Pick Up the Phone Songtext
von Ghetts

Man owe me money, I′ve been ringing this yute for the last month
I don't care that 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, "Like, 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 what you doin′ 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 dem are linin' 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 em' up and design 'em
(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)


(Ghetts′ Mom speaking Jamaican Patois)
Mi nuh know how fi activate dem phone yah
Dem new school sumn yah; mi nuh inna it
Cause mi nuh know how fi work da sumn
Yah and it nuh come wit no instruction
(Pick up the phone)
Jah kno star
How you fi buy somebody something and nuh give them the manual?
You know seh that boy take me for a fool tho?
Jah kno
(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
Four 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' to cause problems, please don′t think
Before you call, please don′t drink
But I 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 2 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'mma get civil
Two options, talk to me proper or shrivel
Kill Off Killy!!

(Pick up the phone)
Why you calling late?

But I don′t mean I will even (pick up the phone)
Nah, nah, not worth the time
If you're a mountain, not worth the climb
Ring to 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)

Must be the mandem, need to record
Look for a text, but it ain′t stored
Phone's on silent, could′ve been ignored...
(Pick up the phone)
