Can You Lift Me Up?

A hip-hop call to action for low-effort men by the indominable Gianna. Once again, Gianna uses her pop diva vocals to bring to light men who don’t pull their fair share in the relationship. This can, of course, apply to either gender, where inequality exists… making it an infinitely relatable song with a killer beat.

Lyrics

Mmm-hmmm
Hey babe, yeah I see ya
So you wanna get with me
The first thing you gotta know
Is that nothing in this life is free
Being a woman isn’t easy
A good woman has her needs
So be prepared to show me
Prove yourself, with your deeds
What we want is a partner
Not looking for some boy
We need ourselves a real man
Someone who enhances our joy
Mmm-hmmm
So can you lift me up
Whenever I’m feeling down
Can you lift me up
Take me out on the town
Will you lift me up
Help all my dreams come true
If you lift me up
I’ll do the same for you
So come lift me up
Make me your best friend
If you can do all that
I’ll be with you till the end
Mmm-hmmm
Oh honey, do ya feel me
Can you see where I’m comin’ from
I’m want someone special
Not waste my time on another bum
I’m not gettin’ any younger so
If ya think this is some kinda game
You better think differently
Or you’ll have a world full-a pain
Now’s your chance to back out
If you don’t wanna be a provider
But if you’re gonna step up
A woman’s ready ta have ya beside her.
Mmm-hmmm
So can you lift me up
Whenever I’m feeling down
Can you lift me up
Take me out on the town
Will you lift me up
Help all my dreams come true
If you lift me up
I’ll do the same for you
So come lift me up
Make me your best friend
If you can do all that
I’ll be with you till the end
Mmm-hmmm
Where are the real men
We’re ready to choose
If ya never take your shot
Then you’re doomed to lose
So come build us up now
Time for you to be bold
Make our mark on the world
Together we will make gold
So can you lift me up
Whenever I’m feeling down
Can you lift me up
Take me out on the town
Will you lift me up
Help all my dreams come true
If you lift me up
I’ll do the same for you
So come lift me up
Make me your best friend
If you can do all that
I’ll be with you till the end
So lift me up
Yes lift me up
When you lift me up
We both win
I’ll lift you up
Until the end
Mmm-hmmm

Behind the Music

Composer’s Thoughts

This is a bit of a running theme with both sides. Inequality in the effort of relationships and just plain laziness seems to be an epidemic. Where other songs like Greedy Gus and One Way Street tackle the problems of relationships in different ways, this looks at what each party should bring to the table. We should be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down or holding each other back.

Gianna’s Thoughts

I hope people don’t see me as some grumpy girl with all of these songs on calling out bad behaviour. LOL. The fact is, I agree with the sentiments though. I know my worth. I know what I bring to the table. I just want to have the same in my partner. Ya know?
