Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From Bamenda, it's Libianca, oh
(Ayo, Mage, made a bang)
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 redAnd I don't smoke banga
Did you check on me? (Did you check on me?)
Now did you notice me?
Nobody will know the paranoia, oh
'Cause I put a smile on my face
A facade 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 for hold my headI say make you no leave me diko
Oh, Holy Father, yeah
Oh, make you try for understand
Yahoo girl no dey for here
'Cause you see people, people, people
People don't really know you (they don't really know)
They don't really know you (oh)
'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?
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?
The song "People" by Libianca is an emotional and poignant expression of loneliness, isolation, and desperation for connection. The lyrics describe Libianca's recent struggles with clinical depression and anxiety, as she copes with her difficult mental state through drinking and overthinking. She pleads with her friends and loved ones to check on her and notice her pain, even as she acknowledges that she prefers to be alone rather than surrounded by fake friends who don't truly care about her. The chorus repeats the question "Did you check on me?", as Libianca searches for human connection and support in the midst of her emotional turmoil.
The verses of the song delve deeper into Libianca's complex emotions, as she describes feeling like her own worst enemy and questioning her own sanity. She uses alcohol as a crutch to escape her pain and says that she can no longer depend on it, recognizing the damage it can do to her mental and physical health. She also mentions smoking weed, which she turns to in order to find peace, but ultimately acknowledges that she needs more than substances to overcome her struggles. Throughout the song, there is a sense of hopelessness and longing for someone to notice and understand Libianca's pain.
In summary, "People" is a raw and vulnerable expression of mental health struggles and the need for human connection and support. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of checking in on loved ones and being there for each other during difficult times.

Thank u Libianca for your beautiful voice n lyrics that define the moment in my life that words does not come to my being unless its through music.. ..
Thank you for believing in God ..
A higher power ..
That restoration n learning the emptiness flesh of creation can do n the fulfilling within me to love me is the journey i am in at this moment.
Been drinking, people dont know. ..
They dont check or notice me but yet they do ONLY through what i have to offer being my energy or the worldly blessings they have fed off of me..
While finding out after seizires, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism n depression n anxiety after my grandpa died..
Stole all my Guyanese Jewelry includin the memories of the love i wanted to give my 10month old son from his great grandfather..
Its a lonely world but the lonliness feels sooo intently boastly beautiful.. .
My son father is no where cause I refuse to be the eve who wants to give an Adam authority when he wants to n will take a fruit from me. .. before he became imperfect so he say to God n blame me.. . But blames God for me..
..
Blessings n love.. .
