your help

Some People underestimate what they don't understand

The same people who rejected me becoming a fan


[Chorus]

Can you blame them

I be speaking truth that will change em

Words carry weight

Better save em

Words carry weight better

(eh)


[Bridge]

See I don't even trip about it

Learning to love people with an open hand

They always come and go and circle back again

Never blame yourself for somebody else

And if they never chose you learn to choose yourself


[Chorus]

Can you blame them

I be speaking truth that will change em

Words carry weight

Better save em

Words carry weight better

(Eh)
