Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Riverdale's song "Give It Up" are quite simple but packed with meaning. The repetitive lines of "give it up, you ain't got it" and "give up" seems to be a message to someone who is struggling to keep up with certain standards or expectations, and they need to realize that they may not have what it takes to achieve their goals. The song encourages the listener to stop trying to prove themselves and to instead embrace their limitations and move on.


The lyrics also hint at the possibility of success coming from letting go of unrealistic expectations and just enjoying the moment. The line "it's no big thing" suggests that what the person is chasing after may not be as important as it seems, and they should learn to relax and let things happen naturally. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody of the song reinforces this carefree attitude and encourages the listener to let go of their worries and enjoy life.
