Call Me
Jay-Z feat. Blackstreet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And Ne-yo is like Young Michael, I'm Quincy hoe
Now hear the flow that broke the Da Vinci Code
I'm psycho, everything I wrote go together, so nice
Like a wedding make you wanna throw rice

I'm schitzo, cuckoo clock don't tick so
Write sometimes 'til the chicks noodles
I got screws loose
I pull words out the air like blue tooth

I'm a sandwich short of a picnic
Ignorant thoughts come across
You've sworn that I written this but I didn't
So maybe it's good to be crazy
Isn't it, baby?

I wrote your name on my wall
3000 times last night
You were on my mind
That's what you do to me
That's what you do
That's what you do to me
That's what you

Then one by one I went down the line
Just repeating it
'Cause it makes me smile
That's what you do to me
That's what you do
That's what you do to me
That's what you

Some say that it's just strange
To act that way
But they don't understand
No, they don't get it
You're so magnetic, though it's pathetic
To them I simply turn and say

Just call me crazy
Insane, deranged
It don't matter to me
Call it what you want to, I don't care
And it doesn't make a difference
Long as she's there

Just call me crazy
Lovin' you is crazy
Crazy is what I'll be
Ohh, crazy, ohh crazy, ohh
Just call me crazy

Lately it seems
Like every song I write is about you
Ohh, I love your style
That's what you do to me
That's what you do
That's what you do to me
That's what you do

And it just don't make no sense
How my swagger is crooked
If you ain't by my side
That's what you do to me
That's what you do
That's what you do to me
That's what you do

Just call me crazy
Insane, deranged
It don't matter to me
Call it what you want to, I don't care
And it doesn't make a difference
Long as she's there

Just call me crazy
Lovin' you is crazy
Crazy is what I'll be
Ohh, crazy, ohh crazy, ohh
Just call me crazy

I talk to your picture
Ohh, write your name in the mirror
Right after I love you down
I need you so much
Can't get enough

Just call me crazy
Insane, deranged
It don't matter to me
Call it what you want to, I don't care
And it doesn't make a difference
Long as she's there

Just call me crazy
Lovin' you is crazy
Crazy is what I'll be




Ohh, crazy, ohh crazy, ohh
Just call me crazy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jay-Z and Blackstreet's "Call Me" are all about the feelings of love that can drive us crazy. Jay-Z starts off the first verse with a reference to himself and Ne-Yo being like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, respectively. He then talks about his own flow and writing style, describing it as something that all fits together perfectly like a wedding, despite the fact that he also feels like he has some screws loose. He then says he wrote his love interest's name on the wall three thousand times as he thinks about her constantly.


The chorus of the song centers around the idea of being called crazy for loving someone. Jay-Z talks about how it doesn't matter to him what people say or think as long as she's there. He repeats the phrase "Just call me crazy" throughout the song as a way of embracing the intensity of his emotions. In the second verse, he talks about how he can't focus on anything without his love interest around, and how he talks to her picture and writes her name in the mirror.


Overall, the song is a tribute to the irrational, intense feelings of love that can consume us and drive us to do crazy things. It's about the way that love can make us feel like we're walking a fine line between sanity and madness, but how we embrace that feeling because it's a sign of how much we care.
