Angels Calling // My Dad
Kenny Mason Lyrics

Talkin' high, mumblin'
I'm speaking softly and unclearly

It's me tryin' to tell you how I feel (oh)
I'm attempting to express my emotions to someone

Call denied, dropped again, but I
My phone call was rejected and disconnected, but I

I keep tryin', keep tryin', keep tryin', keep tryin'
I persist in making the call despite the difficulties

Please, pick up the phone when you see angels calling
Answer the call when something important is trying to reach you

You see angels calling, it's okay, keep calling me
I'm the one trying to reach out to you, keep trying to contact me

I know you not gon' check on me 'til the check on me
You won't care about me until I'm successful and wealthy

The way that you flexed on me had effects on me (effects on me)
The way you showed off your success impacted me negatively

I really finessed, when I got hit in the chest
I skillfully got out of a dangerous situation

In the hospital, I bled slowly with all of my friends posted
I was hospitalized and my friends stayed by my side during my recovery

You ain't even call, you barely involved
You didn't reach out to me and don't show much interest in my life

You arrogant, non-caring and non-barring
You have an inflated ego and don't care about me or anything that affects me

I bury myself in my thoughts
I become consumed with my own inner monologue

Try addressing them all, and I make a mess of it all
When I attempt to confront my thoughts, I end up causing more problems

They come out best in a song (song)
I'm most capable of expressing my thoughts and emotions through music

Everyone knows I'm at my best when alone
I'm most productive and creative when I'm by myself

I wish they was wrong
I am sad that what people say about my solitary tendencies is true

I distance myself from everyone helping me
I tend to push away people who try to assist or support me

Don't message me, let me evolve
I need space and time to grow and change at my own pace

You askin' too many questions, let me recharge
I'm feeling drained by answering your inquiries, give me time to rest

I can say it when facing you, but I was thinking
I could tell you this in person, but I was considering another way of conveying my message

You'd understand it better when playin' it, I ain't playin' you
You would comprehend my perspective more clearly if you heard it through my music

If it offended you, hitting you, know I ain't plan to
If my words or actions hurt you, it was unintentional

But if it caused you to leave, you was probably meant to
If my behavior resulted in you leaving, it was a sign that we were not meant to be in each other's lives

My dawgs that ride for me in darker times
My loyal friends who support me during difficult times

Finna get all the shine
They are about to receive the recognition and credit they deserve

Niggas was starvin', they ain't give us a bargain
We were struggling and didn't receive any assistance or help from others

They just thought we was barkin' loud
They viewed our complaints and struggles as empty complaints

Now I'm in charge of shit, I gotta charge 'em now
I am now in a position of power and need to hold people accountable

Ain't no more drama now, I know my mama proud
I've moved past the drama and my mother would be proud of my progress

Give her my heart until the day that my heart give out (yeah)
I will love and support my mother forever

No wonder no one's around
It's no surprise that I'm often alone and isolated

You wasn't one to dial
You didn't make an effort to contact me

I see you callin', now
I notice that you're trying to reach me now

I'm not the one to dial
However, I'm not the one initiating contact

Hey, Dave, what's going on, man? This is, uh, KJ's father
This is a voicemail message from Kenny Jr.'s father to someone named Dave

I just wanted to talk to his number that I have
I'm trying to get in touch with my son's phone number

Tell him to call his dad, um, let him know that, um, I love him
Ask him to call me and inform him that I love him

And I'm proud of him and I'm trying to hook up and meet somewhere
I want to express my admiration and plan to meet up with him soon

Tell him, I have work Monday, so that I'll try to be Sunday afternoon
Let him know I work on Monday, but I will try to meet him on Sunday afternoon

If not, uh, 25th is the most important date
If our Sunday meeting doesn't work out, the 25th is the most important date to call me back by

That he need to put down and tell him to call me back
Tell him to note this date and call me back

Uh, this his father
That concludes the voicemail message from his father

Seems as if these dreams of riches
It appears that my aspirations for wealth

Keep specifically convincing me to get it
Are the sole reason I am driven to pursue success

Wings to lift the leaps I've leapt
I have every reason to believe success is within reach

Have reached the width from east to left with ease
I have achieved success beyond my wildest dreams

No effort needed, yet the easy steps don't please me
Although success comes easily to me, it's not fulfilling

Death between the wealth and me have kept me speedy
The possibility of failure or death has pushed me to work harder

Blinkin' left my thinkin'
I am overwhelmed by my emotions and thoughts

Thinkin' death will meet me when I least expect the meeting
I feel that I will die before achieving my goals, unexpectedly

One million, ten million, hundred million, just a billion
My goals involve achieving a large amount of wealth

Don't be greedy
I am aware that my drive for success could lead to greed and need to avoid it

Just to build a home for needy ones
I want to use my wealth to help those who are struggling and need assistance

Since, no one built a home for me and
I recognize that I had to work hard and struggle to achieve success, without help from others

My dad, my dad, my dad
This line pays homage to the father mentioned earlier in the song

Did a whole lot of shit that was bad
Although his father made mistakes, he acknowledges that he still loves him

Just to rent a home to sleep in, uh
His father went through difficult times but did the best he could to provide a home for his family
