Call Me
E.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's lonely in the streets
But you can always come to me
Forever 10 toes
Give you anything you need
Steady making sure
That you're in the right head space
I know its hard
To get out of a dark place
Hold it all in
Cause you don't wanna seem weak
But once it builds up
You can barely even breathe
You seen a lot of things
And I've witnessed them too
I saw it break you down
Man I saw it all change you
But I was there to pick you up
Pulled you from the hate
Changed perspectives on love
The hood always here
But it ain't never been loyal
When you was down bad
Who was there to support you
Saved your soul by myself
When the demons came out
I was the only one who helped
Nobody can compare to all I do
Start a whole war
In your defense that's the truth
If you ever feeling stuck
Like you running out of time
Call me I'm always on your side
Call me yea
You can just call me
Call me yea
Whenever you need me
Kept you motivated
Cause you're your worst enemy
Gave every reason
For another girl to envy me
I chose to stick around
Cause you showed me different
Even when i felt the distance
I give you more cause
I know you come from less and
We relate since the streets
Left us damaged
I know all the weight on your shoulders can fall
But through all the pain it may cause
You can just call me yea
Call me
You can just call me
Whenever you need me
If you ever feeling stuck




Like you running out of time
Call me yea

Overall Meaning

The song opens with a call for action – to call the artist if the listener wants to leave this world that is slipping away. The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the sense of urgency and the desire to escape, to find a world that is not slipping away. The first verse seems to reflect on the contradictory messages the artist received from their parents about the world – one sees it as mystical and beautiful, while the other sees it as mechanical and tyrannical. The juxtaposition of these two perspectives creates confusion in the artist's mind, and they struggle to find their place in the world. The second verse seems to speak about the harsh reality of life and the struggle to make peace with it. The lyrics describe the daily struggle to survive in a world where many people are only interested in amassing wealth and possessions, rather than seeking meaning and fulfillment.


The artist seems to be expressing their frustration with the world, and the inability of many people to see beyond their own selfish interests. They describe the current state of affairs as a world that is slipping away, but they also offer a glimpse of hope in the final lines of the song. The repeated call to “Call Me” seems to suggest that the artist is willing to help others find their way out of this world that is slipping away.


Overall, the lyrics of E.K.'s song Call Me are a plea for action, a call to recognize the beauty and value of life, and a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference.

ENGLISH LYRICS TRANSLATION:
It’s your boy
Yeah yeah x2
Pull up on you like agency
Give you give you adverse affects

You’re full of fear, I can sense it
Left you bloody like menses
Fuck around till you come to your senses
I’m the future and you’re the past, tenses
Speechless, you do not have the answers
Like the Americans in Afghanistan
One call, hitman will make the hit
Rub a lamp, what’s your command, my lord?
Gangland boy, my city proper
There’s Stabbings in broad daylight
They bite my hand but I’m still feeding
Serving milk to the snakes up my sleeve
Who the fuck told you I was offended?
I’m chill and they’re screaming on the beats
Fucking visionary, son, I’m seeing visions
I try to leave no boy behind
You a pussy, scrap meat in your dreams
I hit a million so they mocking me
Put a crumb in their mouth, let no one go hungry
Let no pussy ass’s throat remain thirsty
Don’t let anyone get the wrong idea
This’s the character that doesn’t even stay in the story
ITUS, they’re putting his hat on his head
We’re the depths and they’re only the edge
We've been garaai’n, son, for some 10 years
I only write real-life incidents
I’d say, I don’t have arrogance in me
But these days, the mood stays off
Rap games’ atif arrives late to the shoot
Boys listen to my songs
Scrutinize them
I skrrrt, alone in your hood
They’re all hyenas
They’re not gonna join the herd
I fight myself, call that a win-win
Your Countdown starts
Count your career’s days
Make an ake it rain on you, that lokhandwala drizzlin
I opened their eyes like open sesame
They don’t fuck with you like you got an std
You don’t got no wave, son, you’re an mp3

Pull up on you like agency
Sit down cuz the thing gets bumpy
Give you adverse affects
If a mf gets too comfy
Pull up on you like agency
Whatever doubts remain, boy, come see
Give you adverse affects

Pull up on you like a shelby
This forehead hot like a blinder
She wants fendi
But I’m the devil, got Prada on my mind
Your times up, my times now now
Cursed, less time, your countdowns on
SoundCloud was dead till yesterday
These days gram models ask me for shout outs
I turned around and returned their doubts
Bow down I’m the king of the whole shit
I come and go around town with the dope chick
They used to yowl yowl,
they dont talk now
Keep pounding the ground, play it on the roundabout
Steam hit once ounce, that’s why we talk sick
Your baby’s toxic
Gives you hickeys on the hick
Give me a blast on the sticky icky icky
It’s a sticky situation so she’s nervous
Asshole print it, the real story’s getting buried
Issa joke to them
Hip hops being sold
Fames a diamond but they’re after the clout stick
The responsibility I shouldered
That’s not your right
The fans believe
I don’t have doubts either
Love gasoline
Then it’s gonna catch fire
We’re gonna scatter
You know these boys are warriors
My jobs to kill, you’re gonna cover it up
Boy My glass full of bhang, yours is broth
Behave yourself, rude, you’re in jeopardy
Bitch I’m done taking shots, not gonna give a fuck
Yeah
They at the signal, I’m the red light
Poor things started crying, they got less life
When we set out, no support left or right
Y’all were sleeping but nevermind
Now don’t say anything special in front of anyone
Just blow grass, boy, you got it easy
I’m not here to see what’s feasible,
Now they upcharge, greedy, I never imagined those fees yesterday
When they hustle for real, should we forget how yesterdays passed?
I’m double trouble
Don’t give me a reason
Actually I’m so busy, check out my scene
Boys take shots at me, the meme pages get em to me
Scene tayt laaley my scene tayt
Lean back, boy, good job lean back
Mess with one, the whole team plays tag
More famous than you is the Highzone bean bag


Pull up on you like agency
Sit down cuz a thing gets bumpy
Give you adverse affects
If a mf gets too comfy
Pull up on you like agency
Whatever doubts remain, boy, come see
Give you adverse effects
If a mf tryna get funky
You’re full of fear, I can sense it
On our bench, the wack boys can’t sit
Left you bloody like menses
Left you mfing anxious
