Lyfe Jennings - People lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Mr. Marvin Gaye came to me

Just last night in a dream

Said he had a song for me

He never released, he would never mean to sing

And then I woke up this morning

There was a melody in my head

Hurried so I wouldn't forget it

I grabbed a pen and paper by the bed

Hummed it a couple of times until the words started making sense

Jotted down a couple of lines

I think it really looks something like this

(Chorus)

He said "People, times are changing"

He said "People, stop your complaining!"

Oh, "People, you gotta do something, to get something"

People, keep on playin' around, you gon' end up with nothing

(Verse 2)

Said have more than what you show

Speak less than what you know

You ain't got nothing good to say

Then keep your damn mouth closed

Be a man of your word

See it through to the end

If I God can't trust you with the smallest things

He'll never trust you with the big"

Remember hurt, people, wanna hurt people

And church people, are sometimes the worst people

So why people gotta know your worth people

To get what you deserve

(Chorus)

(Interlude)

People, I think the world is changing

You are what you think you are

Love is love, love is love
