## [Hook] *They gonna talk, they gonna lie* *They gonna try to make you cry* *But I got filters for my mind* *Truth from fiction, I will find* ## [Verse 1] Woke up to a thousand notifications Some with love, some with accusations Reading comments, separating fact from fiction While protecting my own mental jurisdiction Yeah, they said I did some things I never did But they also called me out on things I really did So I'm taking inventory of my soul Learning what to fix and what to hold Self-reflection in the mirror of opinion Not letting lies become my definition But if there's truth wrapped up in all that hate I'll take the lesson, leave the bait ## [Chorus] I love myself enough to listen When the criticism has a mission To help me grow and help me learn But I won't let my spirit burn From fabricated, calculated Lies designed to see me fall I'm filtering through all the noise Standing tall through it all *I'm filtering through all the noise* *Standing tall through it all* ## [Verse 2] Logic tells me that the haters and the lovers Both got something I should probably discover Some are jealous, some are genuine concern Some are lessons that I really need to learn Breaking down each piece of feedback analytically Is this rooted in reality or just designed to limit me? If it's helping me evolve then I'll receive it If it's tearing down my truth then I don't need it Building boundaries like I'm architecting My mental health while still self-reflecting Taking ownership where ownership is due But rejecting what ain't factually true ## [Chorus] I love myself enough to listen When the criticism has a mission To help me grow and help me learn But I won't let my spirit burn From fabricated, calculated Lies designed to see me fall I'm filtering through all the noise Standing tall through it all *I'm filtering through all the noise* *Standing tall through it all* ## [Bridge] *They want me broken, I stay whole* *They want me bitter, I choose soul* *They want me silent, I speak truth* *They want me aged, I stay youth* *Mental* *I'm discerning what is real from what is fiction* *Physical* *I'm protecting my energy from all affliction* *Spiritual* *I'm growing through the valid words of conviction* *But I'm not absorbing lies that bring restriction* ## [Verse 3] Yeah, I messed up, I admit it when I'm wrong That's what makes a person humble, makes them strong But I won't apologize for things I didn't do Won't let rumors overtake what I know to be true Confidence and growth can coexist Self-love and change are not dismissed I can love myself and still evolve Use criticism to help problems solve Without losing who I am at core Without believing lies that I abhor This is balance, this is wisdom This is how I build my kingdom ## [Chorus] I love myself enough to listen When the criticism has a mission To help me grow and help me learn But I won't let my spirit burn From fabricated, calculated Lies designed to see me fall I'm filtering through all the noise Standing tall through it all *I'm filtering through all the noise* *Standing tall through it all* ## [Verse 4] Now I got a system for the chaos and the chatter Separating what's constructive from what doesn't matter Building up my inner circle of the voices that I trust While dismissing all the poison and the digital dust Growth mindset with a backbone made of steel Open to the truth but protected from what isn't real This is emotional intelligence in action Self-preservation mixed with personal satisfaction That comes from knowing who you are Despite the noise both near and far I'm filtering, I'm growing, I'm becoming The best version while my haters keep on humming ## [Final Chorus] I love myself enough to listen When the criticism has a mission To help me grow and help me learn But I won't let my spirit burn From fabricated, calculated Lies designed to see me fall I'm filtering through all the noise Standing tall through it all *Standing tall through it all* *Standing tall through it all* ## [Outro Hook] *They gonna talk, they gonna lie* *They gonna try to make you cry* *But I got filters for my mind* *Truth from fiction, I will find* *Truth from fiction, I will find* *Truth from fiction...* [Quote] "If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it." - Epictetus
