Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see I gotta dead you like Onika did Safaree
Quick to save face when we pumped through the lobby
Sucks that we couldn't keep it buck, I'm sorry so...
Goodnight, booked flight, redeye on the West Coast
Promoters got my money so it's on to the next show
All bark no bite, digging on my mental
Why you always fronting, keep it real it's a essential
Mind games just for fun, should've hit it and run
Caught out on a limb, we should have kept it at done
Now I'm sitting in my feelings with my face on numb
Who's that peeking in my window?
I guess they got the word out cause now your boy is single
I'ma hit the city up and I'm down to mingle
Player talking fly shit, I wonder what that mouth do
You think this shit is sweet like honey to a bee
I been attracting ballers and actors around me
I been here already, Jersey bred like Fetty
My come up is kinda steady so groupies be flocking heavy
The thirst is so cute, chickens up out the coop
They perched up on a roof just waiting on me to swoop
And here come my ex, he sitting there looking stressed
I'm moving on to the next, he calling and send a text like
Yo it's Cakes, if you got something sweet to say just leave your name and number after the beat, alright
New phone, who dis?
New phone, who dis?
New phone, who dis? Cutthroat ruthless
Don't appreaciate my love then I leave you looking stupid
You know how I do this, I switch up so clueless
Could catch me getting wasted doing jello shots with Cupid
New phone, who dis?
I'm moving on to the next, he calling and send a text like
High maintenance, very little patience
The moves I be making wipe the smiles off niggas faces
Gotta serve it up gutter keep him tied up like my laces
Keep a killer roster just to cover all my bases
High maintenance, very little patience
The moves I be making wipe the smiles off niggas faces
Gotta serve it up gutter keep him tied up like my laces
Keep a killer roster just to cover all my bases
Tummy getting flatter, ass getting fatter
Watch me serve it up, lil' hex on a platter
And I'm blocking fools in my Gmail with the chatter
Watch me whip it up, top chef with the batter
New phone, who dis? Switch up my blueprints
Twist up my body on the ceiling leaving footprints
The best you ever had, had to re-up on some new shit
Feelings get you hurt coming at me on some rude shit
New phone, who dis? Cutthroat ruthless
Don't appreaciate my love then I leave you looking stupid
You know how I do this, I switch up so clueless
Could catch me getting wasted doing jello shots with Cupid
New phone, who dis? Cutthroat ruthless
Don't appreaciate my love then I leave you looking stupid
You know how I do this, I switch up so clueless
Could catch me getting wasted doing jello shots with Cupid
The lyrics of "New Phone" by Cakes Da Killa start with the singer being disappointed that their partner did not meet their expectations. They then decide to leave the relationship because they cannot keep up with their partner's façades. A reference is made to the rapper Nicki Minaj's breakup with her partner Safaree. After leaving, the singer heads off to the West Coast for their next gig, leaving their former partner behind. Following this, the song becomes more focused on the singer's life without the former partner. They have a lot of fans and groupies, with people even waiting on rooftops to see them. The song ends with the singer shunning former lovers and blocking them from contacting them anymore.
"New Phone" is a song about moving on and cutting off toxic people from one's life. The song suggests that the rapper is happy to take control of their love life again, as they were unhappy with their previous partner. They also emphasize that they are not afraid to leave people behind, even if it may seem harsh. The song shows empowerment and the idea that life is too short for bad relationships.
