Yeah, Pick up

I've been trying to reach you

Pick up, pick up, pick up

They been calling my name but I changed my number

With every ring that went out it made me wonder

Used to chase what they had, I was under the pressure

Now I move with a peace that they can't even measure

Mama said stay grounded, I took that literally

Roots in something real so the winds don't get to me

They see the confidence, they don't know the history

What looks like arrival was just the beginning of me

Every time they count me out

I just pick up, pick up

Something greater calling out

so I pick up, pick up

I stay connected, yeah, can't disconnect me

Higher than the noise, they can't ever get to me

I stay connected, wired from the jump

They wonder why I'm steady, why I never slump

Pick up, pick up — I always pick up

Something in me built to answer when it's rough

I stay connected, can't nobody cut the line

Call it what you want, I call it by design

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been in the room, single voice in the crowd

Everybody yelling something, everybody being loud

But I seen all the costs and I passed on the offer

What they calling loss, I am calling it smarter

Old message, new phone, same source though

Ringtone familiar but the signal goes further now

I don't need your approval, I got purpose

And everything on the surface, yeah it serves its purpose

They said the signal's weak

They said the line's too long

Said it ain't worth it

Said to just move on

But every time I'm quiet

Something cuts right through

Clearer than anything

I ever thought I knew

I stay connected, yeah, can't disconnect me

Higher than the noise, they can't ever get to me

I stay connected, wired from the jump

They wonder why I'm steady, why I never slump

Pick up, pick up — I always pick up

Something in me built to answer when it's rough

I stay connected, can't nobody cut the line

Call it what you want, I call it by design

I stay connected

I stay connected

Pick up, pick up, pick up
