Call Me

(album: While You Wait For J.A.W.S. - 2022)

[Angel Hill:]
Tell me why I feel like this
Water been still, I guess
How did I get used to the stress?
I guess I used you best
You don't (You don't)
Call me (Call me)
Your love (Your love)
Is all I need

[Caskey:]
Yeah, hard to reach 'cause I'm touring countries and doing features
Can't relate, you don't move the ball, you just do the bleachers
Missed my nephew birth, I wasn't around to come and meet ya
I was out in LA, paper-chasing and dodging reapers
Dissatisfied with life, was tryna actualize
Things I see when I go to sleep, wake up and catch a vibe
Missing birthdays, so I didn't pop out and act surprised
Some people took it personal, fuck it, let 'em have it
Make it all make sense, in the end, it make it more dramatic
Still I wear my heart on my sleeves, left my shoulders tatted
Doubled my efforts 'cause nothing come to you automatic
Got they opinions about it but this was autocratic
All I have, gave to my passions
Who I was before I found the art, left in the ashes
Barely recognize the photo after the camera flashes
Gave myself as an offering and went to the masses

[Angel Hill:]
Tell me why I feel like this
Water been still, I guess
How did I get used to the stress?
I guess I used you best
You don't (You don't)
Call me (Call me)
Your love (Your love)
Is all I need

[Caskey:]
You ever work for ten years, don't get the credit that you deserve?
Then show up and do overtime, 'cause you don't get perturbed?
Then still give flowers to people 'cause you ain't insecure?
Say they got love, but love is realer when it's a verb
All those setbacks and people winning made me mature
Realized that my own self-worth is something I procure
No amount of streams or money coming would be the cure
You was thinking 'bout it, this verse was meant to reassure
Had to fall in love with the process, started from scratch
Gasoline on my inspiration, then I lit the match
It's not your job to figure out when your praise come
That's God-given, so to results, I get detached
If gratitude is where you reside, then you'll be surprised
Van Gogh ain't sell him no paintings while he was here alive
Maybe this is all they'll appreciate on the day I die
I just put it in God's hands and get to work with mine

[Choir:]
He's never failed me
He's never failed me

[Angel Hill:]
Tell me why I feel like this
Water been still, I guess
How did I get used to the stress?
I guess I used you best
You don't (You don't)
Call me (Call me)
Your love (Your love)
Is all I need
