Call the Shots
Leslie Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got control, got my hand on the trigger
Starting a whole new story
No, youβ²re not ready for what I'm gonna do
You had the bullets but now I got the gun
Look at me, Iβ²m a dangerous weapon
I picked myself up
Look, who's on top now
Look, who calls the shots now
Oh, oh, never knew the power in me
Now you see I got it
So, don't ever underestimate me
Tread carefully, I got this
Look, whoβ²s on top now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots
Built tough, got it all switched up
I like the view β²cause I'm looking down on you
Might say thereβ²s been a slight change
I'm running this game
I changed it up on you
You had the bullets but now I got the gun
Look at me Iβ²m a dangerous weapon
Thought you could break me
Thought you could take me down
Look, who's on top now
Look, who calls the shots now
Oh, oh, never knew the power in me
Now you see I got it
So, donβ²t ever underestimate me
Tread carefully, I got this
Look who's on top now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots
I'm laying down the law
β²Cause Iβ²m the, I'm the boss
So move, just move along
Step aside, step aside
Iβ²m changing up the game
Putting you in your place
Yeah, it's a brand-new day
Recognize (re-recognize)
Oh, oh, never knew the power in me
Now you see I got it
So (so), donβ²t (don't) ever underestimate me
Tread carefully, I got this
Look whoβ²s on top now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots now
Call the shots now
I call the shots
Yo Grace
Bling bling
I call the shots
I call the shots
The song "Call the Shots" by Leslie Grace talks about how the singer has been knocked down and had bullets fired at them, but they picked themselves up and now they call the shots. The lyrics make use of the metaphor of a gun, with the singer now having control of the weapon and aiming it at their oppressors. The chorus of the song is particularly empowering, as the singer proudly claims that they call the shots and that no one should underestimate them.
The verses of the song focus on the singer's journey and how they have transformed themselves into someone who is in control. The line "never knew the power in me" highlights the idea that the singer has always had the ability to call the shots, but they did not know it until they were faced with adversity. The chorus then reinforces this idea, as the singer confidently repeats that they call the shots. The song ends on a triumphant note, with the singer stating that they are the boss and that anyone who tries to stand in their way should move along.
Overall, "Call the Shots" is a song about empowerment and taking control of one's life. It is a song about overcoming challenges and emerging stronger and more confident than ever before.
