Lyrics People Who Need People - Funky DL, Stee Moglie

People Who Need People

But first be a person who needs people, people who need people
Be a person who needs people, people who need people
Check it, I feel like a wandering soul, a Nomad
Cos when I’m relying on people I find it goes bad
So try and keep myself to myself
I’m self sufficient and never find myself depending on no one else
I’ve seen em' let me down
I’ve seen em' talk a good game and say they in my corner
Yo but when I turn around, it must have been a hoax
Cos I don’t see nothing there unless this is the time they wearing invisible
cloaks
They said they had my back
But every time I was in trouble they would «walk on by» like Burt Bacharach
«I say a little prayer» and just wait a little later
But when I check the data there ain’t nothing on the paper
They say love thy neighbour
But when I get to know em' and just peel away the layers
I’m the MVP, the most valuable player
Until somebody told me I should really just be a person who needs pe…
But first be a person who needs people, people who need people
Be a person who needs people, people who need people
They say no man’s an island
And people really need communities that they can thrive in
Cos the animals that stay in a pack keep on surviving
But I love the way I’m living my life, I keep it private
And my blood pressure’s lower when I stay away from others
I don’t wanna live a life in which my peace of mind suffers
So I’m gonna keep my distance like, «no these ain’t my Cousins»
I know I said they was, but for real they really wasn’t, but don’t get offended
I’d rather keep it real on my own than be pretending that I’m the most sociable
soul
It’s condescending, so I’mma' take a step back and cancel my participation
No need to worry bout' me, I am good in isolation
And don’t be looking at me funny like I’m losing it
I’m choosing this although you disapprove of it
Assuming it’s the right way to go
But I know you’re gonna tell me I should just be a person who needs people
But first be a person who needs people, people who need people
Be a person who needs people, people who need people
Yo', I need you and then I don’t need you
But first be a person who needs people, people who need people
Be a person who needs people, people who need people
People who need people
Oh people, people who need pe… (sigh)
