Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't explain why you wait for your face
You're a hotel lover on the back and to the disgrace
Every night she seems to change her name
Does it matter who you really are?
Back room where we sip champagne
I can never seem to get out enough
It's on tonight so hold on, 'cuz we're about to about to light it up
Hey there's no mistake 'cuz I'm a hard time sinner
With a bullet to waste
I will break all these chains
And hit the club house running with the money to play
I got the whiskey running through my veins
Tip me over and corer the valve
Yo daddy tells you not to play my game
But what I'm sell baby, she can't deny
I ignite so hold on 'cuz we're about to light it up
It's on tonight so hold on 'cuz we're about to about
I ignite so hold on 'cuz we're about to light it up
It's on tonight so hold on 'cuz we're about to about to light it up
It keeps calling my name
I can't send it away
You got to pay it to play yeahhh
Yo daddy tells you not to play my game
But what I'm sell baby she can't deny
I ignite so hold on
It's on tonight so hold on 'cuz we're about to
I ignite so hold on cuz we're about to light it up
It's on tonight so hold on 'cuz we're about to light it up yeah
Hold on 'cuz we're about to about to light it up
The lyrics to Rev. Ernest Davis Jr.'s song "Giving it Up" seem to describe a person being lured by a black-hearted devil into a life of sin and pleasure. The lyrics start by describing the allure of this devil and the hotel lover he spends time with. The singer seems to question the identity of this person, wondering if their changing name matters. The singer then confesses his own sins, describing himself as a hard-time sinner with a love for whiskey. He believes that he can break free from his chains and hit the club with enough money to play. The chorus repeats that they are about to light things up, with a sense of excitement and anticipation.
The lyrics seem to express the feeling of living on the edge, pursuing pleasure and excitement to the fullest. The devil figure represents a tempting force that draws the singer towards sin and away from conventional morality. The singer seems to acknowledge the risks of this life, but is willing to take them anyway. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "hold on," suggests that the singer is ready to take a wild ride, and that his listeners should be ready to hold on for the journey.
Overall, the lyrics present a picture of someone who is willing to give up their conventional life for a taste of something wild and thrilling. They are embracing the danger and excitement of living on the edge, with no guarantee of what the future will hold.
