Lyrics

They Say

[Part I]

[Verse 1: Syd tha Kyd]

They say that every day is a struggle and it takes time

But do they, do they have a clue?

How do I, do I tell the truth from a lie now?

They're trying to say hello, it's goodbye tomorrow

Throw a little weed up in the bowl... and you'll be all right

You'll be all right

[Pre-Chorus: Syd tha Kyd]

Just think if things were perfect

Would it be worth it if even at all

So don't act like you can't take it

You were meant to be greatness

You can weather the storm

[Chorus: Syd tha Kyd & Tay Walker]

I know how easy, it is to give up

But don't let people hold you down

And I know sometimes it'll amaze you (it'll amaze you)

Don't let it faze you, just hold your ground

They say, they say hmmm

They say, they say hmmm

They say, they say hmmm

[Verse 2: Tay Walker]

Oh, oh, why do we judge those we don't know

There's no need to hide, tou know what's inside

What do we hate when there is love to spare

Why don't we understand

That the only way to grow is with love

[Pre-Chorus: Syd tha Kyd]

Just think if things were perfect

Would it be worth it if even at all

So don't act like you can't take it

You were meant to be greatness

You can weather the storm

[Chorus: Syd tha Kyd & Tay Walker]

I know how easy, it is to give up

But don't let people hold you down!

And I know sometimes it'll amaze you (it'll amaze you)

Don't let it faze you, hold your ground (hold your ground)

They say they say, they say they say, they say they say

[Part II: Shangri-La]

[Syd tha Kyd]

Yeah, yeah, try and try it again

Try and try it again, try and try it again

Try and try it again, try and try it again
