ROLL CALL lyrics
by Oblé Reed
[Part I]
[Intro: Oblé Reed]
Yeah
Let me spell it out for y'all
[Verse 1: Oblé Reed]
L-I-N-E-L-E-A-D-E-R-S
Who gon' keep these kids in check?
Who gon' keep the bar so high the men can't reach
Like, please don't touch
Who make out a zillion pieces?
Who gon' break out at [???] center?
Act out of pocket, but we in the pockets so deep that you thought that you lost it (Lost it)
How long 'til they final souvenir fall in line?
That's instincts from the pen, tattoo freezing time
Got a couple of y'all that's cool, still ain't touching fire
Cause these words feel how I mean, n*ggas been touching mines
And that's gold star behavior
Y'alls early dismissal
Got a guideline and a blueprint for your art to stencil
Nowhere to pencil it in, we need it all official
That's Line Leaders, brother
[Part II]
[Bridge: Oblé Reed and Travis Thompson]
Haha! Yeah!
I told y'all not to play with us, man
Yeah, don't do that!
Let's see who in the building tonight, y'all (Let's see it)
Yeah, uh
[Chorus: Oblé Reed, Travis Thompson]
Hey
I said, like roll call! (Who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear it?)
Roll call! (Who up in the bi-, who running the biz, who running the–)
Roll call! (Okay, alright, yeah, cool, alright, okay, it's-)
Yeah, yeah, haha, yeah
Roll call!
Okay, yeah
[Verse 2: Travis Thompson]
Roll call, I'm front and center
Babyface, he a ugly menace
Famous parties get unattended
And I'm like McGuire to the uninventive
Had to lie to boy if he ain't f*cking with it
Huh, it's cutthroat business
No shortcuts, I come up different
Most die out or come up missing
I'm popping this sh*t cause I have to
Been working so hard, I don't see sun
I'm leading my cult, they got tattoos
Like "Trav, say the word, what you need done?"
I go with the flow, how the cash move
My lady say I got a green crutch
I hate everybody, the sad truth
Got a mean mug, and a bean drunk (I feel like-)
[???] to the block, [???] in socks
Know myself, and they seem to be lies
Creme of the crop, get ease in me mind 'til I'm well dressed and gon' scream when he drown
I'm moving through disorders, checked at every border, huh (For real!)
Stringer full of salmon
Hanging gammon in my foreign
I don't panic, unimportant, how I manage? I don't know (I don't know)
b*tch, I'm damaged but my bandwidth took my band around the globe (Huh?)
I got standards, and they grow
I'm outlandish, but they love it
From Atlanta out to Dublin where my family get sh*t jumpin'
b*tch, it's–
[Chorus: Oblé Reed]
Hey
I said, like roll-call! (Who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear it?)
Roll call! (Who up in the bi-, who running the biz, who running the biz?)
Roll call! (Okay, alright, yeah, cool, alright, okay, it's-)
Roll call!
[Verse 3: Oblé Reed]
Yeah
They told me watch for the bear, but I bet I can poke it
Upper left, got a X when I close it
None left on the run like I stole it
Cases loaded
Eyes bigger when the plane is falling
Seen the warning signs in the neighborhood, bet the neighbors noticed
And [???] cause my mama crib made the place historic
Got my big body turned big fighter
Let my sunshine like it's big baller
When it's my time, know the [?]
That's for ball boys, I'm a Starboy
In my own cloud, still puffing on features
DND, it be harder to reach me
DND, I be dragging y'all feet like a DVD or a PVB
Gotta pay to see me
Okay, we came, we saw, we took it all
It's personal, a couple of y'all on my nerves for what?
Not sorry I mistook your words for lunch
I really thought you tried to serve me some
The back and forth really don't serve me none
How many times you say that this the one?
How many times we gotta pick it up?
Line leaders and the timekeepers
Mind games like it's minesweeper
You a blank page, I'm a mind reader
I'mma dive deeper, hm
Say you ain't cut out for this (Oh no!)
What you gon' do after this? (Oh no!)
If your name didn't make the list, then ba-ba-ba-back
Cause it's time for–
[Chorus: Oblé Reed]
Roll call! (Who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear, who hear it?)
Roll call! (Who up in the bi-, who running the biz, who running the–?)
Roll call! (Okay, alright, yeah, cool, alright, okay, it's-)
Roll call!
