Tyler, The Creator - Answer Lyrics






[Hook 1: Tyler]
Because when I call
I hope you pick up your phone
I'd like to talk to you
I hope you answer [x4]
Because when I call
I hope you pick up your phone
I'd like to talk to you
I hope you answer

[Verse 1: Tyler]
Hey Dad, it's me, um...
Oh, I'm Tyler, I think I be your son
Sorry, I called you the wrong name, see, my brain's splitting
Dad isn't your name, see Faggot's a little more fitting
Mom was only twenty when you ain't have any fucks to spare
You Nigerian fuck, now I'm stuck with this shitty facial hair
Also stuck with a beautiful home with a case stairs
So you not being near fucking fire-started my damn career
But fuck it, I got Clancy, he, gave me the chance to see
A world I wasn't supposed to, I'm stoked that I didn't know you
But, sucks you ain't give a fuck and consider a sperm donor now
The fuck is an Okonma? I'm changing my shit to Haley
And I ain't just being passive, nigga.
You're a fucking faggot, nigga.
Got a show on Monday, guess who ain't getting no passes, nigga?
But if I ever had the chance to ask this nigga
And call him...

[Hook: Tyler (Syd)]
I hope you answer [x4]
Because when I call (When I call, baby)
I hope you pick up your phone (Please pick up)
I'd like to talk to you
I hope you answer

[Verse 2: Tyler]
Suck my fucking dick and swallow this case of nuts
Ace hates your guts, I'm a selfish fuck,
And I ain't sharing green as if I'm facing blunts
Frank is out the closet, Hodgy's an alcoholic
Syd might be bipolar, but fuck it, I couldn't call it
Supposed to be gone until November but quickly came back in August
I left two months through September to clearly remember all this
I'd like to tell my grandma, but she's just nostalgia
I'll call her number
But she won't answer

[Hook: Tyler (Syd)]
I hope you answer [x4]
Because when I call (When I call, baby)
I hope you pick up your phone
(I'd like to talk to you)
I hope you answer

[Verse 3: Tyler]
You claim to hate my fucking guts
But say I'm on an island in Thailand and I was wildin'
And, if I got stranded had to man up and hold my nuts
And hope that I could live off salt water and fucking coconuts
Phone ain't got no service this 3G is fucking worthless
Day is getting dark like the area's turning urban
You'll be fucking nervous like me inside of a churches
But, I'mma get in contact regardless, and
I hope you answer.

[Outro: Tyler]
That last verse was about this girl. Haha.

    Boys without fathers can always relate in a weird way.

  52. B.... R....

    Man makes me think of my dad😤😤😤😒😒😒

  53. d.... f....

    i love this song,, i listen to it every once in a while,, when i was 4-5 my mom/dad were divorced but i lived with my dad in a literal mansion and we were just really wealthy so i was oblivious of it all but still everything seemed perfect in my life at the moment... my dad met my moms new boyfriend (i'll refer to him as fuckhead) and my dad was obese while fuckhead was in shape. so my dad wanted to impress my mom and he went to mexico to get a surgery to make his stomach smaller,, i guess it went as planned but soon after the surgery he died from a blood clot in his lungs. for the past 8 years i've had to live with my mom/fuckhead which has caused a lot a problems and he never gets along with me or the rest of my family and overall i hate him and blame him for my dads passing

  54. I.... C....

    I relate to much to this song my dad left me for 14 years and now my moms in jail I’m
    In foster care and now I’m with him do I think he wanted me back or he just did it to prove something to me and my mom

  55. J.... B....

    my dad left me when i was 7 , showed this to him and he wanted to change , 10 years later , gotta love my mom playing his role

  56. h.... n....

    I hate this song, brings me back to some bad times

  57. b.... s....

    This song gets on my felling

  58. B.... G....

    I like how everyone can figure out wen tylers talking about b3ing gay but ignores all the lyrics about his dad not being in his life at all

  59. L.... R....
