[Verse 1]
When the checks ran dry, where you at?
When the rent came due, who had your back?
I seen smiles fade when the smoke got thick
Same hands disappear, same lips go slick
I gave out love like change in a jar
Some folks only call when you shine like a star
Then the floor split open, truth came through
Found out real fast what the fake ones do
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know
Til the pressure hit
You don’t know
Who’s really in it
[Chorus]
You find out
When shit goes down
You find out
Who stays around
(Who stays around)
You find out
When the room goes cold
The real ones stay
The rest fold
[Verse 2]
Had a so-called brother in the front row grin
Next week went ghost when the trouble moved in
No reply, no text, just a dead-end tone
Funny how a crowd can leave you alone
I learned that pain got a x-ray view
Sees right through the talk and the act they do
If you ever doubt who your people are
Watch who stands close when you fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know
Til the pressure hit
You don’t know
Who’s really in it
[Chorus]
You find out
When shit goes down
You find out
Who stays around
(Who stays around)
You find out
When the room goes cold
The real ones stay
The rest fold
[Bridge]
No applause when the bills stack high
No parade when the tears run dry
Still I rose with the ones who knew
Love is proven in the things you do
[Chorus]
You find out
When shit goes down
You find out
Who stays around
(Who stays around)
You find out
When the room goes cold
The real ones stay
The rest fold
