Dyme-A-Duzin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You callin' my phone to see if I'm alright
But I can't answer now, 'cuz my room mate's asleep
It's 3 a.m. in Cali and I just hit the sheets
Because I worked all night and you worked all night
You just called to hear my voice before you catch that flight
And I hope you know to call me, as soon as you safe
When you first hit the ground and when you get to your place
I got time, if you got time
When you made me yours, I made you mine
Regardless of the space, we fine, regardless of the space, we shine
So when you so far, so gone
You're so far away
Every face time, phone call
I just call to say you: I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya
Stay Up! You the only one who make me, stay up
Girl, I'm coming home, why dont'cha, stay up
As soon as I touched town,
I make sure you high
You never come down, come down, baby
Even doe, I'm in another time zone,
You the only one in my mind, oh
Hit your Skype but you signed off,
Hit my face time when you time off
Knowing that we both get our grind on,
Knowing that we gotta stay focused.
On that red eye I stay hoping,
I'm back to the woods and the first thing smokin'
I got time, if you got time
When you made me yours, I made you mine
Regardless of the space, we fine, regardless of the space, we shine
So when you so far, so gone, you're so far away, every face time, phone call
I just call to say you: I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya
- Hello?
- Hey, what's good?
- I just landin'

- See ya soon
I got time, if you got time
When you made me yours, I made you mine
Regardless of the space, we fine, regardless of the space, we shine
So when you so far, so gone, you're so far away, every face time, phone call
I just call to say: I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya, I Love Ya
