Song lyrics
[Nelly:]
What to say, what to say, what to say 
What to say, what to say, what to say 

You speak out, all you feel is defiance 
All you need is some self reliance 
Cuz this world is gonna always try us 
And all you wanted was to run for cover 
And who's looking for yourself and no other
We're all searching for that special something 
And we keep on runnin'

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow 
I want to feel the light shine on me 

[chorus:]
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz this song is strong enough 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
You're gonna (goin to) break so please dont do it 

You wanna spread your wings but you're not sure 
Dont wanna leave your comfort jus wanna find a cure 
We afraid of who we see in the mirror 
We wanna let go but it feels too pure 
Who wants to be alone in this world 
You look around and all you see is hurt 
But the light it always finds us 
If it moved with a little trust 

We all have the choice to take the lead or follow 
I want to feel the light shine on me 

[chorus:]
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz this song is strong enough 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
You're gonna (goin to) break so please dont do it 

[Attitude:]
And now I know to define what shine is
I don't need a Rolex to what the time is 
You got yours lemme find what mines is 
I'm a survivor 
Look how strong my mind is 
I stand on my own 
It's all me 
Regardless 
So wherever they call me 
I'm a leader not a follower 
And I'd rather be paid and popular 
Grind homie, get your dollars on 
We in the belly of the beast 
That already swallowed us 

[Nelly:]
It's the end of the world and we know it 
It's the end of the world
And we know it 

[chorus:]
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz this song is strong enough 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
You're gonna (goin to) break so please dont do it

[Children:]
So afraid of what people might say 

[Nelly:]
Yes 

[Children:]
So afraid of what people might say 

[Nelly:]
Yes 

[Children:]
So afraid of what people might say 

[Nelly:]
Yes, yes 

[Children:]
So afraid of what people might say 

[Nelly:]
Yes 

[Children and Nelly:]
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz this song is strong enough 
So afraid of what people might say 
But thats all ok cuz you're only human 
So afraid of what people might say 
You're gonna break so please dont do it 

[Nelly:]
They're laughing so I guess I'll listen

I bought this CD the Friday of the week it came out (it was on sale) and it was my first CD of Nelly Furtado I had ever bought. The only 2 songs by her that I'd heard before getting this CD were "I'm Like a Bird," which I didn't like very much, and "Fotografia" by Juanes featuring her, which me and my sister loved. (I'm Hispanic.) But I was pleasantly surprised by the CD, and I really like this song because the lyrics are true!!

This song is hot. She has been very good since Timbaland became her producer.

i don't like the "it's the end of the world and we know it" part because nelly sounds way too nasally.

but besides that, the vocals are fine and i like the lyrics. a lot.

this song's lyrics have never hit me harder than they do now.
