[Verse 1: Rihanna] I'm not concerned with people Who prey on the wealth of their fellow man (Oh yeah) 'Cause they only wanna know you and roll you Only for the things you have I just think it's so sad
[Chorus: Rihanna] Get dem haters out your circle (Haters) Smile in your face, but all they wanna do is bring you down (Bring you down, no, no) Down (Down, yeah) See dem try dem best to hurt you, they work you (Oh, they're gonna try) Anything to bring you down Down (Down)
[Chorus: Rihanna & Dwane Husbands] Get dem haters out your circle (Know they're gonna smile in your face) Smile in your face, but all they wanna do is bring you down (Bring you down) Down See dem try dem best to hurt you and work you (They try dem best, try dem best) Anything to bring you down (To bring you down) Down (Down) Get dem haters out your circle (Ooh) Smile in your face, but all they wanna do is bring you down (All they wanna do is bring you down) Down (Down, down, down) See dem try dem best to hurt you, they work you (You know they try) Anything to bring you down (Anything to bring you down) Down (Down)
[Bridge: Rihanna] You know they talk about you when they tell the lies So don't be fooled, you better recognize They're not there for you, they don't care for you Trust me 'cause I know it's true You know they smile in your face and make you think they're down But then they turn against you when you're not around It's just jealousy and dishonesty So hold on to your sanity
[Chorus: Rihanna] Get dem haters out your circle (Believe me when I tell you) Smile in your face, but all they wanna do is bring you down (No, no) Down (Down) See dem try dem best to hurt you, they work you Anything to bring you down (You know they wanna work you, bringin' you down, down) Down Get dem haters out your circle (Ooh) Smile in your face, but all they wanna do is bring you down (All they wanna do is bring you down) Down (I don't wanna bring you to the ground) See dem try dem best to hurt you, they work you (You know they try) Anything to bring you down Down (Down)
[Outro: Rihanna] You know they talk about you when they tell the lies So don't be fooled, you better recognize They're not there for you, they don't care for you Trust me 'cause I know it's true You know they smile in your face and make you think they're down But then they turn against you when you're not around It's just jealousy and dishonesty So hold on to your sanity
