Turn a deaf ear to the naysayers who discourage
Turn a deaf ear to the trash talkers who disparage
Turn a deaf ear to the character assassins who smear
Turn a deaf ear to the bullies who jibe and jeer
Turn a deaf ear to the manipulators who distort
Turn a deaf ear to the hecklers who retort
Turn a deaf ear to those who repeatedly attack
Turn a deaf ear to those who stab you in the back
Turn a deaf ear to those who taunt
While their own greatness they flaunt
For that’s the only thing they deserve, a deaf ear
