Mary J. Blige - 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
