Yeah

I know you hear me calling
I know you hear me calling you, yeah
Baby, no it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah
And girl I know you hear me calling
I ain't tyna' bother you, yeah
And I know it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah

She told me
She want to live in a mansion, ay
Don't want to live on this planet, ay
You need to come back to Earth
You need to lower your standards, look
I sounded just like her mama, and
I need to cut out the acting, I told her
I know you want the designer, yeah
Silver utensils and napkins, look
She want that Dolce Gabbana, ay
She going back to the baggage, ay
She rather die than be average, ay
She want her life to be lavish, ay
She want that broccoli and cabbage, ay
She want to buy that McLaren, look
Only got one life to live, so
She want to ball like Ulandus

I know you hear me calling
I know you hear me calling you, yeah
Baby, no it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah
And girl I know you hear me calling
I ain't tyna' bother you, yeah
And I know its not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah

She told me
She want that pedigree
She wanna cook, she want the recipe ay
She keep on telling me
Being a star is part of her destiny, ay
She know she got it, yeah
Writing and signing just some of her specialties, ay
More live a novelty so many people have copied her melodies
Maybe it's love, maybe it's hate
Maybe they just getting drunk off of jealousy
Maybe it's God, maybe it's fate,
Maybe it's meant to be part of your legacy
I know I called, I know it's late
I know some people be searching treachery
I know it all, I can relate
That's why I keep on just calling you steadily like

I know you hear me calling
I know you hear me calling you, yeah
Baby, no it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah
And girl I know you hear me calling
I ain't tyna' bother you, yeah
And I know it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah

She wanna ball
She want a Spalding Louis Vuitton
She want it all
She want that Cardi, Nicki Minaj
She living large
She want a standing ovation applause
Really don't care if she fall
She don't see nothing at all
Write on the walls, right over walls
You really could put
God on a call
Skype Him and all
She just gone
Look at her phone, say nothing at all
And then she gone
Make an excuse as to why she didn't call
But girl

I know you hear me calling
I know you hear me calling you, yeah
Baby, no it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah
And girl I know you hear me calling
I ain't tyna' bother you, yeah




And I know it's not important
I just want to talk to you, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Calling" by Feat. Mary & Norman seems to be about trying to get in touch with someone who the singer cares about deeply, but who is either not responsive or has specific demands and desires that the singer is struggling to fulfill. The use of the repeated phrase "I know you hear me calling" emphasizes the singer's sense of desperation and frustration in their efforts to make a connection. The second verse, in particular, emphasizes the material demands and expectations of the person the singer is trying to contact, with mentions of mansions, designer brands, and expensive cars. The singer seems to acknowledge that these demands are unlikely to be met, but still holds onto hope that they can at least have a conversation.


The song also touches on themes of fame and ambition, with lines about wanting to be a star and having a legacy. There is a sense that the person the singer is trying to connect with is driven by a desire for success and recognition, and that this is causing some distance or disconnection between them. The repeated refrain of "it's not important, I just want to talk to you" suggests that the singer may be feeling neglected or overlooked, but still values their relationship with this person.


Overall, "Calling" seems to be a thoughtful meditation on the challenges of maintaining relationships in the modern world, where technology and ambition can make it difficult to connect on a deeper level. The song's melancholy tone and introspective lyrics make it a powerful commentary on the human condition, and a reminder of the importance of nurturing connections with those we care about.
