Rumour has it, Rumour has it
That ya got a problem
With people talkin', squawking
Criticizing and you'll never stop them
And judging by the way you act
Why bother ever to involve them?
Word from the wise, leave it behind
Don't hold a grudge
When it will kill you inside
Let 'em say what they say
When your back is turned
Don't you listen
When you feel the shamed
Let the walls remain
And keep your distance
From all those toxic, "bitch fit" nitwits
That stir you up into a spin
So take it right on the chin
And keep it to yourself, my friend
Rumour has it, Rumour has it
That ya got an issue
With people gawking, mocking
Mother f*ckers thinking that they own you
Adding fuel to the fire
They'll find new ways to abuse you
Sever ties, and say goodbye
There's no denying that you're
On your own this time
Well you'll hear it through the Grapevine
Through everyone ya meet
Even from the crackhead
Muttering on the street
Gotta watch what ya say & don't ya say what you'll do
When they're gonna cut up your every move
Every day you wanna beat your head in
Go on, flip 'em the bird like I did
Take that shit on the chin
And keep it to yourself, my friend
