<b>COLLECT CALL</b> by <i>T.I.</i><br />

[Chorus]

Try to build the world and im standin tall

But if I ever ever have to take a fall

Will you accept my collect call

Will you accept my collect call

Cuz everybody loves you when you ballin

But dont nobody want you when you bawlin

But I know will you accept my collect call

But I know will you accept my collect call

[T.I.]

I was told way back in the day when I was trappin

Nevermind what niggas say judge em all on they actions

Its hard to imagine when you travelin

Havin fun gettin paper catch a case and see how niggas act then

Out a cell partner been fired he rattin on me

Got a little benja pension now they turn they back on me

Shit cuz out of sight is out of mind

Better put your trust in God homie man will let you down everytime

And Im speaking experience, serious

Imagine my suprise hearin from the inside

Everybody talkin bout me like the nigga just died

Tip gone 20 years at the least get 5

Man niggas just lie for suspicion of they snitchin

Not to mention the rumors of me committin suicide

God will open your eyes and show you who really wit ya

But keep it in the back of your mind when its over how niggas did ya

[Chorus]

[T.I.]

I aint never asked a nigga to do shit for me

I wouldnt do in return but guess you live and your learn

Dont expect my well bein to be a nigga concern

Cuz I know that aint the way the world turn

Cuz everybody love to see a nigga assed out

Rather see ya lose it all than to see ya cash out

They gossip like bitches I dont even ask how

Cuz niggas aint shit I believe that now

And it even matter how much you do for people theyll love to

See you 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 same cant wait to get a nigga off the street

They hate to see me sittin on buckets off c

Dog beat bet to you dont even make sense

But that mentality exactly why youll never be grieved hata

[Chorus]

[T.I.]

I remain a stand up guy no matter what I

Stood tall chest out head up high

Wit my back against the wall layin it all on the line

Wit God on my side I perform everytime

Must I remind you

Similar to a miracle just short of amazin

Survived shit that wouldve drove most niggas crazy

Rose to the occasion whatever situation

Suprised haters and came out gun a blazin

Theoretically speakin but you rather be thinkin

Ill fold cuz u want a view of me I know

All I got is the family friends come and go

And with that understandin I put none before

My folk you know enough to do the same I hope

If not, shit ya ass will find out

When ya on top everybody wanna ball wit ya

But when ya not you wouldnt even know who to call would ya
