[00:00.00]Pick Up The Phone (接起電話) - Lupe Fiasco
[00:09.32]Uhh I just need a minute to replenish who I am
[00:13.16]And who I am is so dependent on exactly where we stand
[00:16.00]I stand in any pose anything but tippy toes
[00:18.69]But don't want you to feel smaller always taller
[00:21.18]Now I'm a cheerleader she a baller
[00:23.08]The difference in height isn't alright I left my ego at the alter
[00:26.31]Now every ring's a sting and everything I taught ya
[00:29.07]Is coming back around to me just like revolvers
[00:31.75]And every single click is just hammering it home
[00:34.13]Who knew Russian roulette involved answering the phone
[00:36.98]Until my signal dwindles or my channel is in roam
[00:39.64]Or my cellphone dies or it's cancer in my dome
[00:42.14]And dear nix the tone as I pull my f**king pain out
[00:44.95]One of your short nodes might blow my f**kin' brains out
[00:47.60]
[00:49.08]But you ain't even pick up
[00:50.27]Talking to myself exactly what you sick of
[00:52.81]Feeling kinda restless
[00:54.62]
[00:55.70]Did you get my message
[00:57.95]It's swirling around and so
[01:01.72]
[01:03.45]No don't tell me that you care
[01:06.90]When I know you're standing there
[01:09.65]I left the story of my life on your answering machine
[01:14.41]
[01:15.14]Hello can you hear me
[01:17.55]Hello are you there
[01:19.72]

[01:28.12]Hello are you there
[01:30.20]
[01:32.29]Hello would you pick up the f**kin' phone
[01:34.97]We were like if a tree falls in the forest and
[01:37.55]No one is around does it really make a sound
[01:40.14]That's romantic and profound but now
[01:42.01]We're like lumberjacks holding the axes that brung it down
[01:45.37]So I'm now on your message talm 'bout remember
[01:48.02]Silence in return that sound like 'timber
[01:50.70]There's some that can't see the forest because they're liars
[01:53.38]But I can't see the forest cause of the fire
[01:55.99]And in our prehistorics the flowers was rooting for us
[01:58.64]Brontosaurus ate the flowers t rex ate the brontosaurus
[02:01.16]And then the t rex turned around and ate the florist
[02:04.00]That's why I lost my ftd endorsements
[02:06.87]
[02:08.08]But that's really not important
[02:09.38]My sadness' a snitch my melancholy informant
[02:11.75]Despair wears a wire my longing rapping a song
[02:14.53]My worry is a rat my lonely tapping the phone
[02:17.18]Feeling kinda restless
[02:19.06]
[02:20.09]Did you get my message
[02:22.31]It's swirling around and so
[02:26.39]
[02:27.91]I wanna give you reasons
[02:29.68]
[02:30.52]Tell you what I'm feeling
[02:32.13]
[02:32.79]But none of these lines are secure
[02:36.69]
[02:38.48]No don't tell me that you care
[02:41.72]When I know you're standing there
[02:44.57]I left the story of my life on your answering machine
[02:49.80]My tears run off your shoes
[02:52.39]Like waters from a goose
[02:55.03]You try to wash off all the dirt
[02:57.62]But your hands aren't getting clean
[03:00.05]

[03:20.41]The make believers on receivers as you sit back and observe
[03:22.74]As the rubber curly cord just absorbs all my words
[03:25.55]Will you collect us then connect us or neglect us on the whole
[03:28.32]Into the wall then cross the wires on the telephone poles
[03:30.85]Then bounces off the towers then up into the satellites
[03:33.40]Then falls down back to earth to bring a broken heart back to life
[03:36.59]Happens all the time lost an appetite and lack of sleep
[03:39.04]If it's dead and flatten line I'll leave a message at the beep
