Kali "Area Codes" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

Kali is back at GENIUS to discuss her latest hit, “Area Codes." After going viral on TikTok and Instagram, the Tate Kobang & YG! Beats-produced song continues to climb the Billboard Hot 100.
"Got a white boy on my roster / He be feedin' me pasta and lobster," she raps in one of the more viral lines from the track. But the truth is, the roster isn't as full at the moment. "The roster is a little empty right now," she tells GENIUS. "But I'm looking for 'em. What's up? I'm taking applications."
On today’s episode of VERIFIED, find out the motivation behind the fun hit single, what her favorite "AREA CODES" are, and why she loves to vacation outside of the country.
