EVERYBODY

[Lead:] If it ain't for me, I don't care about it

[Response] Don't care about it

[Response] Not worried 'bout it

Used to pick up every phone that rang my line

Late night talks, giving all my time

Heart wide open, never read the signs

Thought every smile had a soul behind

Carried weight that was never mine

Trying to heal every troubled mind

Learned the hard way walking through this life

Not every handshake comes with light

Some wear halos, some wear lies

Some shake hands with hidden knives

Now I see it with clearer eyes

Peace is something I prioritize

[Lead:] I'm not for everybody, I'm not everybody's cup of tea

[Response] Not everybody

[Lead:] Won't answer the call or text for everybody

[Response] Not everybody

[Lead:] Everybody wears a mask of some sort

Even when they say they support

[Lead:] Even if I wanna help out everybody

Quit trying to please everybody

[Lead:] Grandma always said you can't befriend everybody

[Response] Not everybody

[Lead:] I always got love for everybody

But the fact remains everybody the same

[Lead:] I don't have time for everybody

Everybody always playing them games

[Lead:] I don't got time for everybody

Everybody, everybody

Everybody… everybody

[Lead:] If it ain't for me, I don't care about it

[Response] Don't care about it

Used to think kindness meant saying yes

Let people drain what was left in my chest

Now I move different, learned to protect

The peace in my soul and the life I reflect

Some come close but they fade away

True colors show in the light of day

Circle small but my heart still big

Just not giving my energy the way I did

Some ride with you, some just pretend

Some only call when they need a friend

Now I know where the boundaries bend

And where my loyalty needs to end

[Lead: ] I'm not for everybody, I'm not everybody's cup of tea

[Response] Not everybody

[[Lead:] Won't answer the call or text for everybody

[Response] Not everybody

[Lead:] Everybody wears a mask of some sort

Even when they say they support

[Lead:] Even if I wanna help out everybody

Quit trying to please everybody

[Lead] Grandma always said you can't befriend everybody

Response: Not everybody

[Lead] I always got love for everybody

But the fact remains everybody the same

[Lead] I don't have time for everybody

Everybody always playing them games

[Lead] I don't got time for everybody

Everybody, everybody

Everybody… everybody

[Lead] If it ain't for me, I don't care about it

[Response] Don't care abou

I tried to save the world with a heart too wide

But the strongest souls learn when to step aside

Love ain't weakness, it's power inside

But wisdom decides who gets the ride

Outro – Spoken Word

people come and go.

People are like leaves on a tree.

They fall off when they can't weather the storm.

But me?

I'm the root. I'm the anchor.
