Split Prophets - What People Say lyrics

[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 sh** to misguide you though [HOOK: Chakaya] What people say What people do [x4] [Hi Res] People say a lot of sh** 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 pa** the peng please Two-faced people say sh** 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 f** the world Especially those c*nts 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 [HOOK]
