Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Roll Call" by Lil Wayne feat. Ciara are about Ciara looking for a certain type of guy and calling out to him. She wants a "trap star," someone who is street smart and can handle themselves in tough situations. She wants someone who talks slick and has a ghetto demeanor, regardless of whether they represent the red or blue bandana. She also mentions wanting someone with a flashy car and big wheels.


Ciara is specifically looking for guys who are up to no good, the ones who are always involved in something and have a reputation. She wants to know where those guys are and where they've been recently. She uses the metaphor of looking for fresh-out-the-box forces, which could refer to fresh sneakers or new opportunities. If someone fits the description, she expects them to reach out to her and hook her up with whatever they have to offer. She wants all of it, whatever it may be.


The chorus is a call to action for the guy Ciara is seeking. She asks if they are the one she's looking for, and if they are, they need to stand up and make a move. She reiterates that they have what she wants, and it's time for them to answer her call and make their presence known.


In Lil Jon's verse, he introduces himself as the guy Ciara is looking for. He asserts that if someone is seeking him, he is available and ready to fulfill their expectations. He portrays himself as a thug and emphasizes his wealth, smoking habits, and love for money. He implies that he wants a woman with big breasts and buttocks and says he wants to touch her. He describes his flashy lifestyle, including his grill and chain, and mentions that women are attracted to him for his reputation. He ends the verse by emphasizing that all they need to do is holla back and he will provide whatever they need or want.


In Lil Wayne's verse, he introduces himself as Young Carter and emphasizes his confidence and high social status. He compares himself to a big dog off the leash and claims to be unstoppable. He mentions being high and states that if he were to come down, it would result in a major setback. He also describes his unique walking style and his fondness for red shorts and tight pants. He boasts about his wealth and compares his earnings to those of a white man. He concludes by suggesting that Ciara needs someone like him, highlighting their compatibility and potential as a couple.


The last section of the song is a continuation of Ciara's call to different groups of people. She extends her invitation to guys from downtown, great boys, scared beat, and waiters. She mentions being from Atlanta and being able to adapt to different environments. She welcomes all the guys and leaves it open for anyone to respond and let her know if they are the one she's been seeking.
