hey how ya doin'

sorry ya can't get through

and i'll get back to you

hey how are ya doin'

sorry ya can't get through

once again it's another rap bandit

fiending at i and i can't stand it

wanna be down with the day-glow

knocking on my door

saying

hey yo yo

knocking on my door

saying

hey yo yo

i got a funky new tune with a fly banjo

i can't understand what the problem is

i find it hard enough dealing with my own biz

how'd they get my name and my number

then i stop to think and wonder

'bout a plan

yo man

i gotta step out town

you wanna call me up? take my number down

it's 222-2222

i got an answering machine that can talk to you

it goes

hey how ya doin'

sorry ya can't get through

why leave your name and your number

and i'll get back to you

yo

check it

exit the old style

enters the new

but nothing's new 'bout being hawked by a crew

or should i say flock cause around every block

there's guss

russ and frank

with a demo in his palm

now i'm with helping those who want to help themselves

i be like

yo black

just play me the tape

but at the show the time to spare i just make

but the songs created in they shacks

are so wick-wick-wack

situations like this

and now i hate they give me smiles kool-aid wide and ask

was it def?

and with the straighest face i be like

hell yes

i slip them the digits to papa prince paul

so i don't go awol but yet i know when they call

they get

hey how ya doing

sorry ya can't get through

why don't you leave your name

and your number

and i'll get back to you

hey how are ya doin'

sorry you can't get through

why don't you leave your name and your number

and i'll get back to you
