People by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Intro]
People have a funny way of bein' funny
'Til they see the other side of the coin, and it's money
And I used to be them, no root, all stem
[Verse 1]
Are you person one? Always think the purse you've won?
Stubborn son, you're no fun, forcin' people with your ways to just be done
You're like givin' a kid a gun, of you I'm havin' none, and no longer will I be spun
Your unwillingness is the sinkin' ship that you love
And I know you can hear me loud and clear you fit the glove
Hope you rise above, but you're thе first who's doomed to repeat
You keep achiеvin' the feat and now you need a shove
[Chorus]
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they get a whiff of the tree and they taste the honey
And I used to be them, no root, all stem, but I'm grounded now and those are ways that I condemn
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they see the other side of the coin, and it's money
And I used to be them, no root, all stem, but I fully trust the journey and I'm dreamin' REM
[Verse 2]
Hey person two, tell me what's the harm in you, bein' a little more open with those that you hold true, well this is your cue
You ain't the only one with shit to do, quit makin' hard on you just try bein' honest and start treatin' all of this anew
Ain't gotta lie, tell me why you glare at the sky when it comes to truth don't give it to 'em wry, honesty is key to u-n-i-f-y
Yea take it from this guy, just start bein' real and fly to your life's appeal, up high to the great big pie to seal your final deal
[Chorus]
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they get a whiff of the tree and they taste the honey
And I used to be them, no root, all stem, but I'm grounded now and those are ways that I condemn
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they see the other side of the coin, and it's money
And I used to be them, no root, all stem, but I fully trust the journey and I'm dreamin' REM
[Verse 3]
Person three, you're the favorite one to be, trapped like rats in a cage but beginning to see
That your life isn't defined by material or titles, the work is serial, needin' recitals for mind imperial
Uh, technology's powerful if it don't have power over you use it to scour for ways to better you for more than an hour
Focus, cause it can devour you and sour you when it should empower you, not numb or cower you
[Pre]
Or dumbin' down you
Quit slummin' down you
Quit dumbin' down you
Quit slumber now you, quit slumber now you
[Chorus 2]
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they get a whiff of the tree and they taste the honey
People have a funny way of bein' funny, 'til they see the other side of the coin and the money
And I used to be them, no root, all stem, but I'm grounded now that a different way has resounded within
And now I avow to fully trust and allow the honest path to guide the journey that now holds my vow
People have a funny way of bein' funny
'Til they see the other side of the coin, and it's money
And I used to be them, no root, all stem
[Verse 1]
