Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me can I take you out and
Can I touch you like dis
Can I move my tongue around
Can I lick you like dis
Can I show you how I'm comin
Am I ona top of ya list
People Change
People Change
Aye, yeah yeah yeah
Say it's all about forgiveness
Confusion be my witness
I'm studying and growin
And trying to make a living
Not trying to earn a living
My hard work paid off
In my past life
I was hurt
Imagine if it happened all again
Like a church
I'm teaching
An I'm preaching
An I'm hoping it would work
Free em out da mental chains
Change I exert
Pain after change turn to gain
Gotta work
Cause,
People Change
Aye, yea yea yea
People Change
Aye, yea yea yea
She like hola cómo estás
Muy bien
She say I'm too fine
So she had to bring her friend
Took her out to my terraza
Say mi casa su casa
Say I'm flyer than NASA
Super rare I'm escasa
In the sky escaping all these
False realities
I'm fighting deities
Ain't nobody close to me
They energy enter me
Making entities enemies
So I tell the inner me
Cause,
People Change
Aye, yea yea yea
People Change
Aye, yea yea yea
People Change
Bi.Ba's song People is a critique of the superficiality of plastic culture, specifically the music industry and celebrity culture. The song focuses on the "plastik people" - those who are carefully crafted to fit into the mold that society deems desirable. The lyrics describe these people as being the "stars of the screen," frequently seen posing in magazines with synchronized movements. Despite their orchestrated appearances, the singer notes that these individuals are impossible to avoid on a Friday night.
The second verse of the song further criticizes the superficiality and artificiality of the "plastik people." The singer introduces the idea of a "t.v man," who claims that the plastik people will "go far" thanks to their record deal and new sports car. However, the singer questions the appearance of the plastik people and wonders if they have any "hair out of place" under their plastered-on smiles.
Overall, Bi.Ba's song People is a commentary on the dangers of valuing and striving for a certain appearance or lifestyle simply because it is deemed desirable by society. The song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and reject the notion that they must fit into a pre-determined mold.
