I was just feeling this song, so I just thought I would share.

There are some people in my neighbourhood
believe me they're no dog gone good
They try to keep me down
Shame on them oh lord
And if I let them be
I know I'll never be free

They've got no inspiration
My business is their only occupation
They are so unkind
But I won't let them blow my mind, no

They talk about the food I eat
The old shoes on my tired feet
They even criticize the way I keep my hair
But they must realize that won't get them anywhere
'Cause I am what I want to be
And I rule, I rule my destiny

My life is my own
Why don't you leave my business alone?

Oh yeah
just leave me be
It's my own

They talk about the food I eat
The old shoes on my tired feet
They even criticize the way I keep my hair
But they must realize that won't get them anywhere
'Cause I am what I want to be
And I rule, I rule my destiny
