[Intro] [Bouncy dancehall riddim kicks in, ad‑lib] [Ad‑lib:] ("Ya' done know... T.Y.S.O.N… Let It Die... Watch what yuh spread!) "Let It Go!" [Verse 1] Proverbs tell us seven things the Lord detest One a man who run around and stir up restlessness Chattin’ tales ‘bout the neighbour, spread the rumour wide Post it on the phone, turn the whole place upside‑side Some love the drama, love to fan the flame Feed on every slip, every fault, every shame But the Most High see it — He don’t want that kind of noise We build the community, we lift up the boys & girls, rejoice! [Chorus] If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! No more discord, no more lie Let the gossip fade — just let it die! If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! We stand united, head held high Let the gossip fade — just let it die! [Verse 2] When somebody fall, don’t run to tell the crew Don’t put their business out there for the world to view Not every secret’s meant for every ear to know Cover the fault, let the healing start to grow Some say “it’s just talk”, just a little chat But small talk turn big trouble, where the bad things at? Inna Birmingham city, we a build a better place Watch every word we speak, keep it clean in every case! [Chorus] If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! No more discord, no more lie Let the gossip fade — just let it die! If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! We stand united, head held high Let the gossip fade — just let it die! [Bridge] [prayer, flow softens then builds back into riddim] Father, thank You for such a clear word of warning To guard my words against sowing discord and division Thank You for all the people You have placed in my life To love and to serve and support them in every way that I can Help me to let any gossip or damaging information about others die within me In Jesus’ Name... [Vocal Snap] "Amen!" [Verse 3] So we lock down the rumours, shut the gossip gate Walk the honourable path, keep our mind straight We no be busy‑body runnin’ ‘round to tell We lift each other up, we do it well When the riddim play, we party safe and sound Unity a the vibe all around the town Remember the word, remember the sign Let the bad talk die — let the good shine! [Chorus] If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! No more discord, no more lie Let the gossip fade — just let it die! If yuh hear a bad word, don’t pass it by Keep it in yuh heart — just let it die! We stand united, head held high Let the gossip fade — just let it die! [Outro] [Riddim fades, ad‑lib] No Long Ting' about it... Let it die… T.Y.S.O.N [END]
