Upfront MC – What People Say Lyrics
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 shit to misguide you though

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

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
