Don't Call Me
Carnage feat. Young Thug and Shakka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't call me, don't call me
'Less you're in pain on the floor
Don't call me, don't call me
Honey you made your choice
Turned your back on my voice
So why's your name on my phone?
Don't call me, don't call me
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Your mom said more than hello
'Cause we're talking, must have loved it
I paid attention and dough
I could hardly afford it
I was all you needed and more
All the signs I ignored
Still you made him your choice
Don't call me, don't call me
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Honey you, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Only you
Do your thing, baby
Do your thing, baby, baby do your thing, baby
Yeah smoke out your brains, baby
Yeah, let's get stoned, do the same, baby
Tomorrow, yeah, and if you broke, bae you can borrow it
Yeah, I want you, baby no sorrow
I do this shit because I got it, oh
I got bitches with me, I got on a poncho
And I know you wanna beat it like brrrambo
Yeah but I got 'em sittin' up in the nosebleeds
You can't see 'em 'less you own a helicopter, oh
You throwed off, you should go and see a doctor, bro
I'm standin' up tall on the bankroll
One, two, three, make the crowd roar
Nigga, one, two, three, make the crowd go
Crazy
Call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Ayy Carnage, I got you, mothafucka
So why's, call me, back on my voice
I swear to God, nigga, you dig?
With a golden shovel, iced out AP, not the Rollie bezel, oh
Honey you, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
So why, call me, back on my voice
Only you
In this song, the singer is addressing someone who is staring at them from across the room. The person seems to be fascinated by the singer, who feels like they are under a spell. They can't help but feel out of control and drawn to this person. The singer admits that they aren't good at one-liners but they are good at dancing and would rather just dance with the person instead of trying to talk to them. The lyrics also mention Cupid's javelin, implying that the attraction between the two is a result of love and possibly fate.
The song seems to be about being infatuated with someone and feeling powerless in their presence. The repetition of the line "you don't know what you do to me" emphasizes the intensity of the feelings the singer is experiencing. The lyrics also hint at a world where people have to take a daily serum to protect themselves from toxic gas, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the state of society.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it's about the idea of destiny or fate. The lines about Cupid's javelin and the repetition of "you don't know what you do to me" suggest that the attraction between the two people is not something that can be explained rationally. They are drawn to each other by forces beyond their control.

You can't call this song bad by any means. The way Thugger fluctuates his voice in the perfect pitch as to pay homage to his mother's concern for him and him deciding he's just gonna do whatever the fuck he wants, even with her subsequently cutting him off, which evolves into him not giving a fuck about keeping their relationship intact - along with Shakka's elegant vocal range and accent to add to the beautiful atmosphere of this masterpiece - is unlike anything music has ever seen.
@alicemudgarden92
This EP left me wanting more. They should've made this a full album
