Lyrics

Intro

Don't call me down, don't call me down

Verse 1

They want me quiet, they want me small

They want me back where I started, that's all

But I've seen the top of the city at night

And the top of the city don't turn off the light

Log drum under me like a floor that moves

Synths like a wall that I walk right through

I'm not proud, I'm just awake

Every hook I sing is a wall I break

Pre-Chorus

Higher, higher, that's the sound

Don't you dare call me down

Chorus

Don't call me down, don't call me down

I'm too high in the dark to be found

Don't call me down, don't call me down

Lagos to London, I'm the only sound

Don't! (Call!) Me! (Down!)

Emeka Noir, and I'm never coming down

Verse 2

Leather in the rain and I never get wet

Fame is a fire and I haven't burnt yet

Faith in my chest like a second heart

Every stadium is a place I can start

Shaker and the rim like a crowd stomping floor

Every closed door is an open door

She said "come home," I said "home is the stage"

Don't call me down, I'm not in a cage

Pre-Chorus

Higher, higher, that's the sound

Don't you dare call me down

Chorus

Don't call me down, don't call me down

I'm too high in the dark to be found

Don't call me down, don't call me down

Lagos to London, I'm the only sound

Don't! (Call!) Me! (Down!)

Emeka Noir, and I'm never coming down

Bridge

If I fall... I'll fall up

If I fall... I'll fall up

Final Chorus

Don't call me down, don't call me down

I'm too high in the dark to be found

Don't call me down, don't call me down

Lagos to London, I'm the only sound

Don't! (Call!) Me! (Down!)

Emeka Noir, and I'm never coming down

EMEKA NOIR is a virtual artist of the SUPERMASSIVE Verse: a high tenor that slides into falsetto, breathy on the verses and full-voice on stadium hooks, over driving log-drum bass, gated 80s synths and Afrobeats shaker patterns. Lagos to London, neon, rain, obsession, fame, faith. AI-performed and disclosed.
