One Call
Latrell James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mom and daddy from the south
I like golds in my mouth
Like to drive real slow with the beat down low
And I never been a shooter but I rebound though
Like hair my blond though I’m the head honcho
Get the bread pronto, got these hands rondo
Pull up skrr, slo mo, we don’t know so so
And we buy what we like we don’t care bout logo
I’m so antisocial, even in my own home, even with my own phone
All is see is rose gold, and a diamond necklace
I’m so ambidextrous
One hand wheel and texting it
I need to talk to a therapist
Danger in my mind gets neglected and I don’t know who I’m affecting like this
Ain’t no space, ain’t no time
If I ever cross your mind, hit my line
I’m just a phone call away
All the homies fam of mine
Know that Jay and Memphis line, anytime
I’m just a phone call away
Everybody gotta die, we just here in line, I ain’t lying
Im just a phone call away
So hit me when you’re free
When you’re free
When you’re free
Here I got talking about me
I had a nightmare I hardly could sleep
I saw the boogie man enter my dream
I heard the boogie man knows how
To tweet
Don’t buy into anything keep your receipts
There’s a new story like every week
Not too much sugar when getting your tea
It turns to fruition and you get impeached
Bigger the bag, bigger the fee
Cover your ass to keep it brief
Roll with the flash under the seat
Cuz suckers will jack what they can’t reach
Then pawn and put it on Chinese for squad
Real niggas don’t let their lil homies starve
Money is cool but it’s blood before all and those are my dawgs those are my dawgs
I got a dollar store toothbrush, I got a millionaire smile
It’s call growing with the times and my nana needs an ounce
Do anything for the family
Ain’t no time or amount
There’s always space up on the couch
Piggy banks and accounts
Ain’t no space, ain’t no time
If I ever cross your mind, hit my line
I’m just a phone call away
All the homies fam of mine
Know that Jay and Memphis line, anytime
I’m just a phone call away
Everybody gotta die, we just waiting here in line, I ain’t lying
I'm just a phone call away
So hit me when you’re free




When you’re free
When you’re free

There’s always space up on the couch
There is always room for someone in need on my couch


Piggy banks and accounts
Both physical and digital savings


When you’re free
Whenever you have some free time
