Lyrics and translation
Original
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
I don't know what's up with you, one step forward then back with you
I think we all got it misconstrued, just seem like it's all ain't enough for you
No matter what I do, I can never get ahead, all about you, can you get it through your head?
Got me seein' red, but I think it's clear as day, if you don't work on you, it'll never be okay
Tryna do what I can but tell me where I stand (take me up, lift me up)
Laid down the foundation then ripped up the plans
Tryna see that light, but I know it ain't right
How you got me in the dark? Tell me, where do I start? (Take me up, lift me up)
If it ain't about love, hate that for us (take me up, lift me up)
Tired of the lies, don't know who to trust
All we do is fight and fuss
'Cause you break me down to lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
Here we go, here we go
Come back around just like merry-go
Movin' too fast, think we need to take it slow
Dim my light just to see you glow
Here we go, here we go
Come back around just like merry-go
Movin' too fast, think we need to take it slow
Dim my light just to see you glow (take me up, lift me up)
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
I don't know what's up with you, the way you act got me all confused
Always worried what the next man do, can't never get a hold or control of you
Always talkin' out ya mouth, negative thoughts
Think you need to get your ass up off the couch
You ain't never outside, always in the house
Cryin' about how things ain't never workin' out (take me up, lift me up)
Why you always waitin'? So busy with your hatin' (take me up, lift me up)
Never out workin' and you wonder why you hurtin'
All that hate in ya heart got you always in that dark
But you never see that light, don't know where even to start
Need to get out on the grind, everything'll be fine
Worry 'bout yours, stop worryin' 'bout mine
Need to get in line, due time, you'll shine
Feel like you at the bottom but you never tryna climb
Here we go, here we go
Come back around just like merry-go
Movin' too fast, think we need to take it slow
Dim my light just to see you glow
Here we go, here we go
Come back around just like merry-go
Movin' too fast, think we need to take it slow
Dim my light to see you glow (take me up, lift me up)
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
(Take me up, lift me up) so, you know what's up? Double down then double up
I don't know where to go with us, break me down, lift you up (take me up, lift me up)
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Move your, move your
Take me up, lift me up (move your, move your)
Essencemaxxin', I essencemaxxed on how severe vibe casts
I wanted to whisper sick, dirty things in your ear
I knew it would make you crazy, and you'd want somethin' to use (take me up, lift me up)
But finally I fell asleep with my face firmly smashed into your scalp (take me up, lift me up)
I noticed the dust that settled between follicles (take me up, lift me up)
I sept it down all night, and I held it down all night, and in the mornin' (take me up, lift me up)
And I woke up with a hand-holdin' glow about me (take me up, lift me up)
