HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK #178/ PEOPLE (CHECK ON ME) BY LIBIANCA/ COVERED BY SLEEMFIT✨. [ENG-ESP]

Hello Hive Open Mic family, it's week #178 of our weekly concert and for me it's always a privilege to share music with you guys here. The support and love is always massive, that I don't take for granted. For this week's theme "People" as selected by recent spotlight artiste, a vocal powerhouse and my friend 🤍 @benii, I'd be performing a song by Cameroonian-American singer Libianca which is titled "People (Check On Me)".

The song talks about depression and how people think you're doing just fine, just because you wear a smile on your face, dress well and look good...but that doesn't mean you're really doing good. People don't see beyond the smile, all they see is the outward appearance, they don't know what you're going through and just assume you're doing just fine without actually asking if you're alright. This song is really relatable in our daily lives, everyone is going through stuff they don't talk about but then, we all have like an escape to get our minds off things. For Libianca it's alcohol, she's been drinking alcohol for the past five days and nobody even cared to check on her or look for her. Even doing things she doesn't do normally but nobody notices because they believe she can't do such instead of paying attention to the little details.

People don't really know you but they think they do. All they see is what they believe is going on in your life. No one notices your absence or even bothers to check on you...and for some reasons those are the people we call friends. But really it's not about the quantity but the quality of people in our lives that matter. Those who really care would check on you and notice you but in the absence of that, keep going, keep trying. Don't let what you're going through get you in into depression, protect your mental health because at the end of the day You're all you've got. People don't really know you, they just believe that when you put a smile on your face, look good...then you have no problems.

I do hope you enjoy 🎧 my cover of this beautiful song, let me know what you think of my cover in the comment section..Blessings always 🙏

LYRICS
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Mhmm, mhmm
From Bamenda, it's Libianca
Oh-oh (A-yo, Mage, it's yo' beat)

I've been drinking more alcohol for the past five days
Did you check on me?
Now, did you look for me?
I walked in the room, eyes are red and I don't smoke banga
Did you check on me? (Did you check on me?)
Now, did you notice me?

Nobody wey know the paranoia oh
'Cause I put a smile on my face
A façade you can never face (Ooh)
And if you don't know me well, well, oh
You won't see how buried I am inside my grave
Inside my grave

'Cause you see people, people, people, people
Don't really know you
They don't really know you
'Cause you see people, people, people
They don't really know you
They don't really know—

I've been drinking more alcohol for the past five days
Did you check on me?
Now, did you look for me?
I walked in the room, eyes are red and I don't smoke banga
Did you check on me? (Did you check on me?)
Now, did you notice me?

Oh, holy father
Oh, holy father, I dey try fo hold my head
I say make you no leave me diko
Oh, holy father (Yeah-yeah)
Oh, make you try fo understand
Yahoo girl no dey for here

'Cause you see people, people, people, people
Don't really know you (They don't really know you)
They don't really know you
'Cause you see people, people, people
They don't really know you (Mmm)
They don't really know—

I've been drinking more alcohol for the past five days
Did you check on me?
Now, did you look for me?
I walked in the room, eyes are red and I don't smoke banga
Did you check on me? (Did you check on me?)
Now, did you notice me?
I've been drinking more alcohol for the past five days
Did you check on me?
Now, did you look for me?
I walked in the room, eyes are red and I don't smoke banga
Did you check on me? (Did you check on me?)
Now, did you notice me?

I've been drinking more alcohol for the past five days
Did you check on me?

Hola familia de Hive Open Mic, es la semana #178 de nuestro concierto semanal y para mí siempre es un privilegio compartir música con ustedes aquí. El apoyo y el amor son siempre enormes, eso no lo doy por sentado. Para el tema de esta semana, "People", seleccionado por un artista destacado reciente, una potencia vocal y mi amigo 🤍 @benii, interpretaría una canción de la cantante camerunesa-estadounidense Libianca que se titula "People (Check On Me)".

La canción habla sobre la depresión y cómo la gente piensa que te va bien, sólo porque tienes una sonrisa en la cara, te vistes bien y te ves bien... pero eso no significa que realmente te vaya bien. La gente no ve más allá de la sonrisa, todo lo que ven es la apariencia exterior, no saben por lo que estás pasando y simplemente asumen que estás bien sin preguntarte si estás bien. Esta canción es realmente identificable en nuestra vida diaria, todos estamos pasando por cosas de las que no hablamos, pero todos tenemos un escape para distraernos de las cosas. Para Libianca es alcohol, lleva cinco días bebiendo alcohol y nadie se preocupó siquiera de vigilarla ni de buscarla. Incluso haciendo cosas que ella no hace normalmente pero nadie se da cuenta porque creen que no puede hacerlas en lugar de prestar atención a los pequeños detalles.

La gente realmente no te conoce, pero creen que sí. Todo lo que ven es lo que creen que está sucediendo en tu vida. Nadie nota tu ausencia ni se molesta en ver cómo estás... y por algunas razones, esas son las personas a las que llamamos amigos. Pero en realidad lo que importa no es la cantidad sino la calidad de las personas en nuestras vidas. Aquellos a quienes realmente les importas te vigilarán y se fijarán en ti, pero en ausencia de eso, sigue adelante, sigue intentándolo. No dejes que lo que estás pasando te lleve a la depresión, protege tu salud mental porque al final del día eres todo lo que tienes. La gente realmente no te conoce, simplemente creen que cuando pones una sonrisa en tu cara, te ves bien... entonces no tienes problemas.

Espero que disfrutes 🎧 mi cover de esta hermosa canción, déjame saber qué piensas de mi cover en la sección de comentarios... Bendiciones siempre 🙏

LETRA
Oh oh oh oh
Mmm, mmm
De Bamenda, es Libianca
Oh-oh (A-yo, mago, es tu ritmo)

He estado bebiendo más alcohol durante los últimos cinco días.
¿Me revisaste?
Ahora, ¿me buscaste?
Entré a la habitación, los ojos están rojos y no fumo banga
¿Me revisaste? (¿Me revisaste?)
Ahora, ¿te fijaste en mí?

Nadie conoce la paranoia oh
Porque puse una sonrisa en mi cara
Una fachada que nunca podrás enfrentar (Ooh)
Y si no me conoces bien, bueno, oh
No verás lo enterrado que estoy dentro de mi tumba.
Dentro de mi tumba

Porque ves gente, gente, gente, gente.
Realmente no te conozco
Realmente no te conocen
Porque ves gente, gente, gente
Realmente no te conocen
Realmente no lo saben

He estado bebiendo más alcohol durante los últimos cinco días.
¿Me revisaste?
Ahora, ¿me buscaste?
Entré a la habitación, los ojos están rojos y no fumo banga
¿Me revisaste? (¿Me revisaste?)
Ahora, ¿te fijaste en mí?

Oh santo padre
Oh, santo padre, intento sostener mi cabeza
Yo digo que no me dejes diko
Oh, santo padre (Sí-sí)
Oh, haz que intentes entender
Chica de Yahoo, no dey por aquí.

Porque ves gente, gente, gente, gente.
Realmente no te conozco (Ellos realmente no te conocen)
Realmente no te conocen
Porque ves gente, gente, gente
Realmente no te conocen (Mmm)
Realmente no lo saben

He estado bebiendo más alcohol durante los últimos cinco días.
