Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah - People lyrics

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

Listen, money crimes and mood swings
Situations where certain people
Will do things
Like hop on bandwagon, get on the food chain
Soon as you get yo swag
That's when yo crew change

But we all equal and people are just people
Leave it in God's hands 'cause
The devil is lethal
You get what you earn also
You live and you learn
To expect nothing in return

Do what you do from the heart then move on
'Cause in the eyes of the ungrateful
You can do wrong
That's when the negative energy
Gets too strong
The sunshine leaves, in comes the true storm

Sometimes make you wanna do harm
But you fall back 'cause you too calm
To get all rowdy and evil 'cause you realize
At the end of the day they just people
People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

The bad ones discourage
The good ones motivate
The weak shall perish
The haters going show they hate
As long as you know what you dealing with
You can close the gate
Never let them in yo world
Till you know they straight

'Cause then again they just people
Life's just a one stop deal
There's no sequel
Fake ones are so transparent
And so see through
Love ones can be so humble when they need you

Some got they hands out even
After you feed 'em
But they ain't never around
When you need 'em
That's when yo thoughts get evil
But then you realize they just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people
People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

Ayo, I got a lot more living
To do before I leave here
'Cause I'm blessed and I'm thankful and
I'm happy to be here
In good health with good wealth
You could always use help
But all you really got is yo good self

Still what I go through
It hurts when people that know you
Let you down and don't hold you
But yo mistakes will teach you
'Cause then you realize they just people

Ohh people, ohh people, ohh, ohh
Ohh people, ohh people, ohh, ohh
Don't you worry about a
Thing they just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people
People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people

People gonna let you down
Don't expect for them to be around
They're just people
