Intro
Ohhhhh... Astar and Brian King
Rhyme X Music
In the studio... yo yo
Hip Hope Family baby
Answer my call
Verse 1
Alone in the room
TV on
Magazine under the mattress
Actress
Undress
Right hand looking for access
Love scene begins
Eyes fixed on screen
Trying to switch it off but the flesh is weak
1,2,3,4,5 times a week
Yeah I know it's wrong but the devil's too strong
Succumb to the pressure
Addicted to the pleasure
Help can't seem to find the strength in me
I do what I don't wanna do at all
Help on the highway to sin again
Lord I'm headed for the cliff but the brakes don't work
I don't wanna, maybe, one last time
Then I'm back on my knees I confess my sins Lord
So seductive about to make a blunder
Devil on my back I feel like going under
Pre-Chorus
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna go down that road
Don't wanna do that no more
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna go where i've been
Don't wanna fall into sin
Chorus
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
The things that I don't wanna do
I end up doing
Things that I really wanna do
I don't do at all
Verse 2
Alone in the room just the 2 of us
Hands touch, contact, the mood for lust
The body getting hot
The panties start to drop
K-I-S-S about to have sex
The Spirit not willing but the flesh won't stop
Don't wanna, maybe, ended up on top
Yeah I know it's wrong but the devils too strong
Succumb to the pressure
Addicted to the pleasure
Help can't seem to find the strength in me
I do what I don't wanna do at all
Help on the highway to sin again
Lord I'm headed for the cliff but the breaks don't work
I don't wanna, maybe, one last time
Then I'm back on my knees I confess my sins Lord
So seductive about to make a blunder
Devil on my back I feel like going under
Pre-Chorus
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna go down that road
Don't wanna do that no more
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna go where i've been
Don't wanna fall into sin
Chorus
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
Bridge
Down on my knees Lord
I'm crying out
Down on my knees Lord
Don't let me fall
Down on my knees
So help me out
Down on my knees Lord
Ehhh... Ehhh...
Pre-Chorus
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall (Answer my...)
I don't wanna go down that road
Don't wanna do that no more (Answer my...)
I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna fall (Answer my...)
I don't wanna go where i've been
Don't wanna fall into sin
Chorus
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
Answer my call
(Dear Lord will answer my call I'm on my knees begging Lord please)
The Story Behind The Song
Sexual temptation is without a doubt the biggest struggle we face as young dudes and dudettes. This song was birthed from that very experience. 2008, alone in hotel room in a foreign country, during the KORA Awards Live Recording in Benin. Pretty women throwing themselves on us "stars" and letting us know that they are willing to go all the way... for free!! To flee from this I retreated to my room to watch telly. Shock!! Full live porn on telly... I was like what the hell?? What's with all this sex being thrown in my face?? I switched off the telly, put on my ipod and started writing a song... told God that yaani if He got me through this one I would tell the whole world about the way He "Answered My Call" when I really needed Him to.
Then and there God gave me the pre-chorus, and the chorus. He also gave me verse One. On the plane back He gave me the lyrics to verse 2... I landed back into Nai and knew that Brian King needed to sing this hook. He had just sang a song called "End Up In Hell", which I was really feeling. Decided to step out of my comfort zone and called Ben "Gitxx" Gitau on this... Also for the video decided to step out of my comfort zone of always using Prince and gave Washamba Unlimited the chance to create this... and voila! There you have it... Answer My Call :-)
The pressure, the pleasure, the perfect setting to fall… BUT GOD!!!
