Ring
Cardi B Lyrics

Ooh, ooh
Expressing excitement and anticipation for what's to follow

Ring, ring, ring, ring
The sound of a phone ringing, representing the desire for communication

You don't hit my line no more, oh, oh
You don't reach out to me as much as you used to, leaving me feeling neglected and unimportant

You don't make it ring, ring, ring, ring
Your lack of initiation in communication makes me feel unwanted and lonely

I can't keep this on the low
I can't pretend everything is okay when I'm hurting and craving more attention from you

I want you to make it ring, ring, ring, ring
I want you to take the initiative to contact me more often and show me you care

Should I call first? I can't decide
I'm conflicted about whether or not to make the first move and contact you myself

I want to, but a bitch got pride
I want to reach out to you, but it's hard for me to admit that I need attention and don't want to seem desperate

The switchin' up shit is what I can't fuck with
I don't like it when you change your behavior towards me and distant yourself

I'm feelin' you but you hard to get in touch with
I have feelings for you, but it's frustrating that you're not as communicative as I would like

And you ain't hit me up in a while
It's been a long time since you've contacted me at all

Actin' like you don't know what number to dial
You're avoiding me and making it seem like you don't know how to reach me

You quit, then that's it, I'ma throw in the towel
If you give up on our relationship, I'll do the same and stop pursuing you

'Cause a nigga only gon' do what you allow
You're in control of the relationship dynamics, and if you don't put effort in, neither will I

You don't want this gun smoke
You don't want to mess with me if you're not prepared for the consequences

Learn to text with your nose if your thumb broke
You have no excuse for not contacting me, even if you're physically disabled

I don't care if we get into it and I stall on your ass
I don't mind if we argue and I give you the silent treatment

Better still wake up to missed calls from your ass, nigga
You're more likely to get my attention by continuously trying to contact me, even if I don't answer

Nah, nigga, now you gon' have to call me (call me)
I'm not going to put up with your lack of communication anymore, and you need to take the initiative to contact me

'Cause I'm lookin' at these messages, they on me (yeah)
I'm aware that you've been avoiding me and ignoring my messages

Actin' like they ain't niggas that want me
You're disregarding the fact that there are others who are interested in pursuing me romantically

Let another nigga in your spot, and you gon' be hot, nigga, coffee
If you allow someone else to take your place in my life, you'll regret losing me

You gon' be sick to your, stomach
You'll feel upset and regretful about your decisions

Hit me when you free, 1-800
Contact me when you have time to prioritize our relationship

It's emergency, call me 911
Our relationship is in dire need of attention and communication

'Cause right now I'm out here tryna find someone
I'm considering other options because of your lack of effort in our relationship

The ring on my phone, ring on my finger (brrr)
I want my phone to be ringing with messages from you, and I want a real commitment from you

You actin' like you ain't tryna do either (yeah)
You're not showing me that you want to communicate or commit to me

Was a good girl (ayy), watched me turn diva (uh)
I used to be more submissive and compliant, but now I'm standing up for myself and demanding more attention and respect

Here goes my heart, I put it on speaker (oh)
I'm being vulnerable and open with my feelings, hoping that you'll hear me out

You used to be on my line
You used to reach out to me frequently and show interest in our relationship

On my tip all the time, yeah
You used to give me constant attention and prioritize our communication

Love it when you make me feel
I enjoyed the affection and attention you used to give me

Like you don't mind when I ain't got time for you
You used to make me feel valued and respected even when I was busy and couldn't give you attention

And no it don't go to my head, I'm only arrogant in bed
I'm not letting the attention go to my head, and I'm only boasting in the bedroom

I just love to know you wanna spend time with me instead
I appreciate feeling wanted and prioritized by you

Now you all caught up, yeah
Now you're distracted and disconnected from our relationship

You all caught up and you done left me alone, yeah
Your lack of communication has left me feeling lonely and unwanted

You was all fed up
You were frustrated and annoyed with me

Ready for the next step, wanna be on your own
You're looking to move on from our relationship and be independent

Said I just miss you, I just miss us, baby
I'm expressing my desire to reconnect and fix our relationship

All I know is
The only thing I'm certain of is my feelings for you

You don't hit my line no more, oh, oh
You don't contact me as often as you used to, leaving me feeling neglected and unimportant

You don't make it ring, ring, ring, ring (you don't make it ring, baby)
Your lack of initiation in communication makes me feel unwanted and lonely

I can't keep this on the low (yeah, yeah, oh)
I can't continue to hide my feelings and act like everything is okay when I'm hurting from your lack of attention

I want you to make it ring, ring, ring, ring
I want you to take the initiative to contact me more often and show me you care
