let them talk
by Precious Lee
Lyrics
Verse 1
They got a room full of opinions
I got a key and I’m walking out
They can point at the window
I know what my name is about
Every old scar got a story
Every small doubt had its say
Now I’m done with the measuring
I’m taking my own way
Pre-Chorus
Let it roll off my shoulders
Let it fall to the floor
I heard enough from the sidelines
I don’t need that anymore
Chorus
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
Let them talk, let them talk
I’m still standing upright
My steps, my song, my blood
My name, my heart, my light
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
Verse 2
I’ve been folded in their shadows
I’ve been smaller than I was
Now I’m wearing my own choices
Like a coat that finally fits snug
If they want a version of me
That’s a copy, cheap and neat
They can keep it on the shelf now
I’m not built to be complete
Pre-Chorus
Let it roll off my shoulders
Let it fall to the floor
I heard enough from the sidelines
I don’t need that anymore
Chorus
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
Let them talk, let them talk
I’m still standing upright
My steps, my song, my blood
My name, my heart, my light
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
Bridge
I won’t shrink for a rumor
I won’t bend for a stare
I’m not asking for permission
I was born to live there
Final Chorus
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
Let them talk, let them talk
I’m still standing upright
My steps, my song, my blood
My name, my heart, my light
Let them talk, let them talk
I will keep my own life
