Brush 'Em Off - Stacie Orrico

Just about seen it all from the bottom of the pit

To the top of the ball

I don’t wanna wind up caught in the dark

Feels like I’m swimming in a pool of sharks

People lift you up just to watch you fall

I don’t know why I even bother at all

Seems like they only wanna take me apart

You give ‘em your soul

Wind up breaking your heart

Sometimes I don’t know what I came here for

I was better off with no fame at all

What is everybody here complaining for

They just keep messing my train of thought

Seems like the whole world’s aiming towards

My business, my life and I can’t ignore

They all in line, they all in line

Waiting just to get a little part of mine

And I get so tired of them talking about me

Everybody’s in my business

They trippin, they dog me

They just wanna use me, confuse me, they call me

But I just brush ‘em off me

I just about had enough with the games

And as if it wasn’t bad enough

Blowing up my cell phone, acting up

If they keep pushing I’ma back ‘em up

Cause that’s not what I’m all about

But everybody’s running off at the mouth

Soon as I’m up they pull me down

What goes around comes back around

Tell me if it’s something that I said or I didn’t do

Is it really worth all of the drama that you put me through

Now everybody got their hand out for a dime

Well fall in line, fall in line

Tryna get ahead but you fall behind

And I get so tired of them talking about me

Everybody’s in my business

They trippin, they dog me

They just wanna use me, confuse me, they call me

But I just brush ‘em off me

I hate to throw salt in your game or call names

But half of these cats are 3 quarters soft and part lame

What is it raw cane that’s pumpin in y’all veins

Listen to y’all a screw’s missin in y’all brains

Now everybody’s talkin like they know me, they phoney

Cause they don’t ever come around whenever they owe me

No stuntin, no frontin y’all

You don’t really want it naw

They fake and I cut ‘em off

I’m sayin I brush ‘em off
