Roll Call
DJ MR. KING Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

School's in session are you ready for the roll call
The Heavens ringing and the sinners hearing no call
If you don't make it to Heaven then it's your fault
Cause you're the one who went and cut the phone off
Every time The Father call you go and hang up
When Jesus wanna talk you tell Him He can't change ya
You never wanna spend no time and He can't make ya
So in the afterlife He'll see you as a stranger
My Lord only knows who does the will of His Father
A false view of Jesus that's preparing you for slaughter
Sin don't bother you, you be living so unbothered
But your spirit so unstable riding on a tetter totter
There's trouble in the world I know that life is full of problems
But your problems will be worse if you're sinning to resolve them
Leave them at the throne
From your problems in the world, to your problems in the home
Don't be carrying your burdens till the day you're dead and gone
Come to Jesus if you're weary
God got the answers that you cannot get from Siri
When you really know The Father ain't no asking can you hear me
Cause The Lord is ever present and He's never disappearing
If you seen the cloud rider tell me would you be cheering
And I ain't talking Goku
Jesus over everything there's so much He can show you
How He gave His life for you and He ain't even owe you
Believe Him and He'll show you
I love the living word cause He teach
I love the living word cause He preach
Face to face it's either joy or it's grief
Face the truth or you gotta face the heat
I love the living word cause He teach
I love the living word cause He preach
Face to face it's either joy or it's grief
Face the truth or you gotta face the heat
They wonder why we glorifying Jesus
When He stepped down from Heaven just to free us
Truth be told know we need God, He don't need us
Who could Blame Him if He let the Devil keep us
Cause humanity loves evil
You don't know the love Of God if you're hating other people
Hate the sin not the person
You'll never see the root only staring at the surface
You can't even help yourself without spiritual discernment
Get your house in order
Filth in every corner
Please don't be a hoarder
Tryna hold on to the world now your spirit feeling tortured
Cause you never clean it up and you know can't nobody force ya
Can't nobody force it
No Star Wars reality a battle of the forces
There's free will, The serpent wanna kill you with your choices
School's in session so it's best for you to cancel out the noises
School's in session are you ready for the roll call
The Heavens ringing and the sinners hearing no call
If you don't make it to Heaven then it's your fault
Cause you're the one who went and cut the phone off
I love the living word cause He teach
I love the living word cause He preach
Face to face it's either joy or it's grief
Face the truth or you gotta face the heat
I love the living word cause He teach
I love the living word cause He preach




Face to face it's either joy or it's grief
Face the truth or you gotta face the heat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ MR. KING's song "Roll Call" convey a strong spiritual message about the importance of faith, repentance, and the consequences of one's actions. The song begins by setting the scene of school in session, symbolizing life on earth, and asking if the listener is ready for the roll call, which represents judgment before God. The Heavens are ringing, meaning that divine judgment is imminent, and sinners are urged to pay attention.


The lyrics emphasize personal responsibility for one's own salvation, suggesting that if someone fails to make it to Heaven, it is their own fault. It is implied that the sinners have metaphorically cut off communication with God, refusing His calls and rejecting Jesus' attempts to change them. The indifference and lack of commitment to spending time with God is highlighted, as well as the consequences of such choices. In the afterlife, they will be seen as strangers to Him.


The song also addresses the false views of Jesus that may lead people astray. It warns against becoming desensitized to sin and living in an unbothered state. The metaphor of riding on a teeter-totter illustrates the instability of such a spiritual state. While acknowledging that life is full of problems, the lyrics encourage listeners to bring their burdens to God and not carry them until the end. The answers to their problems can be found through Jesus, who is always present and willing to help.


The song also highlights the teachings and preachings of the living word, referring to Jesus as the source of truth and guidance. It emphasizes the necessity of facing reality and making choices based on spiritual discernment. The lyrics suggest that humanity's love for evil must be overcome, and true love for God is reflected in loving others. Avoiding superficial judgment, the song urges listeners to dig deeper and see the root of sin while helping themselves through spiritual growth.


The lyrics also touch upon the battle between good and evil, with references to Star Wars and the forces at play. Free will is acknowledged, but the serpent, symbolizing temptation, seeks to lead individuals astray with its choices. The song advises the listeners to cancel out the noise of the world and focus on God's teachings in order to make righteous choices.


In conclusion, "Roll Call" is a thought-provoking and spiritually illuminating song that encourages listeners to take responsibility for their faith and embrace the teachings of Jesus. It emphasizes the need for repentance, spiritual discernment, and a sincere connection with God. Failure to do so is conveyed as the listener's own fault, with a warning of the consequences of turning away from God. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and the transformative power of embracing the living word.
