Pick Up Your Feelings
Lyrics:
[English]
You say that I've been actin' different, yeah
Funny how I finally flipped the script on you
When you the one who's double-dippin', yeah
You so sloppy, how I caught you slippin' up
You're off the lease, run me my keys
No more poppin' up to hit it, yeah
I ain't even got the miles to trip on you
New phone (who is this?)
Brand new, like the whip
Rack it up, no assist
Main bitch I ain't average
Wake up, need a zip
Hennessy take a sip
I got my jeans, I'm too thick
I ain't got the room for extra baggage
Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh, oh)
You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings
While I'm up cleaning
Boy please, I don't need it (I don't need it)
Memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)
Don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh-ooh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh)
Oh, I'm tryna find a fuck to give for you
You ran out of chances of forgivin', yeah
Yeah, listen, I ain't listenin'
Just for you to go and break my heart again
I learned my lesson (last time)
Woah, and I ain't comin' (back now)
This is what you had now (had now)
And I bet you I look better, don't I?
New phone (who is this?)
Contact? Don't exist
Need a ride? Call that bitch
Gas way too expensive
No more, benefits
Pop-up visits
Hands tied, no grip
I ain't got the room for extra baggage
So don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
And don't leave no pieces (hey, ayy)
You need to hurry and pick up your, (pick up your), feelings
While I'm up cleaning (oh, oh)
Boy please, I don't need you
Oh, oh, memories, all that shit, you can keep it (oh, oh)
Don't forget to come and pick up your, oh, feelings
Don't leave no pieces (oh)
Put a lock on the door where my heart once was, hmm
Boy you had your fun
But I had enough
Now I'm really done
I deserve so much more than you gave to me
So now I'm savin' me
And I made my peace
So you can run them streets
But don't forget to come and pick up your, ooh, feelings
And don't leave no pieces (Don't leave no)
You need to hurry and pick up your, ooh, feelings
While I'm up cleaning
Boy please (boy please, oh)
I don't need you (I don't need you)
All that shit (all that shit)
You can keep it (you can keep it), I don't need it (I don't need it)
Don't forget (don't forget) to come and
Pick up your, oh feelings (oh, pick up your feelings)
Don't leave no pieces
Oh, oh, oh woah
...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
...

Grammar:
-
Funny how I finally flipped the script on you
➔ Adverb + how + clause (describing manner/degree)
➔ The phrase "funny how" introduces an observation about the unexpected way things have changed. "Flipped the script" is an idiom meaning to reverse roles or change the expected outcome.
-
When you the one who's double-dippin', yeah
➔ Cleft sentence with "the one who"
➔ This sentence structure emphasizes that "you" are the person engaging in the activity of "double-dippin'", which is an informal way to describe cheating or being unfaithful. The typical way to say this would be 'You're the one who's double-dipping'. The contraction has removed the 'are'.
-
You're off the lease, run me my keys
➔ Imperative mood ("run me my keys")
➔ "Run me my keys" is an informal imperative, demanding the return of the keys. The use of "run" here functions like "give".
-
Main bitch I ain't average
➔ Double negative (Ain't + average)
➔ "I ain't average" employs a double negative, although in this context (AAVE, African American Vernacular English) it doesn't necessarily cancel out. It reinforces the idea that the speaker is *not* average, she is above average. "Ain't" is a colloquial substitute for "am not", "is not", or "are not".
-
I ain't got the room for extra baggage
➔ Use of "got" for possession
➔ "I ain't got the room" is a colloquial way of saying "I don't have room". "Got" is used to express possession, especially in informal contexts. "Ain't got" is used in AAVE where the word “ain’t” functions as a form of auxiliary verb.
-
Oh, I'm tryna find a fuck to give for you
➔ Slang/Idiomatic expression: "Give a fuck"
➔ "Trying to find a fuck to give" is a very informal and vulgar idiom that essentially means "trying to care". The negative connotation highlights the speaker's complete lack of concern or empathy.
-
Just for you to go and break my heart again
➔ Infinitive of purpose (to go and break)
➔ The infinitive phrase "to go and break my heart again" explains the purpose of the speaker's action of "listening". It highlights the futility of listening because it would only lead to heartbreak. The "go and" construction is an informal way to emphasize the subsequent action.
-
Put a lock on the door where my heart once was, hmm
➔ Relative clause with "where"
➔ The relative clause "where my heart once was" modifies the noun "door", indicating that the door leads to the *place* where the speaker's heart used to reside. It's not a literal door but a metaphorical one, a closing off from the past.
