People Who Need People - Funky DL, Stee Moglie

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)
