[Intro: Q-Tip]
Do you know the importance of a skypager?
Uh, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
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 cacciatore with a twist of lime
Gotta meet your lover at a quarter to 9
Joint by base, then you get your high
[Verse 2: Phife Dawg]
If you get your high, then mines is next
The 'S' in skypage really stands for s**
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 voodoo hex
Conceptually, a pager is so complex
That I be standin by the phone ready to flex
[Hook]
Welcome, wel-wel-welcome to the new skypager
Wel-welcome to the new skypager
Welcome to the new skypager, new skypaper
Enter telephone number or other numeric message
[Bridge: Q-Tip]
Uh, so funky
Uh, so funky
Uh, so funky
Uh, so funky
[Verse 3: Phife Dawg]
The batteries I use are called Duracell
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 (co*k)
[Verse 4: Q-Tip]
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 sh** is overflowin, they won't allow
Another page, so I'll just end this now
[Outro]
