Talk It Up
Sammy Rae Lyrics

Smokey walls, Dusty halls No one calls And all the window plants are dying
The surroundings are gloomy and neglected, there is no communication or attention from others and even the plants are withering.

Should talk it up Half empty cup Half hearted love Half of the time that we're halfway through crying
We should communicate our problems to others even if we feel inadequate or incomplete. Our emotions can be overwhelming but sharing them can make us feel better.

But she don't live about herself? Sleeping in the bed she made Reading books about self help Working late on Saturdays Less she got something to stay?
The singer questions a woman who seems to prioritize her own well-being but may have a deeper motivation to stay in her current situation.

For heavens sake Keep him awake Make no mistake he break down daily with no warning
The singer pleads for someone to stay alert and attentive to a person who is struggling and may need emotional support at any moment.

When we were 20 years old do as you're told Get bottom shdbdjjdb it's coldest early in the morning
The singer recalls a time when they were more obedient and resilient, willing to endure difficult circumstances even if they didn't make sense at the time.

And he's living on 10th street Getting home around dawn Every mode every week he's proving everybody wrong Any day now we won't be long So listen when I say
The singer describes a person who is working hard and persevering despite others' doubts or skepticism. They believe success is imminent and urges others to pay attention.

Don't you stop it now come on Give em all what they came here for Never been there the same before Talk it up till your face gets sore
Encouragement to keep communicating and expressing oneself until everyone present feels satisfied with the conversation.

I've been holding my own My raggin bone my cup alone Now Don't forget to double check it Learn to rely on????? My own jacket???
The singer has been self-sufficient and independent, but reminds themselves to be thorough and not miss anything important. It is unclear what they mean by relying on their own jacket.

Because I did the best I could I got taken down again But I got fire in my blood I got sugar on my skin And I got nowhere to begin so listen when I say
Despite trying their best, the singer has faced setbacks and feels lost. They still feel passionate and energized, but at a loss for how to proceed.

See I get what you're putting??? So you can not get upset If you're just dipping your foot in because I don't wanna get wet And I ain't made it big yet???
The singer understands someone's reluctance to fully commit or invest in something. They don't want to force someone to take a risk they are not ready for. The singer also acknowledges that they have not achieved great success yet.

Don't you stop it Give em all what they came here for Gotta talk it up till your face gets sore
The song's refrain encourages continued communication and expression to ensure everyone in the conversation feels fulfilled.

Don't you stop it now Never been done the same Talk it up til your face gets sore
The song stresses the importance of open and sincere communication, even if it is difficult or repetitive.
