The Calling
Rebirth of '97: Nostalgia, Redemption, and the Journey of Mac Turner
Lyrics
Hashtag MT612 yea
Reference to the artist's hashtag MT612
It's my fault just for thinking you a call away
Admitting responsibility for expecting a call
Yea aye aye yea
Expressive affirmation
Yea
Repetition for emphasis
It feels like 97 again
Nostalgia for the year 1997
Way back to them days where it all began
Reflecting on the beginning of a journey
When
Transition to a specific time in the past
I ain't even even know my name I ain't try to make a way I ain't even have a plan
Recalling a time of uncertainty and lack of direction
Just so clueless
Describing a sense of ignorance or lack of awareness
Tryna stand didn't know if I could do it
Struggling to stand and unsure of capabilities
To the age 'fore I ever found music
Period before discovering music
Lean back inna whip just cruising
Relaxing in a car, possibly reminiscing
And gazing out my window
Contemplating while looking out of a window
Banging instrumentals
Listening to instrumental music
Woah
Expression of surprise or realization
Before the pain ever clouded my head
Reflecting on a time before personal challenges
Just blazing up my indo
Smoking marijuana without worries
Draining out my mental
Feeling mentally drained
I wish I could go back
Expressing a desire to return to the past
It feels like it's 1997 again
Reiteration of the nostalgic feeling for 1997
Ending of April where it all began (let's take it back)
Specifically mentioning April as a significant time
It feels like it's 1997 again
Continued emphasis on the year 1997
Like I'm reborn again
Feeling like a new person
Like I'm reborn again
Reinforcing a sense of rebirth
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Reference to emotional scars
Sarcastic mister know it all
Describing someone as sarcastic and knowledgeable
I thought you was my dawg
Expressing disappointment in a friend
It's my fault just for thinking you a call away
Reiteration of taking responsibility for expectations
I said I'm giving it my all this year
Commitment to giving maximum effort in the present year
I'm just tryna be an artist yea
Aspiring to be an artist
They be saying I'm the hardest damn
Reputation for being exceptionally talented
I was thinking bout giving up all this shit
Contemplating giving up on artistic pursuits
I'm just being honest
Emphasizing honesty about personal struggles
I wish I can go back to the start and give it all I can
Expressing a wish to go back and give more effort
While keeping all the knowledge
Desire to retain knowledge gained over time
That is not an option but I promise I been on my shit
Commitment to hard work despite challenges
Believe
Encouraging belief in oneself
Bet on me
Urging others to bet on the artist's success
G-O-D thank you for saving me
Expressing gratitude to God for salvation
It feels like it's 1997 again
Recurrence of the nostalgic feeling for 1997
Ending of April where it all began (let's take it back)
Reiteration of the significance of April
It feels like it's 1997 again
Continued emphasis on the year 1997
Like I'm reborn again
Reinforcing a sense of being reborn
Like I'm reborn again
Further affirmation of a new beginning
That I wish you saw
Repetition of reference to unseen scars
Sarcastic mister know it
Repetition of describing someone as sarcastic and knowledgeable
I thought you was my dawg
Reiteration of disappointment in a friend
It's my fault just for thinking you a call away
Final admission of responsibility for expecting a call
Is you a call away
Questioning the availability of emotional support
