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' cacciatore with a twist of lime
Gotta meet your lover at a quarter to nine
Joint by base, then you get your high
If you get your high, then mine is next
The 'S' in skypager 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 voodoo hex
Conceptually, a pager is so complex
That I'll be standin' on the verge, ready to flex
(Welcome, we-, we-, welcome to the new skypager)
(We-, welcome to the new skypager)
(Welcome to the new skypager, the new skypager)

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 goin' through no phases, my joint stays on
24/7, from dusk till 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
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
Brothers 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
