Giving It Up
Donald Byrd And 125th Street N.Y.C. Lyrics

Try to hit yo phone try to put you on try to tell what’s going on
I'm trying to reach you and communicate, so I can tell you what's happening.

But you acting like ya fingers broke cause bitch you don’t respond
You're not responding or acknowledging my efforts to communicate with you.

Tryna get my shit together, Tryna give you everything you want
I'm trying to improve myself and give you everything that you desire.

Tryna treat you better than all the niggas who ever did you wrong
I'm striving to treat you better than anyone who has ever mistreated you in the past.

But what’s the fucking deal with you ?
I'm confused about your behavior and attitude towards me.

You don’t even hit me up like girl you know I’m feeling blue
You're not even checking up on me or inquiring about how I'm doing when I'm feeling down.

You not the only one with problems I got circumstances too
I also have my own issues and problems to deal with.

Index and the middle finger I’m not feeling you
I'm not happy with your behavior or actions.

Baby girl rest ya fingers u don’t have to hit me up
Please don't feel obligated to contact me.

You saying u feel sorry for me girl you’re faking love
Your words and actions come across as disingenuous and fake.

And fake love will kill you faster than all prescription drugs
Fake love can be more damaging to an individual's well-being than any prescription drugs.

And no matter what I do I lose girl I'm giving up
Regardless of my efforts, I always seem to lose, and I'm choosing to give up on this relationship.

Relationships I have is just so god damn regressive
My relationships tend to hold me back and prevent my growth.

You say everything is fine but girl let’s look from my perspective
You claim that everything is okay, but it's important to look at things from my point of view.

When I explain it it’s for the better never used as a weapon
I'm communicating with you to improve our relationship, not to hurt or manipulate you.

No intent I hurt I hope u see it’s as an lesson
I have no intention of hurting you, and I hope you can see the situation as a learning opportunity.

But it’s a lot of B words we just talk shit and we fuss
We tend to argue and bicker frequently.

For the person you suppose to be gentle with u make sure that you’re rough
You treat me harshly when you're supposed to be sweet and loving.

And the person you suppose to be open to you do not say enough
You're not open or communicative with me, despite the fact that you should be.

Now I’m done u wanna come back but girl I done had enough
I'm finished with this relationship, and I'm not interested in going back.

See ya actions and ya energy is just not adding up
Your actions and behavior don't match up with what you're saying.

You say you love me ? niggas said the same when they used to dap me up
You claim to love me, but it feels disingenuous, similar to how guys would pretend to be friends with me.

And idc about what u have to say I'm sorry time to pack it up
I don't care about your excuses, apologies, or explanations; I'm ready to end this relationship and move on.

On top of that I went to Maryland and came back sad and shit
I went to Maryland and returned feeling sad and depressed.

My grandpa giving up he said he quit dialysis
My grandfather has decided to stop undergoing dialysis.

It was good to see the man and have a good ol laugh and shit
It was good to see my grandfather and share a good laugh with him.

But it hurts when someone u grew to love is gonna pass and shit
It's painful to realize that someone you've grown to love is going to pass away.

Deep down my mama hurting but she was don’t wanna show it
My mother is internally suffering, but she doesn't want to express her pain outwardly.

Imagine years go by , yall get close that person going
After years of growing close to someone, it's difficult to cope with the reality of them passing away.

I know she feels alone both of us don’t show emotion
I know my mother feels alone, as neither of us tend to express our emotions.

But ma the pain ain't gonna heal by you drinking all that potion
Drinking alcohol won't resolve your pain or make it go away.

Baby girl rest ya fingers u don’t have to hit me up
Please don't feel obligated to contact me.

You saying u feel sorry for me girl you’re faking love
Your words and actions come across as disingenuous and fake.

And fake love will kill you faster than all prescription drugs
Fake love can be more damaging to an individual's well-being than any prescription drugs.

And no matter what I do I lose girl I'm giving up
Regardless of my efforts, I always seem to lose, and I'm choosing to give up on this relationship.
