Call Me
NAV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Metro Boomin want some more, nigga)

They tell me, "Don't forget where you came from"
I regret what I came from
In my old hood movin' like I got a vest on me
I'ma keep on winnin', you should place your bets on me
I could open up a bakery, baguettes on me
Walkin' through the mall, I got a check on me
Designer look the best on me
I got lots of pressure, lotsa stress on me
Independent, I got people that depend on me
Knew you was a fake, you can't pretend on me
What I used to spend on you, I spend on me
Somehow all these problems keep on landin' on me
I went on a mission with a bad bitch
3 AM, I'm gettin' Backwoods like I'm average
All this money turned me to a savage
My life was better when I didn't have shit

Do you know how it feel to feel alone?
Bought myself a house, to feel like I ain't home
Drivin' by myself, ain't got nowhere to go
I just took two 30s, now I'm in my zone
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know

Me and Metro Boomin' want some more, yeah
All this money make me bored, yeah
But there's lots of drugs to explore, yeah
I'm a boss, yeah, I could employ ya
Couldn't buy one, now I got four, yeah
Used to pray feds don't kick down the door, yeah
Runnin' back the sack, the trap feel like a sport, yeah
Yeah, I'm famous but I miss my life before, yeah
Finally got some money, can't go to the store
I lose every girl I love when I'm on tour
My mama callin' me and I ignore
Runnin' from my problems 'til my feet get sore

Do you know how it feel to feel alone?
Bought myself a house, to feel like I ain't home
Drivin' by myself, ain't got nowhere to go
I just took two 30s, now I'm in my zone
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know
Are you really here for me? I don't know

I got what you need, you feelin' lonely?
I need you to hold me
I hope you mean everything that you told me
I'll try to come back to you, girl, I'm sorry
If you miss me, just call me
You try to diss me 'cause you salty
Did this on my own, it's all me
I just wish that you would call me

Call me
I just wish that you would call me up
Wish that you would call me
I just wish that you would call me up
Wish that you would call me
I just wish that you would call me up
Wish that you would call me
I just wish that you would call me up
Me up
Just wish that you would call me up
Me up, me up
I just wish that you would call me up
Me up, me up




I just wish that you would call me up
Me up

Overall Meaning

In "Call Me," NAV delves into his feelings of isolation despite his wealth and success. The song begins with NAV acknowledging the constant push for him to create more music by stating, "Metro Boomin want some more, nigga." He then reflects on the words of wise people in his life who have encouraged him to remember his roots and the challenges he's faced through the attainment of success. NAV then states that he regrets where he has come from, indicating that the journey to success was not without difficulties. He then describes the anxiety he feels when returning to his old neighborhood as he is wary of potential threats, moving around with a metaphorical vest whenever he goes there.


NAV goes on to assert his confidence in his ability to continue to succeed, inviting listeners to place their bets on him. He also emphasizes his wealth by saying he could set up a bakery with baguettes and walk through a mall with a significant amount of money in his possession. However, NAV acknowledges the pressure that comes with success, having people depend on him and dealing with fake individuals trying to gain something from him. He then reflects on the fact that the same money he was spending on others is now spent on himself. Despite accumulating wealth, NAV states that problems keep arising, and his happiest moments were when he had nothing.


In the chorus of the song, NAV expresses the loneliness he feels despite the wealth and success by questioning whether people are genuinely there for him. He goes on to describe the house he bought, which was supposed to make him feel at home but only served to remind him of the loneliness he feels when driving around aimlessly. He seeks comfort in the form of drugs by taking two 30s and entering a zone, questioning whether others are really there for him.


Throughout the song, NAV highlights that his wealth and success are insufficient to quell his loneliness and seeks companionship in the form of an unknown woman. He hopes that the woman he meets will seek comfort in him as well, wishing that she would call him to fill the void in his life.
