Pick Up The Phone - Ghetts, President T

Sounds of the… Sounds of the…

(Pick up the phone)

Man owe me money, I’ve been ringing this yute for the last month

I don’t care if it’s half one in the morning

My man really needs to (Pick up the phone)

«Hey fam when you get this message, holla at me cause' you’re in the violation

zone still»

(Pick up the phone)

Told my gyal that it’s nothing

Phone ringing, but I don’t wanna answer a number I don’t know

Now she thinks manna cheating, all because I won’t (Pick up the phone)

«Babes, who is that?

Why is someone calling you at this time at night?»

Different day, same mobile, I was gonna ring this girl

But something in my brain said «don't dial»

Instead, I rung Spyro

«Yo family where you deh?

I’m on the high road, I beg a man send somethin' new»

«I ain’t made in a tune in a minute, y’know g»

«That's cool, send somethin' from the old file»

When it comes to flows, I know styles

When it comes to dough, I know piles

When it comes to road, I know miles

When it comes to hoes, I’ve profiled

If I like her she gets the lyca (caution)

Cause' dem gyal dere will line man up like Delilah

Every time I answer my phone, it’s money on the other end these days

I got the Midas touch, it’s a minor

I just spoke to my stylist Keira

«Yo G, there’s bare packages here, let me know where you want me to send them»

«Line man up in designer»

(Pick up the phone)

Every time I phone my mum, I think

«What's the point of havin' a mobile if me and my siblings can’t get through to

you?

Lord have mercy!»

(Pick up the phone)

Mi nuh know how fi activate dem phone yah

Cause mi nuh know how fi work da sumn yah and it nuh come wit no instruction

(Pick up the phone)

You know seh that boy take me for a fool tho?

Jah know

(Pick up the phone)

Somebody can’t help me with da phone yah?

Cause me never see dem sumn yah from mi born!

Years I’ve had the same number

Man I got exes runnin' back like say the food weighed under

Good tings, university book tings, hood tings

Hide the work in the bush tings

Community links like DJ Thunder

Just came from mum’s, caught one or two joke when I heard her (Pick up the

phone)

Mum was just speaking Patois

Then the phone rang and I heard her (Switch up the tone)

Yeah, mum speaks three languages

Jamaican, Cockney and real well spoken

And there’s other mums just like my mum

It all depends who phones them

Why you calling late?

Tryin' cause problems, please don’t think

Before you call, please don’t drink

But it don’t mean I will even (Pick up the phone)

Nah, nah, not worth the time

If you a mountain, not worth the climb

Ring 'till the morning, are you challenging mine?

I won’t (pick up the phone)

'Low it, 'low it, it’s kinda bait

How many missed calls?

It’s over eight

Looked in my inbox, it’s overweight

Maybe I should just (Pick up the phone)

They don’t wanna answer, they don’t wanna answer

Wait 'till I catch man

Shout out to my cats, never gonna scratch man

Top two selected, match man

Who was on the phone?

They never knew I was on the throne

Said that he’s gaining, must be a stone

Can’t get an answer, can’t get an answer

«Are you taking whites?»

Can’t be a human (Why, why?)

Are you takin' rights?

I left my bally at home, but I had tights

Come to my gates, all you’re gonna see is spite

Pick up the phone, I’ma get civil

Two options, talk to me proper or shrivel

Kill off killy

Why you calling late?

Tryin' cause problems, please don’t think

Before you call, please don’t drink

But it don’t mean I will even (Pick up the phone)

Nah, nah, not worth the time

If you a mountain, not worth the climb

Ring 'till the morning, are you challenging mine?

I won’t (pick up the phone)

'Llow it, 'llow it, it’s kinda bait

How many missed calls?

It’s over eight

Looked in my inbox, it’s overweight

Maybe I should just (Pick up the phone)

Must be the mandem, need to record

Look for a text, but it ain’t stored

Phone’s on silent, could’ve been ignored…
