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
-A Tribe Called Quest
