Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You already missed enough, so you betta listen up
If you wanna get this all tonight
I'm talking straight up to you, baby
I already called yo stuff so you betta listen up
If you wanna get this love(verse)
Don't forget, I handle my shit
It don't take long to make up my mind
Of you think you gon' waste all my time(Pre-Hook)
Call me up, not gonna sell it up
Cause baby we been through it all
You say it's word to love, but baby don't you get
That I'mma wait another minute
So when you hit me up, I'm tryna push our luck
Cause baby we been through this all
You betta keep me close, I think you need a ghost
So lemme speak just for a minute, yeah(Hook)(2)
My nigga, if you want this love
Betta walk that shit you're talkin'
Babe, I bet I got one who will
Betta keep it real, or you'll catch me out with a tan(?!)(Pre-Hook)(Hook)
The song "Straight Up" by Liane V speaks about how the singer wants the person she is addressing to know that she is not willing to waste any time. She wants him to be honest and keep things real between them. The lyrics suggest that the person in question, who the singer refers to as "baby", has messed up before and that she is giving him another chance. However, she is not going to wait around for too long and expects him to make a move if he wants to keep her. She tells him that she is not easily swayed and that he needs to bring his A-game if he wants to be with her.
The song talks about holding on to a love that they both share, however, it's not all smooth sailing as there are complications, and the singer wants to leave that behind. In the end, Liane V wants the man to take action and take her love seriously. The chorus is a stern warning that the man must walk his talk or risk losing her. The lyrics sound like a direct message to someone who caused Liane pain before, and she's calling him out on his bluff, and wants him to treat their relationship with respect.
