[A Tribe Called Quest - Skypager lyrics]
Do you know the importance of a skypager?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
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 sipping wine
Eating cacciatore 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 high, then mines is next
The 'S' in skypage really stands for sex
Beeper's going 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
Having bad days like a voodoo hex
Conceptually, a pager is so complex
That I be standing by the phone
Ready to flex
Welcome, wel-wel-welcome to the new skypager
Wel-welcome to the new skypager
Welcome to the new skypager, new skypager
Enter telephone number or
Other numeric message
Uh, so funky uh, so funky
Uh, so funky uh, so funky
The batteries I use are called Duracell
They last for three weeks so they do me well
Don't be going through no phases
My joint stays on 24-7, from dusk til dawn
If you're in Costa Rica on a sunlit beach
Your 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 scowl
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
