[Upfront]
People say do what you like
Then call me selfish for doing it
People say live your life
Then seem to constantly ruin it
People say you can't be crazy
If you feel like you're losing it
People say a lot of things
Different when it's on you
People say they'll be there when you need them
And then they turn their backs
People say to count on their presence
But then their words are crap
People say they ain't got time for you
But then they seem to do for other cats
People need to act
On what they chat
People say they care for your feelings
But then they break your heart
People think this life is a blessing
But then they make it hard
People think by changing the sentence
The message isn't gonna leave a scar
But it is hard
Tryna' to be positive cuz all I see is dark
People say to leave your demons behind you
People also say if you don't those demons will find you
Creep up inside you
And leave you feeling like I do
There's a long road ahead that could end depending on my route
So I gotta make the right moves
People say you're free
But I can't live the life that I choose
People say there's evil in every person:
That's quite true
People say a lot of sly shit to misguide you though
[HOOK: Chakaya]
What people say
What people do

[Hi Res]
People say a lot of shit
And that's just how it is, fam
Take it as you wish and keep your kicks
Out the quicksand
People say they'll stick round
And help you when you really need 'em
But seem to leave you alone
When your feet are in the deep end
People speak of keeping it close knit
And under wraps
But underhanded chatter spreads information
To open cats
People say they don't react
Then flip out when emotions hatch
Show the facts
'Cuz people act like the camera's watching
Stuck inside an open box
And people say they're nothing
Lost in a pre-prescribed vision of living
But people say that they're free
When they sit in the prison
With a TV feeding kids a mission to fix 'em
Cuz they listen to what the people say on the telly
People say they've empty pockets
Can't spare a penny to any
And I'm sick of hearing the same people say pass the peng please
Two-faced people say shit but can't offend me
[HOOK]
[Upfront]
People say that it's a hard-knock life
Then they constantly hit you
People say whoever wins the lottery
Is probably big news
People say that there's more to life
Than what meets the eye
People say you only live once, bruv
So you need to try
People say that this ain't livin'
People shout fuck the world
Especially those cunts in Great Britain
People say that there's no shame in losing
Hangin' their heads in defeat
Proving to me, what they said's an illusion
People are funny things
People find it hard to deal with the issue
That money brings
We buy mansions and bloody rings
But people think personal victory comes with gold rims
But that's the image that livin' has gone and sold him
People say do what makes you happy
People say tell me your problems
Now I'm way too chatty
People say they know the truth but when the fakes move at me then
What people say changes on a daily basis, practically
