If everybody were poor
We would all be rich
If everybody up on this Earth were poor
We would all be rich
If I had no work I would enjoy life
I would put my family first
I would spend some time with my baby
I would love them more and more
If I was poor
I'd cut down trees to build my roof, I'd
Hunt in the forest
Get my fish from the ocean
Yeah, and we would live like the king and the queen
And we would have a little princess or prince
We would never have felt more free oh yo

People, people

Will always be people to me
Yeah, we do wrong, we do right
Yeah, we do wrong then we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me

Oh no, work everyday, work everyday, work everyday

I would send the kids to school, make sure they're alright
And make sure they're better than I, better than

Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me

J'peux jamais oublier cette année au pays
Ma Côte d'Ivoire
On avait pas beaucoup mais
On était content, quoi
Ça m'a appris de ne pas me plaindre
Et d'être bien avec qui je suis
Nous sommes que des hommes
On est tous pareils
On fait du bien et puis on fait du mal
Mais c'est ton choix

People, people
Will always be people to me
Yeah, people, people
Will always be people to me
Yeah, we do wrong, we do right
Yeah, we do wrong then we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me

People are people that's all I know
People are people that's all I know
People are people that's all I know
People are people that's all I know
And people will be, and people they are
And people are people that's all I know
Oh no no, that's all I know
My Mama's wrong, that's all I know
