Stix and Stones

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
No you just can't hurt me
No you just can't hurt me, no

Sticks and stones may break my bone
But your words can't hurt me
No, you just can't hurt me
No

I ain't been right more than I been wrong
And it still can't hurt me (hurt me)
No, it just can't hurt me
No

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
No, you just can't hurt (hurt me)
No, you just can't hurt me
No, no

I know it's hard to be polite and it's easy being petty
My momma used to tell me "God will use you when He ready"
Man, it's crazy how my brother Ceddy could have been my cellie
It's either prison or a grave that's what everybody tell me

Man life ain't a beach it's a female dog
I'm staying ten toes down, though I still might fall
Oh yeah, now I done came through knocking pictures off your wall
Cause loving people who persecute you (yeah)
Is still a tough call

So be a light upon my path and a lamp under my feet
I know my faith strong but my flesh still kind of weak
When that victory be looking like the verge of defeat
And I feel that disrespect
Help me turn my other cheek and say

Sticks and stones may break my bone
But your words can't hurt me (oh no they can't hurt me)
No, you just can't hurt me (you just can't hurt me)
No

I ain't been right more than I been wrong
And it still can't hurt me (oh no they can't hurt me)
No, it just can't hurt me (you just)
No (can't hurt me)

No, you just can't hurt me
No, you just can't hurt me
No, oh-oh-oh

See it's hard to be polite (uh-huh)
It's easy being petty (that's right)
Momma used to tell me "God'll use you when He ready" (He'll use you)
Cause I ain't working on my own timing (nuh-huh)
Ain't got no diamonds on me but I stay shining (bling)
Yeah, yea

They say the world will be a better place if we take out the hate
(Just stop all the hate right now)
Yea, uh
Let's keep it real it'd be better if we just subtract the fake
(All you fake people)
Yeah

So be a light upon my path and a lamp under my feet (my feet)
I know my faith strong but my flesh still kind of weak (that's right)
When that victory be
Looking like the verge of defeat (looking, looking)
And I feel that disrespect
Help me turn my other cheek and say

Sticks and stones (sticks and stones)
May break my bone (break my bone)
But your words can't hurt me (oh no they can't hurt me)
