I tried to give you the world
But you wasn't ready for that but you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
I tried to give you the world
I tried to give you the world
Everything in my power but you just didn't listen or pay attention to
What I be sayin I think we needs go our separate ways cause I guess
We wasn't ment to be shawty I think we wasn't ment to be cause I
Ran with it left me scarred thinkin we was for real I said
I tried to give you the world
I tried to give you the world
But you wasn't ready for that but you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
I tried to give you the world
I tried to give you the world
I tried not to turn my back
Even if I wanted you back
That shill probably be wack
Ima moe green ain't nobody time for that
Could it be all waste of money and have me looking stupid
I hope you Smokin on crack cus you knew you blew it
Stupid ho u Murder me and u still playing clueless
We both fuck up I know that We both be smoking on za
I could of blew you brains out she put my blower inside
It was left up to me your heart very straight
When I fucked for the first time u know I brought that k
Speed not even thinking I'm bout beat that pussy
You had boy and girl I couldn't believe that story
Congratulations I know you happy that what matters most
But this is what I'll say when I get u close
I tried to give you the world
I tried to give you the world
But you wasn't ready for that but you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
But you wasn't ready for that
I tried to give you the world
I tried to give you the world
The lyrics of MK1’s song “I Want You Back” suggest a relationship that is coming to an end. The singer expresses their disappointment that despite their efforts and willingness to give the person everything, they were not ready for it. The line “I tried to give you the world, but you weren't ready for that” is repeated throughout the song, almost like a plea for the listener to understand the singer's efforts. The singer acknowledges that they did everything they could to make the relationship work, but the other person failed to listen or pay attention to what they were saying. The line “everything in my power, but you just didn't listen or pay attention to what I be saying” shows that the singer was committed to making it work, but the other person wasn't interested.
As the song progresses, the singer appears to be coming to terms with the end of the relationship. They suggest that they need to go their separate ways because “we wasn't meant to be.” The line “ran with it left me scarred thinking we were for real” highlights that the singer has been hurt, but now realizes that the relationship was not meant to be. The final line of the song, “I tried to give you the world,” is repeated once again, almost as if the singer is trying to make sense of the entire relationship and what went wrong.
Overall, the song suggests a relationship that has ended due to a lack of understanding and communication between two people. The singer expresses their disappointment that they were not able to make it work despite their efforts.
