Giving Something Up by Amel Larrieux


'76 when a man told his wife

?baby doll sorry i can't stay?

Left with 5 kids she was forced to become superwoman

And go earn some pay

 

A college educated girl

Washing dishes in a man's world

Now what good is a degree

When you got mouths to feed yeah

 

She is that girl maybe you know

Maybe you've been maybe you are today

Insert your year where the year is

If to this story you can relate

 

(giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

 

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We always giving something

We're always giving something up

 

'97 a mother has no choice but to go find work

And leave her kids alone

Far from heaven so she's gone 5 days out the week

To bring a piece home

Her man is off somewhere up some dress

Bringin' her back some other woman's sickness

Her baby girl is cryin' mama please

When you're gone the neighbor's chasing me

 

Around the world from pakistan

Down to soweto back to new york city

Insert your year where the year is

If to this story you can relate

 

(giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

 

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We always giving something

We're always giving something up

 

Givin' tryin' self-relying

Feedin' teachin' always reachin'

Dreamin' losin' being abused and

Dyin' cryin' sacrificin'

 

Hurtin' being told we're worthless

Birthin' buried alive in the earth and

Hopin' mendin' spirits broken

Smilin' and somehow survivin'

 

(giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

 

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

 

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

 

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up

(we are giving something up)

We're always giving something up
