Let ’Em Talk (Alt 5)

Funny thing about noise… It always comes from the sidelines.

They got a mouth full of stories They ain’t lived one day They love to tell you who you are From a mile away

I’ve heard it all before Every angle, every name But words don’t leave scars And scars don’t fade

I learned early What silence is for

Let ’em talk Let it roll off I don’t carry what ain’t mine They can bark They can point They can waste their time I got miles in my rearview I got truth in my walk They can say what they want Hell, let ’em talk

I’ve watched loud men fade fast When the room went dark Seen quiet ones keep moving Leave a lasting mark

I don’t need a crowd Don’t need to be right I just do what holds When the lights go white

If it don’t cost me sleep It don’t cost me breath

Let ’em talk Let it roll off I don’t carry what ain’t mine They can bark They can point They can waste their time I got miles in my rearview I got truth in my walk They can say what they want Hell, let ’em talk

I tried explaining That just fed the fire Now I let results Do the talking for me

Let ’em talk Let it echo I ain’t slowing my pace They can doubt They can laugh Say it to my face I don’t flinch I don’t fold I don’t need applause They can say what they want I’m still here That’s the cost

Let ’em talk.
