Collect Call Lyrics
[Intro: T.I.]
Ay
I know it been a minute since I had a lil' one-on-one witchu
Heh, or should I say one-on-one-million?
But I just gotta say man
Through the lil' period in my life, man
I really see how fucked up some of you suckas is, man
Remember, I don't really need shit!
It's the thought that counts
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
[Interlude: T.I.]
I think I'mma forget this shit homie
Huh? Hah
Don't holla at me in the club, nigga fuck you!
Real talk, nigga..Tell the truth, shawty..
Be f'real
Ay
I know it been a minute since I had a lil' one-on-one witchu
Heh, or should I say one-on-one-million?
But I just gotta say man
Through the lil' period in my life, man
I really see how fucked up some of you suckas is, man
Remember, I don't really need shit!
It's the thought that counts
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
[Interlude: T.I.]
I think I'mma forget this shit homie
Huh? Hah
Don't holla at me in the club, nigga fuck you!
Real talk, nigga..Tell the truth, shawty..
Be f'real
[Verse 1: T.I.]
I was told way back in the day when I was trappin'
Nevermind what niggas say, judge 'em all on they actions
It's hard to imagine when you travelin'
Havin fun' gettin' paper but catch a case and see how niggas act then
Out the cell, partna been five, he rattin' on me
Got a little Benja' pension, now they turn they back on me (Did who?)
Shit, 'cause out of sight is out of mind
Better put your trust in God, homie, man'll let you down err'ytime
(Real talk) And I'm speakin' from experience, serious
Imagine my suprise hearin' from the inside
E'rybody talkin' 'bout me like the nigga just died
"Tip gone twenty years at the least, bet five" ("Nigga f'real, nigga you can't get away wit dat shit!")
Man niggas just lie for suspicion of extension ("Dat nigga kept it")
Not to mention the rumors of me committin' suicide ("He killed hisself?")
God will open your eyes and show you who really witcha
But keep it in the back of your mind when it's over how niggas did ya
(I won't forget)
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
I was told way back in the day when I was trappin'
Nevermind what niggas say, judge 'em all on they actions
It's hard to imagine when you travelin'
Havin fun' gettin' paper but catch a case and see how niggas act then
Out the cell, partna been five, he rattin' on me
Got a little Benja' pension, now they turn they back on me (Did who?)
Shit, 'cause out of sight is out of mind
Better put your trust in God, homie, man'll let you down err'ytime
(Real talk) And I'm speakin' from experience, serious
Imagine my suprise hearin' from the inside
E'rybody talkin' 'bout me like the nigga just died
"Tip gone twenty years at the least, bet five" ("Nigga f'real, nigga you can't get away wit dat shit!")
Man niggas just lie for suspicion of extension ("Dat nigga kept it")
Not to mention the rumors of me committin' suicide ("He killed hisself?")
God will open your eyes and show you who really witcha
But keep it in the back of your mind when it's over how niggas did ya
(I won't forget)
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
[Verse 2: T.I.]
I ain't never asked a nigga to do shit for me
I wouldn't do in return, but guess you live and you learn
Don't expect my well bein' to be a nigga concern
'Cause I know that ain't the way the world turn
'Cause e'rybody love to see a nigga assed out
Rather see ya lose it all than to see you cash out
They gossip like bitches, I don't e'en ask how
'Cause niggas ain't shit, I believe that now
And it don't even matter how much you do for people
They'll love to see ya beat down livin' in the gutta - what a
Shame at the least in the game when you see
They want you locked up more than the police
The sucka can't wait to get a nigga off the street
They hate to see me sittin' on butter soft seats ("Look at dat nigga!")
Dog peep, bet to you it don't e'en make sense
But that mentality exactly why you'll never be rich - hater!
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
I ain't never asked a nigga to do shit for me
I wouldn't do in return, but guess you live and you learn
Don't expect my well bein' to be a nigga concern
'Cause I know that ain't the way the world turn
'Cause e'rybody love to see a nigga assed out
Rather see ya lose it all than to see you cash out
They gossip like bitches, I don't e'en ask how
'Cause niggas ain't shit, I believe that now
And it don't even matter how much you do for people
They'll love to see ya beat down livin' in the gutta - what a
Shame at the least in the game when you see

[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
[Verse 3: T.I.]
I remain a stand up guy no matter what I
Stood tall, chest out, head up high
With my back against the wall, layin' it all on the line
With God on my side I perform e'rytime
(Must I remind you?) Similar to a miracle, just short of amazin'
Survived shit that would've drove most niggas crazy
Rose to the occasion, whatever situation
Suprised haters and came out guns a-blazin'
Theoretically speakin', but you rather be thinkin'
I'll fold 'cause you would if you were me, I know
All I got is the family, friends come and go
And with that understandin', I put none befo'
My folk, y'know enough to do the same I hope
If not, shit, ya ass'll find out
When you on top e'rybody wanna ball wit' ya
But when ya not you wouldn't even know who to call, would ya?
[Chorus: Mitchellel]
On top of the world when I'm standin' tall
But if I ever ever had to take a fall
Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
I remain a stand up guy no matter what I
Stood tall, chest out, head up high
With my back against the wall, layin' it all on the line
With God on my side I perform e'rytime

Will you accept my collect call?
Will you accept my collect call?
'Cause everybody loves you when you ballin'
But don't nobody want you when you fallin' (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call? (I gotta know)
Will you accept my collect call?
