A Tribe Called Quest - Skypager lyrics

Do you know the importance of a skypager?

Those who don't believe, see you're laid behind

Got our skypagers on all the time

Hurry up and get yours 'cause I got mine

Especially if you do shows, they come in fine

If you're with a G and you're sippin wine

Eatin caccatore with a twist of lime

Gotta meet your lover at a quarter to 9

Joint by base, then you get your high

If you get your then high, mine is next

The 'S' in skypage really stands for sex

Beeper's goin off like Don Trump gets checks

Keep my bases loaded like the New York Mets

At times I miss the pager so you don't get vex

Havin bad days like a voodu hex

Conceptually, a pager is so complex

'Cause I be standin by the phone ready to flex

(Welcome to the new skypager)

(phone dialing)

(Enter telephone number or other numeric message)

Uh, so funky (4x)

The batteries I use are called Du-ra-cell

They last for three weeks so they do me well

Don't be goin through no phases my joint stays on

24-7, from dusk til dawn

If you're in Costa Rica on a sunlit beach

You greed for the Phifer, I can be reached

A number of importance, I just put it on lock

You leave code '69", that means you want some (cock)

People tend to think that a pager's foul

Well it kinda is, 'cause it makes me scoul

But it really hurts when you're on the prowl

Brothas know it hurts when you're on the prowl

Grabbin on my joint 'cause I'm an eager owl

Get paged by a G or a business pal

My shit is overflowin, they won't allow

Another page, so I'll just end this now

(Message sent. Thank you for calling skypager)
