This song specifically on the album is a song about Kenny Mason’s complicated relationship with his father. The first half tells the story of how his Dad only calls him “when the check on me,” or when Kenny gets a bit of money, continuing with how his Dad isn’t involved in his life much, especially...
[Part I: Angels Calling]
[Chorus]
Talkin' high, mumblin'
It's me tryin' to tell you how I feel (Oh)
Call denied
Dropped again, but I
I keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin', keep tryin'
Wireless
Please pick up the phone when you see angels calling
You see angels calling, it's okay, keep calling me
Please pick up the phone when you see angels calling
You see angels calling, it's okay, keep call—
[Verse 1]
I know you not gon' check on me 'til the check on me
The way that you flexed on me had effects on me
I really finessed, when I got hit in the chest
In the hospital, I bled slowly with all of my friends posted
You ain't even call, you barely involved
You arrogant, non-caring and non-barring
I bury myself in my thoughts
Try addressing them all, and I make a mess of it all
They come out best in a song (Song)
Everyone knows I'm at my best when alone
I wish they was wrong
I distance myself from everyone helping me
Don't message me, let me evolve
You askin' too many questions, let me recharge
I can say it when facing you, but I was thinking
You'd understand it better when playin' it, I ain't playin' you
If it offended you hitting you, know I ain't plan to
But if it caused you to leave, you was probably meant to
My dawgs that ride for me in darker times finna get all the shine Niggas was starvin', they ain't give us a bargain
They just thought we was barkin' loud
Now I'm in charge of shit, I gotta charge 'em now
Ain't no more drama now, I know my mama proud
Give her my heart until the day that my heart give out (Yuh)
No wonder no one's around, you wasn't one to dial
I see you callin' now, I'm not the one to dial
[Chorus]
Talkin' high, mumblin'
It's me tryin' to tell you how I feel
Call denied
Dropped again, but I
I keep trying, keep trying
Keep trying, keep trying
Wireless
Please pick up the phone when you see angels calling
You see angels calling, it's okay, keep calling me
Please pick up the phone when you see angels calling
You see angels calling, it's okay, keep calling me
[Part II: My Dad]
[Interlude: Kenny Mason's Father]
Hey, Dave, what's going on, man? This is, uh, KJ's father
I just wanted to talk to his number that I have
Tell him to call his dad, um, let him know that, um, I love him
And I'm proud of him and I'm trying to hook up and meet somewhere
Tell him I have work Monday, so that I'll try to be Sunday afternoon
If not, uh, twenty-fifth is the most important date that he need to put down
And tell him to call me back, uh, this his father
Later
[Verse 2]
Seems as if these dreams of riches
Keep specifically convincing me to get it
Wings to lift the leaps I've leapt
Have reached the width from east to left with ease
No effort needed, yet the easy steps don't please me
Death between the wealth and me have kept me speedy
Blinkin' left my thinkin'
Thinkin' death will meet me when I least expect the meeting
One million, ten million, hundred million, just a billion
Don't be greedy
Just to build a home for needy ones
Since no one built a home for me and
My dad, my dad, my dad
Did a whole lot of shit that was bad
Just to rent a home to sleep in, uh
[Outro]
