Kristinia DeBarge - Speak Up Lyrics






Speak up, your silence is killing me
I've had enough, baby speak up
Are you lovin' or hatin' me?
Cuz I can never tell
I'll be the first to admit it
Been silent for a minute
Thinking like damn is he feeling me
We fell in love took a second
But now I'm always checking
Cuz I never hear you say what you really think

Some days I feel it then I feel it's over
Some days were harder then some days were colder
When you open up, our love is alive
But now you're quiet and I'm dying inside

So baby speak up
Cuz your silence is killing me
I've had enough, baby speak up
Are you lovin' or hatin' me
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
Just let your heart say what you can't say (speak up)
Let your heart say what you won't say (speak up)
Don't let the silence tear us away
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
If you don't speak up

I don't know where you've been
But nothing's making sense, I'm standing on this fence for you
And even when you're here, somehow you disappear
If I can read your mind, I'd know just what to do

Some days I feel it then I feel it's over
Some days were harder then some days were colder
When you open up, our love is alive
And now you're quiet and I'm dying inside

So baby speak up
Cuz your silence is killing me
I've had enough, baby speak up
Are you lovin' or hatin' me
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
Just let your heart say what you can't say (speak up)
Let your heart say what you won't say (speak up)
Don't let the silence tear us away
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
Speak up

I'll be out the door before the sun comes up
Boy catch me if you can while I'm pumping that clutch
(Try) Try to be the one, (I) gave it all I got
(I'm) Giving you your last chance (if you don't speak up)
Say all the words that you never said, oh
Write all the letters that I never read, oh
Show me your words or the love is dead
Just want to hear it from you

First to admit it, been silent for a minute
Thinking like damn is he feeling me
We fell in love, took a second
But you about to wreck it,
Cuz I never hear you say what you really mean

Baby speak up, cuz your silence is killing me
(your silence is killin' me)
I've had enough, baby speak up
Are you lovin' or hatin' me
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
Just let your heart say what you can't say (speak up)
Let your heart say what you won't say (speak up)
Don't let the silence tear us away
Cuz I can never tell, I can never tell
Speak up
If you don't speak up
Open up your mouth cuz baby I'm listenin'

Kristinia DeBarge Speak Up Comments
  1. D.... K....

    Kristina I care about you and love you and the family that you are a part of. It seems that you have been through something but, the storm. is over now although you and most of DeBarge Family have been the Molido G e n t e s means Bruised Peoples of Jeremiah 31st chapter where it says of old has the Lord God appeared unto me saying I, God have loved you with an Everlasting Love. Kristina in 2016 you finally saw your father, James again that loves you very dearly, I know how girls are very close to their father he is busy trying to perfect himself in holiness by taking the mote out of his own eye. Also, by working out his own salvation with FEAR and trembling, repenting of his own shortcomings of which God assured him that He alone shall cast our sins as far as the east is from the west. Along with 1 John 1 verse 9 that promises He, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Letting us know that He,through Jesus our High Priest is our Advocate to the Father. Another book states He, Jesus is the Mediator between God and man means Intercessor, even our Propitiation, our Sacrifice,
    yes the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world. The book of Romans enlightens us to the fact that where sin did abound, Grace did Much More Abound. The First Adam passed the curse to all mankind but the 2nd Adam, Jesus Christ made provision through His Blood by way of the VEIL, that is to say His holy flesh at the cross, triumphantly defeating the devil and making an open show means a public shame of him before all the world. Yes, HE rose again for our justification, healing, etc. Scripture says, God was in Christ RECONCILING the world to Himself.


    I know girls are very close to their father, worry no longer lay all your burdens down at the feet of Jesus, at the foot of the cross. Jesus will meet you there tell Jesus Christ the LOVER of your soul, the Mind FIXER and Heart REGULATOR what
    is ailing your mind, HEART, soul and spirit. As hymn says I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, I cannot bear these burdens alone in my distress HE kindly WILL help me. He ever loves and cares for His own. Jesus can help me e e. Jesus alone. Continuing in Jer.. 31 God says those left of the sword found Grace when I went to him to CAUSE him to REST. Kristina
    let God HANDLE your business, HE says Will I be the the God of all the families of Israel of which we are spiritual Israel. He goes on to say, Therefore with LOVINGKINDNESS have I drawn you. Jesus said Come Unto Me, Kristina you that labor and are Heavy Laden and I Will Give you REST. LEARN OF ME FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART AND YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT. KRISTINA DON'T ALLOW THE devil to continue to keep you on a roller coaster headed towards a downward Spiral not a lift going up in Christ but just the opposite since the enemy is a counterfeit and a hater of God s real people the ones he desires to possess, and control fully by stealing, killing and destroying them. Satan is very subtle he does it little by little the same way that an animal is caught in a trap or the same way in which seafood is placed in a pot to cook it the flame COOKING under it is on very low then by the time that that mammal discovers that they are being cooked it is too late there is nothing they can do to escape. Don't keep getting backed into a corner spiritually , Break away from the devil, the adversary of your soul as well as him being the archenemy of God as well. What I am saying is that you are lowering and cheapening yourself in the hip hop industry or field and the proof is that is the reason you have to flash your breasts and body, Not a wise thing to do it is degrading, takes away the honor of your family and of all woman Especially in a field that calls women b's and hoes, sluts, etc There is no dignity there, reason they will pay you big to corrupt, exploit, and demoralize yourself What a shame .... You have been GIVEN A FEW BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
    BY GOD BUT, they are being used for the devils devices, Blindly Through Pain, Hurt and Ignorance you didn't know any better and the devil is a lying wonder even gospel singer Helen Baylor testified on a CD about the devil having a trap set for her. The enemy mainly choses to do it when we are young so he can have us for life then we are his pawn, Not God s Property as we should be, then he can pull the plug on us at any time. He works on the old and especially on backsliders too , currently I am working hard to bring a sister back to the Lord because of some bad cards that have been dealt to her but she finally knows, Hay e s p e r a n z a, means There is hope she is struggling trying to keep hope alive and to stay alive in the land of the living and trying to remain functional but you both are doing the same thing Wrong putting all your eggs in the same pot. I am saying focusing too much on making money. That is the EASY part When a person is Living Holy and Allowing God to Direct their path, their footsteps, their Direction as Proverbs 3 v5 to 6 says. Another verse says Order my Steps in the Lord which is a prayer also. God gave me something else awesome to say but sleuth foot stole my thoughts. Anyway, CHRIST declared I am Come that they might have Life and that More Abundantly meaning the Choice is yours. Don't. let the devil and mean uncaring people stand back and laugh at you because they are piranhas called hirelings and wolves in St. John 10 th chapter that care not for the sheep only going forth working for their father
    the devil to scatter the sheep as well as to put them in positions to be stolen from, killed and destroy. Kristina Commit your Way unto the Lord, make Straight Not crooked paths for your feet. Evil communications corrupt you, you know better reason you said twice in one interview that your father does not interrupt or try to curtail or redirect your career. In the Bible when they spoke of Jesus in Isaiah he said Jesus knew how to choose the good and not the evil, HE knew how to chose the honey even as God desires to give is milk
    and honey. You can't bargain nor wheel and deal with the adversary because even his starting ground is not level, Not fair but cunning and full of all manner of craftiness reason God says Vain is the help of man. Dear sweet Precious
    soul, Spa. 34v 8 says Taste and SEE that the LORD is GOOD, BLESSED, YES JOYOUS AND HAPPY MEANS CONTENTED IS THE MAN THAT PUTS HIS TRUST IN HIM. I WILL GO TO THE ROCK CHRIST, JESUS THAT IS HIGHER THAN I , instead of lowering your standards. God says My Ways are not your ways, nor are My thoughts your thoughts. BE you Holy as I am holy. Whoever trusts in Me, God shall Not be confounded, No Won't be made ashamed But Shall Be the Head and not the tail. And I, Jesus if I be Lifted up in the earth will Draw all men unto Me. Psalms 35 says there shall be a highway and a way and it shall be called the Way of Holiness. Settle not for the crumbs of deceit and wickedness to seem to be making it because O. Testament also says in 14 v12 or 12v 14, There is a way that seems to be right but the end thereof are the paths of destruction. Matt.7v13 to 14 directs us to get off the broad road where many are that leads to destruction, death but to get ok n the narrow road found by the faithful, committed FEW that LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE. JEREMIAH 31 SPEAKS OF EPHRAIM MY FIRSTBORN THAT KNOW OF THE P R I M O G E N I T O WHICH IS THE BIRTHRIGHT THAT ESAU FOOLISHLY SOLD FOR A MORSEL OF A MEAL TO JACOB HIS BROTHER THEN TRIED TO RECLAIM IT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. EPHRAIM SAYS WE SHALL GO UP, TO OUR GOD IN ZION AND THEY SHALL GO WITH TEARS AND SUPPLICATION AND GOD SHALL RECEIVE THEM AND SHALL GIVE THEM VINES TO PLANT That shall become vineyards. GOD GIVES BLESSINGS AND ADDS NO SORROW WITH IT as the deceiver does to you. K please God loves you and your sweet BLESSED family so much, do gospel music and write a book as well you can get a publisher or do it yourself Even tell of the guile that Satan threw your way, expose the devil because he is the one that is banished from heaven and can never get back in to a place we've never been to before. Get on your spiritual post for the LORD and stay there waiting for His coming for the trumpet to sound, for those that are living and looking for Him to be ushered out of this present evil world that is not our home. Seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things shall be added into you. Lift up a holy standard. Choose to be the elect of God not the perverse and untoward generation that are falling for every evil work from Satan. God says I know My sheep and are known of mine. My sheep know My voice and a stranger they will not follow, even if they were forced out of the streets for being only homeless spreading the Word of God and were pushed into a shelter then quickly were made to take erroneous housing they knew was trash but then said I shall take it to encourage an inmate for a number of years more then 9 months to a year FIND that the place is indeed death through and thru shall finally leave that and take some things into STORAGE whether she gets another apartment or not determining to sue with two lawyers and get a public speaker to expose how they expose tenants to death and other unlawful practices not caring for people but casting out smokescreen pretending to be doing right but are ravenous wolves. God shall continue to take care of His own because they have made Him their Refuge and Strength as Psalms 91 SPEAKS OF.

  25. U.... ....

    And I think this is because her label at the time didn't give her freedom to be her own person entirely so she was giving the public what her label thought they wanted. Listen to her latest album: Young & Restless. Shows a different side to her, I personally think.

  26. U.... ....

    Aww, boo boo!

  27. E.... ....

    I don't see why she didn't make top charts voice is amazing

    You deserve to be appreciated just as much as she does. If she can't see your potential, I hope you can move on confidently. This post made me sad.

  32. H.... I....

    I just can't get into this artist. In her videos it's like she doesn't embody the person she portrays herself to be. There is potential in her live stuff, though. Great voice.

  33. N.... ....

    Does she have any new song other than "cry wolf" ?

  34. A.... S....

    I want to have her voice, she should be more famous.

  35. k.... ....

    Her voice is so flawless I can't even believe it! :)

  36. S.... G....
