Wait a minute now, get it get it now (x3)
Now, now, now, now...
Ahh-ah-uh-uhh, yeah
It's the Cons' nigga, uhh
Ahh-ah-uh-uhh, yeah
It's E-P-C nigga, word
And you know how we do, uhh
Let me introduce to you
Uh uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh
Check one, check two, check - three
That's about as many checks as they have for me
So I made shorty go and shake her ass for me
Now she wonder why, I be takin half her fee
And she lookin like, is this how it has to be?
So I guess that I replied with the mack in me
And told her 'less you wanna see a, catastrophe
You better get up on that pole where that cash'll be
And we can make 'em spend the dough and hit the cash machine
It's no different than the old when you catchin fiends
Or the dollar cat you rolled when you stepped through Queens
So I made her change her clothes for the next two scenes
Now she "Dancing With the Stars" like Master P
And I almost had to shoot her like Cassidy
Cause do you know that she had the audacity
To let the next man take what's in her tassle piece, but now
(Chorus:)
Your girl, your girl keep callin me
Your girl, your girl keep callin me
That's cause your girl, your girl keep callin me
And she better have my money
Cause your girl, your girl keep callin me
Your girl, your girl keep callin me
That's cause your girl, your girl keep callin me
And she better have my money
(Interlude:)
Wait a minute now, get it get it now (x3)
Now, now, now, now...
(Consequence:)
I guess I'm here to tell you how the party got set off
Grindin on the wall and I had to wipe the sweat off
Next thing you know a couple guns got let off
Everybody buggin and the getaway sped off
They said it was a Blood so they took all they red off
But all the fellas at the dice game called they bet off
Cause like a basketball team that gets to cut the net off
Niggaz that's fiendin that's exactly what they set off
'Til they found out that they names got read off
Cause the police had to take Hempstead off
Didn't matter though cause the lawyers got Ted off
With too much evidence, couldn't get Fred off
And once he found, that his girl sucked Ed off
He-a told Ted to tell Ed to take his head off
But that ain't matter to him, cause he was gettin bread off
Pumpin out her crib until the other called dread off
And once he came by and saw the sheets from her bed off
That's when he realized she had also hit the dread off
To Ted, the dread, Ed, and Fred
All looked at each other in astonishment and said
(Chorus)
(Interlude x2)
(Chorus)
The lyrics to Consequence's song "Callin' Me" tell a story of a man who is being pursued by another man's girlfriend, who keeps calling him and trying to be with him. The rapper describes how he made her dance for him and takes half her fee while also warning her that she better get on the pole where the money is. He also talks about a party that gets set off and the chaos that ensues leading to arrests, betrayals, and violence. The chorus repeats the phrase "Your girl, your girl keep calling me" emphasizing the theme of the song.
The lyrics delve into the world of strip clubs, prostitution, and gang activity. The rapper's tone is confident, almost cocky as he talks about manipulating a woman for his own gain. There is also a sense that danger and violence are never far away, and that the man being pursued is not entirely safe.
One interesting fact about the song is that it features both Kanye West and John Legend, who are credited as writers and producers. It was released in 2007 on the album "Don't Quit Your Day Job!" which was produced entirely by Kanye West. The song received mixed reviews and was criticized for its explicit and misogynistic lyrics.
Another interesting fact is that the song samples the intro to "I'm Still #1" by Boogie Down Productions. The sample sets the tone for the song, which is a tribute to old school hip-hop and street culture.
The chords for the song are not readily available, as it is primarily a rap song without a prominent guitar or piano riff. However, the beat is based around a simple drum pattern with a bassline carrying the melody.
In conclusion, "Callin' Me" is a gritty and provocative song that explores themes of sex, money, and power through the lens of hip-hop culture. The lyrics are explicit and at times violent, but they also hint at a deeper sense of vulnerability and danger beneath the surface. The song features notable contributions from Kanye West and John Legend and is a testament to the enduring influence of old school hip-hop on contemporary rap music.

Wait a minute now, get it get it now (x3)
Hold on a moment, let's really understand this situation
It's the Cons' nigga, uhh
I'm Consequence, the rapper
And you know how we do, uhh
You're familiar with our way of operating
Check one, check two, check - three
Testing, testing, one, two, three
That's about as many checks as they have for me
I'm not receiving the recognition or money I deserve
So I made shorty go and shake her ass for me
I asked a woman to dance seductively for me
And she lookin like, is this how it has to be?
She's questioning whether she should be doing this
And told her 'less you wanna see a, catastrophe
I warned her of the consequences if she doesn't comply
Now she 'Dancing With the Stars' like Master P
She's dancing for money like a professional
Cause do you know that she had the audacity
Can you believe that she had the nerve
To let the next man take what's in her tassle piece, but now
She allowed someone else to take her earnings
Your girl, your girl keep callin me
Your girlfriend keeps contacting me
And she better have my money
She owes me payment for my services
I guess I'm here to tell you how the party got set off
I'll explain how the event started
Grindin on the wall and I had to wipe the sweat off
I was dancing provocatively and had to dry off
Next thing you know a couple guns got let off
Suddenly, gunshots were fired
They said it was a Blood so they took all they red off
The Blood gang members removed their red clothing
But all the fellas at the dice game called they bet off
The men playing dice canceled their bets
Cause like a basketball team that gets to cut the net off
They were celebrating prematurely
Niggaz that's fiendin that's exactly what they set off
Addicts are the ones who started the event
To Ted, the dread, Ed, and Fred
Referring to individuals by their names
All looked at each other in astonishment and said
Everyone had a surprising reaction
