Just looking back was it who we were before the fall
Staring at your phone
Just waiting for my call
And when he
Can't hold it down for you like I do
Baby don't you worry
Don't you cry
When we exchange these words
Do they cut down to the core
Of who we were long before
All this critical thinking
Got you all shook up
Now your reviewing something
About your love
And when we decay
Who will wash us away
Before we wake
I feel so alone
Could you just try
To understand
That I am not the man I was before
So pick me up
Just to let me down
I speak no ill word about you
Before you spend your life
Just looking back was it who we were before the fall
Staring at your phone
Just waiting for my call
And when he
Can't hold it down for you like I do
Baby don't you worry
Don't you cry
I am just a phone call away
Drinking liquor all night
Just to feel alright
Got me thinking sideways
Say if I was better
Would we stick together
All of our lives
Wherever the wind blows
I find myself drawn
Back to you
Just tell me
Are you sleeping all alone
Because i don't know how long
This can carry on for
(In those heartfelt)
(In those heat filled)
(In those moments)
(In those moments)
(In those)
Are you hiding my heart
Inside your banks
Only there
Only there
I feel
Something worth fighting for
Before you spend your life
Just looking back was it who we were before the fall
Staring at your phone
Just waiting for my call
And when he
Can't hold it down for you like I do
Baby don't you worry
Don't you cry
I am just a phone call away
In the first verse, the lyrics highlight a sense of reflection and nostalgia. It urges the listener to consider their past and question if they were truly content with their previous self before experiencing a downfall. The mention of staring at a phone and waiting for a call suggests a longing for connection and companionship.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's availability and willingness to be there for the person they are addressing. It reassures them that they are just a phone call away, offering support and comfort. There is an underlying contrast between the current situation with someone else and the singer's ability to fill that void.
The second verse delves into the coping mechanisms and self-reflection that follows a tumultuous period in a relationship. The lyrics mention drinking to numb the pain and feeling unsure about the future. The question arises whether things would have been different if the singer had been a better person. The line about being drawn back to the person suggests a lingering attachment or desire to reconcile.
The bridge introduces a deeper emotional layer. It questions whether the person in question is hiding the singer's heart within themselves, implying that they hold the power and emotional connection. This reinforces the significance of their relationship and suggests that it is worth fighting for. The closing lines of the chorus repeat the assurance of being a phone call away, driving home the message of unwavering support and availability.
Overall, the song explores themes of introspection, longing, and the desire for a meaningful connection. It encourages the listener to reflect on their past, assess their current situation, and consider the value of a significant relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and emotional availability from the singer, offering comfort and reassurance to the person they address.

I looked around me
I realised something
Some say if you want to change the world
You need to change yourself
And that is something I can't argue with
I realised I could see the top
But that was only when I fell into the pit
I'll change my heart
I with will will create art
This is just a start
Call it a Easter egg
But these were laced by chickens
I'm slick
But I'm not Rick
What am I a prick
Thanks I'm just sick
What's average
I don't know
Because we are one in the same
Or same in different ones
I just typed art
But demons beat me to the start
Let it be known
I'm going to the zone
There you can't use a phone
But I'll be fine even if I'm alone

I feel so blessed to have hit my teen partying years in the early 90s when Wu and other all time classic groups were crushing it. Most of the trash new rappers these days dont even deserve to be classed in the same genre. Sick new song too!
