Filter in You see, I can’t understand why sometimes, some people want to… you know talk you down. You see, I don’t know if it’s because they don’t feel really themselves and they want to make everybody feel really bad too I tell myself, I’m going to be bold and I won’t listen to any of such talks and be myself when ever I come out to do whatever I want to do …but sometimes they just flow in gradually… gradually! Gradually!! Oh gradually but you see Ah hm when people start talking All thee drowning talking I know I shouldn’t even be listening But I, sometimes fine myself listening When they come saying what they’re thinking and even as I try hard to ignore it It just build up, on and on in me Well sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in All these unkind words yeah Sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in I gat to pull them out Even when I say talk to the hand And I say words don’t break me no They’re mere words They won’t even hurt me yea But I find at the end they leave some trace in me I know when I stand up hold my head up high I tell myself the right things And try to mix with the people who celebrate me I find I’m strong, confident and I build myself Oh Well, sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in All these unkind words sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in Sometimes they’ll filter in I gat to pull them out (till end Oh I can’t let it bring me down no Not anymore, I am strong and I’m a winner I know you’re putting me down Because you know I’m better than you I can’t take no bullying No, I’m stronger, I’m stronger, I’m stronger I’m gonna move on No… no I’m not going to let you bring me down no Oh no, I won’t let it filter in I’ll block your unkind words I’ll tell myself where I want to go, where I want to be I’m a human being I am strong now like everybody else You can’t bring me down Oh bully, I’m stronger than you Yea! yea!!
