Give It Up Lyrics

[Refrain]
I know what you want and
I might feel the same
You know what I need
I hope you feel the same
(Ear Drummers)

[Verse 1]
Young, dumb, good lookin’
Pretty, better get a goodie bag while they still givin'
Sometimes, I play dumb
Just to get around the curb little faster
Just beat around the bush
Beat around the bush and get that bread
If you wanna know how it feel to touch and hold me
Know how to hold ya down
I, I want you, you, you, you, you
Said, "I, I want you, you, you, you, you" (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I have it?
I really want it
Feel I deserve it
You been workin’ on it
I’m ready to give it up
Know when I need it
Why do I fight it?
And you deserve it
Thought about it
Ready to give it up
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yеah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Givе it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up

[Verse 2]
Young, green-thumb, green light
Got a gas tank full of propane
For the bike ride
Up every stop, here we go
With everytime I pull up
Got every type of problem
Like nein, nein bitches, you got none

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I have it?
I really want it
Feel I deserve it
You been workin’ on it
I’m ready to give it up
Know when I need it
Why do I fight it?
And you deserve it
Thought about it
Ready to give it up
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up

[Refrain]
I know what you want and
I might feel the same
You know what I need
I hope you feel the same
I know what you want and
I might feel the same
You know what I need
I hope you feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I have it?
I really want it
Feel I deserve it
You been workin’ on it
I’m ready to give it up
Know when I need it
Why do I fight it?
And you deserve it
Thought about it
Ready to give it up
