[Verse 1: Nico]
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 'em 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 a king and the queen
And we would have a little princess or prince
We would never have felt more free

[Chorus: Vinz]
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 and we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me

[Verse 2: Vinz]
Here comes another Friday (Friday)
I haven't had work in weeks
I just wanna make a living (Living)
And I promise I wouldn't need the sleep
If I could work every day, work every day
Work every day
Oh no, work every day, work every day, work every day
I, I'd even work at night
I'd never take a day off rest of my life
I would send the kids to school, make sure they're alright
And make sure they're better than I, better than
[Chorus: Vinz]
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 and we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me
'Cause people will always be people to me

[Interlude]
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

[Chorus: Vinz]
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 and we do right
Yeah, we do wrong and do right
'Cause people will always be people to me
[Outro: Vinz]
People are people, that's all I know
People are people, that's all I know
Hey, 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

That's all I know
