Similar to “Inglorious”, “Answer” is centered around Tyler’s absent father.

Tyler on his Twitter.

Tyler did release a cassette tape with the making of the WOLF DVD that contains the original version of… Read More [Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]

(Can we talk on the phone or something?)

'Cause when I call (When I call you on the phone)

I hope you pick up your phone

I'd like to talk to you (Uh)

I hope you answer

I hope you answer (Pick up the phone so we can talk, lil' bitch)

Yeah, I hope you answer

I hope you answer (Pick up the phone so we can talk, lil' bitch)

Yeah, I hope you answer ('Cause baby)

'Cause when I call

I hope you pick up your phone

I'd like to talk to you (Yeah)

I hope you answer

[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]

Hey, Dad, it's me, uhm...

Oh, I'm Tyler, I think I'd 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 of stairs

So you not being near fuckin' fire-started my damn career

But fuck it, I got Clancy, he gave me the chance to see (Fuck you)

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

Fuck is an Okonma? I'm changing my shit to Haley

And I just ain't being passive, nigga

You a fuckin' faggot, nigga

Got a show on Monday, guess who ain't gettin' no passes, nigga?

But if I ever had the chance to ask this nigga

And call him

I hope he answer

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & (Syd)]

I hope you answer

I hope you answer

I hope you answer

Yeah, I hope you answer

'Cause 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, The Creator]

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 'til November but quickly came back in August

I left two months through September to clearly remember all this

I would like to tell my grandma, but she just nostalgia

I'll call her number

But she won't answer

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & (Syd)]

I hope you answer

I hope you answer

I hope you answer

Yeah, I hope you answer

'Cause 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, The Creator]

You claim to hate my fuckin' guts

But say I'm on a island in Thailand and I was wilding

And if I got stranded, had to man up and hold my nuts

And hope that I could live off saltwater and fuckin' 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 fuckin' nervous like me inside of a church is

But, I'ma get in contact regardless, and

I hope you answer

[Outro: Tyler, The Creator]

The last verse was about this girl, haha
