Lyrics

PPL

[Intro: DRAM]

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else

People just hurt people 'cause they wеre hurt by someone еlse

[Verse 1: DRAM]

Goin' through hardships

Similar setbacks, that's from years ago

Way too much free time, in the meantime

Durin' me time, might explode

I had to rewind for a decline, chuck the peace sign, now I'm piecin'

You can call it what you want and I'm just callin' it how I see it

Takin' it easy ain't an option, I got options I can choose from

I can move one via Uber while I call Lyft to pick you up

Guess I can really maneuver, but you move more sneaky

You can call it what you want, but I'm callin' it how I see it

[Pre-Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid]

She was too good to have for myself

Just found out I was sharin' her with somebody else, oh

[Chorus: DRAM, BJ the Chicago Kid, Both]

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else (Ooh)

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else (Yeah)

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else

[Verse 2: DRAM]

Dealin' with heartbreaks like dealin' a bad hand to your own self

I was naïve to ever believe that you would believe in anyone else

Let alone me

So misleadin'

You can call it what you want, but I'm callin' it how I see it

And I've seen enough to know I'm done

Bein' your personal punching bag

Constantly beatin' down my back and it fucks me up

But you keep callin' my phone like you need me

I be callin' you out your name, if I'm callin' it how I see you

[Pre-Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid & DRAM]

She was too good to have for myself (Way too good to have for myself)

Just found out I was sharin' her with somebody else, oh

[Chorus: DRAM & BJ the Chicago Kid, DRAM]

People just hurt people

Yeah

People just hurt people

Yeah

People just hurt people

Ooh, yeah

People just hurt people 'cause they were hurt by someone else

[Outro: DRAM & BJ the Chicago Kid]

La-la-la
