by JSWISS

about

For the 4th installment of his Bandcamp-hosted "First Thursdays" series, JSWISS delivers a PSA of sorts over breezy production from frequent collaborator Paul Bloom, reminding listeners to check in on that friend that seems to have it all together.

lyrics

Chorus:
Check up on your strong friend,
Hold up wait a minute check up on your strong friend (repeat)

Hold up wait a minute check up on your strong friend
They might not be saying nothing the candle on both ends,
Burning and they be typing they problems but don’t send,
Don’t wanna bother nobody they can’t be there then they sorry don’t bring no pity to party,
No they good, yea they fine,
How you doing, can they help,
They moving and outpacing they feelings like who you lean on when you the foundation,
Hold it down for the town notice how
The strong friend suffer quietly know the sound
Look like a superhero sound like a statue
Is it a good face or is it a mask ooh
You would’ve opened up but nobody asked you
You got “strong” written on you like it’s a tattoo
For the sake of everybody don’t unravel
You can’t unravel you can’t unravel

(Chorus)

Life of the party no problems to bother
Never high never lost in the bottom of bottles
Still human only assume they deal with some sorrow
If you ever need strength they got it to borrow
Don’t forget we all dealing with feelings
Some is easy revealing some is easy concealing
Different face that they show you than they see in mirror sometimes
Like can they just be the one with the issue one time
Voice of reason and source of advice
Quietly having a rough day so call me tonight
Even when nursing some dark thoughts they offer the light,
Check in when they don’t ask it’s only right,
Might be your hero but, they no Superman though
Sometimes lend a ear Holyfield Van Gogh
Everybody gotta limit past which they can’t go
They make it easy to forget it but that’s your friend so you need to

(Chorus)
