People

(专辑： Tree Of Lyfe - 2015)

Mister Marvin Gaye came to me
Just last night in a dream
Said he had a song for me he never released
He would like for me 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 the pen and paper by the bed
Hummed it a couple of times
Until the words start making sense
Jotting down a couple of lines
I think it went a little something like this

He said, people, times are changing
He said, people, stop your complaining
Oh, people, you gotta give something to get something
People, he wasn't playing around
You gonna end up with nothing

Said, have more than what you show
Speak less than what you know
If you ain't got nothing good to say
Then keep your damn mouth closed
Be a man of you word, see it through 'til the end
If 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 work, people, gotta know your worth, people
To get what you deserve

He said, people, times are changing
He said, people, stop your complaining
Oh, people, you gotta give something to get something
Better stop playing around
Before you wind up with nothing
La, la, la, la

People, I think the world's changing
You are what you think you are
Love is love, love is love
