I don't care what people think about me.
I don't care what people say about me.
With all of my haters yet still I rise,
I wanna thank you cause I recognize; without you I wouldn't be relevant,
Because of you I know I'm heaven sent.

There was a time I use to want everybody to love me,
and there was a time when I used to wear my feelings
On my sleeve, but that never got me anywhere.
I had to learn that life just ain't fair. I took the highs and the lows,
The bumps in the road now ain't nothing gettin' in the way of my flow.

I don't care what people think about me.
I don't care what people say about me.
With all of my haters yet still I rise,
I wanna thank you cause I recognize; without you I wouldn't be relevant,
Because of you I know I'm heaven sent.

If I'd known half of the things that I know now,
If I'd known, if I'd known I woulda never lost focus
But I gotta say that I'm
Wiser now. When I look back all I can say is wow.
And If you ask me I can tell you how to walk around with a priceless smile.

I don't care what people think about me.
I don't care what people say about me.
With all of my haters yet still I rise,
I wanna thank you cause I recognize; without you I wouldn't be relevant,
Because of you I know I'm heaven sent.

Listen to me, people tend to duplicate what they see
and What they don't know is image isn't what they should strive for instead
Not choose to follow what they see in magazines and
on TV, but I'm a live right and stay in this fight
because after all this is my life.

I don't care what people think about me.
I don't care what people say about me.
With all of my haters yet still I rise,
I wanna thank you cause I recognize; without you I wouldn't be relevant,
Because of you I know I'm heaven sent.
