Tell me something I don’t already know
I know that you can’t stand these things
I’m preaching in the streets
But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see so I don’t mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I’m not about to stop or even change my ways

Chorus
There’s nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There’s nothing you can do
To shut me up (to shut me out) when I’m speaking the truth

You may not like all I have to say
But you can’t prove that everything
Is filled with empty words
I know my life and inside how I’ve changed
A testimony to the truth I speak, so I don’t mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I’m not about to stop or even change my ways
