[spoken word intro] the only thing I hope this song does is bring people together be there for your friends like you wish they were there for you really could change somebody's life by making their day or you just might be f****** annoying but at least you did your part check on your people [Verse 1] I see you Bro You doing okay? That tight little grin giving it away I know that fake smile I wore it last May Saying “I’m fine” when my chest said “break” I see you Sister You alright? Your laugh got a crack hiding in the light Heard that same sound on my hardest nights Playing the clown just to stay upright [Chorus] Check on your people You never really know What kind of demons They’re wrestling on the low Only takes a second To be somebody’s hero for the day A simple “hello How you doing?” Can really turn the whole thing around When they’re going through it (yeah, it all starts now) [Verse 2] Little “you good?” in the grocery line Text at 2am “I’m here Take your time” Grab two coffees Sit and share the quiet Sometimes just a shoulder keeps a heart from sliding We all got storms that we don’t name Smile for the photo Drown in the frame So if you feel a tremble hiding in their joke Lean in a little closer That word might be their rope [Chorus] Check on your people You never really know What kind of demons They’re wrestling on the low Only takes a second To be somebody’s hero for the day A simple “hello How you doing?” Can really turn the whole thing around When they’re going through it (hey, just reach out) [Bridge] Who checked on you When you barely made it through? Be that voice That little light For somebody tonight [Chorus] Check on your people You never really know What kind of demons They’re wrestling on the low Only takes a second To be somebody’s hero for the day A simple “hello How you doing?” Can really turn the whole thing around When they’re going through it (yeah, we’ll get through it) When they’re going through it (check on your people today)
