I got Queen Latifahs new album, she rocks....but this one song reminds me of how I should live my life, because there's "People" that will tear you down in an instant, if you don't give them what they want or play to their tune. This is how i feel about a few close people, well they used to be.

I can't find the proper lyrics, but the youtube vid has some lyrics which i find are the actual ones, different slightly from the ones below

oooh mmmm

[chorus]
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to be around
theyre just people x2
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to hold you down
theyre just people x2

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 swagg
thats when yo crew change
but we all equal
and people are just people
leave it in God's hands
cuz 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
and then move on
cuz in the eyes of the ungrateful
you can do wrong
thats when the negative energy
gets to strong
the sunshine leaves
in comes the true storm
sometimes make you wanna do harm
but you fall back cuz you too calm
to get all rowdy and evil
cuz you relize at the end of the day
they just people

[chorus]
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to be around
theyre just people x2
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to hold you down
theyre just people x2

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
huh cuz 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 aint ever around when you need em
thats when yo thoughts get evil
but then you rellize they just people

[chorus]
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to be around
theyre just people x2
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to hold you down
theyre just people x2

ay yo i got alot more living to do
before i leave here
cuz im blessed and im thankful
and im 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 dont hold you
but yo mistakes will teach you
cuz then you relize
they just people

ooo peoplex2
oooox2
ooo peoplex2
ooox2
dont you worry about a thing
they just people

[chorus]
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to be around
theyre just people x2
people going to let you down
dont expect for them to hold you down
theyre just people x2
