- Track 6 on Wolf. Like “Inglorious”, it’s centered around his feelings on his dad not being around.
[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'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 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 considered a sperm donor now
The fuck is an Okonma? I'm changing my shit to Haley
And I just ain't being passive, nigga
You 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...
I hope he answer
[Hook: Tyler and (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 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
[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 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 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 church is
But, I'mma get in contact regardless, and
I hope you answer
[Outro]
That last verse was about this girl. Ha ha
"you Nigerian fuck" LMAO
now I'm stuck with this shitty facial hair
not being there fuckin fire started my damn career
Also stuck with a beautiful home with a case of stairs
Lil Vessels so you not being there fuckin fire started my damn career
But fuck it I got Clancy
Imagine being black father who left his son and after 18 years his son becomes a successful rapper who raps about how he hates his father
xxx Jahsus Big F
i’d feel worthless as fuck💀
F
With the EA sports shit in there to
Imagine what lebron's dad is feeling now
Mad props to Clancy being the father figure
Facts
Whose clancy?
Dicaru 007 his producer
Alex G I thought he was his manager
Dicaru 007 no Clancy’s his manager, Tyler produces his own beats
1st verse: dad leaving
2nd verse: dead grandma
3rd verse: ex girlfriend
💔💔
Apollo Kiba He’s bi
Verse 3 is also about his attitude towards religion
Baked Beans nobody knows
Apollo Kiba nobody knows don’t claim what he is nighah
Its sad when people are shocked when you say your parents aren't divorced, and that almost everyone you meet has some sort of issue with at least one of their parents.
Just Alex Because being in a marriage can suck. It's like you're paying to validate your relationship with someone when you don't have to.
that kinda defeats the purpose of getting married in the first place
thats what love does
Let's just all talk about what got fucked in life :D my dad left before I could even remember and like Tyler, I too am stuck with this shitty facial hair. But by like 4th grade he flew me out to his house and he ended up becoming more of a parent than my mom. Weird chain of events
My parents never even got married. They were engaged, but cancelled their marriage. I was with my mom, then she got abusive so currently I’m with my dad. There, that’s my story,
My baby brother who’s 11 told me this was his favorite song . Broke my heart
He isn't baby if he is 11
@@todzphan it represents younger brother.
Wait what do you mean it breaks his heart
@Michael C Because the baby brother maybe can relate to what Tyler said, which y’know, would imply his pops ain’t really around
Todzphan he is my baby brother no matter how old he is
To all my fatherless people bumping this on father's day, stay strong. I'm here for you. ❤️
Father’s Day ritual
Thanks dad
Not Father’s Day but thanks homie :)

Thx man I will
This is how I spend my father's day

There's always a little Tamale in all of us.
This is lowkey the perfect ringtone:
"I hope you answer"
rai my friend made this his ringtone for when his dad called way back when this song first dropped.
Lololol and then you be like dont tell me what to do and never answer 🤣🤣
rai lol
rai? from Audiotool?
rai रख
Not gonna cap kinda miss this Tyler a little more, don’t get me wrong he grew into something great but this Tyler is so true and relatable to the darkest parts of hearts
It may be part of his growth I guess... we cannot expect him to still be the same guy we relate to or the one through things we appreciated him. Personally, I'm just glad I'm able to witness and feels all that shit, and at the same time, seeing him being the best version of himself is dope as hell because this is what everyone should be
Giovanni Salazar nah new tyler trash , miss this tyler
@@ibrahim2955 its 5am I'm crying one hour bout nothing but fuck man its honestly helps when I see ssomeone in a better place even though it could just be a facade
wawa . no he isnt gtfo
Shrooms man hella sick ass night
I’m scared to end up in a toxic relationship and make my children go through the hell that I had to
You wont man, you writing it. Your taking it into consideration. You'll be alright.
Misslangdon Langdon end it if your kids are old enough to notice they probably have
felt that
Aww :,)
Same. One of the main reasons I'm not having kids
This type of beat make me feel like I am missing something.
Dude same... I don't know what though
a father
+Teh Nautilus.you can keep your ring
right like you did something wronh
LelDank Memes maybe it's your dad
this song is the most underated song by tyler. everything about this song is perfect
Exactly
Wolf is underrated as a whole.
+iamlarryjones jr. Really? I think Wolf is almost every fans favorite album.
HypodermicSalty I mean underrated to the hip-hop community, not just his fanbase. A lot of rap fans complain about how theres a lack of talent in todays artists but most of them dont even listen to Tyler and the only time they did was during the 2011 era when they first blew up. People still think tylers a "weirdo who only talks about killing people" but if they heard Wolf, they'd be surprised.
+HypodermicSalty, Wolf is pretty underrated for Tyler's shxt. My favourite album has to be Goblin
We so lucky to have a father figure in our lives. To those without a father i hope for the best of you guys. Its extremely sad to see ppl not having a father that didnt care to at least visit their children. I hope u all a good life.
Honestly friend I rather wish I didn't know my dad like he is in my life but doesn't want to be apart of my life but he is trying to be in my life by forcing himself into my buisness but I don't give a fuck about him he did things a dad should never do to his family and personally I hate him
Mark Bunoan you read my life story
@@czxsn5358 happy father's day friend may you be a better person than your dad
Legitimately wish I didn’t know my sperm donor of a father. He’s a horrible example of man; a gaslighting, hateful, manipulating, spiteful creature who has no business interacting with decent people, yet alone having children.
I don’t know what a man should be because the only example I had is horrible and know my growth is essentially stunted.
Imtrash: we so lucky we have a father figure in our lives.
Father: I will go get milk.
20 years later...
Father: I'm home.
Everyone in family leaves a posted note that says they moved to a new apartment without him.
i love how he just threw this on the end of Tamale(his least serious song) and made it the saddest sit ever
Oopodoopo Honestly it just makes the music video better
It is the saddest SIT.
@@One-hn7oz qqq
tamale part ended with him beating his meat so answer is theoretically the post nut clarity
Happy Fathers Day to all who are without a dad, I feel ya .... this day sucks to see everyone with their dads
AwesomeFace414 hehehe how about no love or money, ik ur situation (except for gettin money tho) and tht shit just hurts so much, sometimes I feel like cryin about but I dont cause I rlly haven't shown any of my emotions in years, all the emotions tht I show are forced... but anyway take it easy🙂
i LOVE Money
Its better then nothing, i would be more then glad if my parents divorced, they just fight all the time and im sick of it.
I would love it if they gave me all this expensive shit but i goota buy it myself
Well im sorry everyone thinks different
He really was holding back tears. He had to take a hit mid line
lol don't talk to me lol okay sure
lol don't talk to me yeah definitely lol
@paintbucket that's true he said on the larry king interview that he was just trying to be dramatic he doesn't actually care that much about his dad. but idk why you said "sadly" do you want for him to feel bad?
@@ramo5442 bruh he was obviously lying he definitely cares
@@JewishCowboy no where near the same energy but it reminds me of people like Taylor swift saying she doesn't care about haters and she "shakes it off"
How many songs she written about that shit now?
Here after he won the Grammys
Tyler 100% deserves it and as soon as I heard IGOR I knew Tyler was a genius.
@Giovonna Childress same here i love him found him from igor and now I'm fan of his entire discography.
@@tej686 lol too. I cant say what is my fav, cause i love all his stuff.
But have you listen to his song sarah or anything from bastard?
NXRTH thats pretty much a different person rapping though tbh, the dino ep and bastard arent even really close to goblin and wolf
NXRTH yeah i have i’ve listened to all his albums and songs and i understand the bastard wolf and goblin trilogy i cant believe i found out about tyler at the start of this year and already know so much about him
He calls his dad names but you can hear and see the pain he feels...it makes me sad. :(
he doesnt feel pain
@@xdantex1997 he literally does he went through depression during bastard and earlier because of his father
@@xdantex1997 he does

I ain’t really hear that but if you say so lil bro
It's fucked up how many of us feel like this.
ikr, its so crazy mann
Its a joke goddamn
😂😂😂😂omaigosh
Mrs Michael Jackson has he lost his life yet?
I Hyphy yes 😂😭
This is so sad, too many people feel this way. He sang about how much he hates him and his anger but still hopes he answers.
Sandra Toma he ain’t the only one
That’s the thing. You can’t help still loving him. He will always be your true father and it’s a burden. The shame. The self doubt. Even though you hate him for leaving you, you will always want him to come home one day and hug you. I hate feelings
Sandra Toma so he can cus him out and flex on him
John Doe good on you John
He’s not mad he’s said in a lot of his interviews that he’s glad he never knew him
Listening to this on Father’s Day
Every year
Honestly it hurts to know people have to bump this on Father's day ... I'm sorry /:

pray the best for those who never grew up with a dad
thank u :)
For most of my life my dad has been locked away. Hes taking another sentence right now. he only spends a few years with me before doing another stupid thing again and again. it hurts, man.
Tyler music is so bad that he cry’s about not having a dad.
@@mthermon7439 damn bro who hurt you
i think some people are not really understanding how tyler is feeling in this song.
As much as Tyler hates his father, he still wishes he would contact him, because deep down he’s very frustrated by his absence.
As he said on Yonkers, he’s a «fucking walking paradox», as much as he hates his father for abandoning him, he still wishes he could have a normal father-son relationship with him instead of simply not having him around, like he’s had for his whole life.
But that's just what I think lol
his dad must feel so dumb if he knows who tyler is
Dis niqqa is a mad lad know if he know tyler
Same as Obama’s dad lol
@@Donkeydick47 Obama is Tyler Dad probably
Donled trump is prob is dad
p sure tyler has mentioned he’d met his father a few times
this made me cry a little
Shit is sad dawg
same
nigga you gay
you obviously haven't watched a single episode of boondocks dip shit. i was joking i dont know about the others though.
+eva agbemadzo
have you watched the boondocks?
my best friend had moved school and was dealing with depression she had texted me right before she committed my phone was dead. and now i charge my phone up till it’s full, I wished I’ve could’ve call her for the last time just to hear her voice again.
I hope his dad heard this and felt all the pain he put his kid through. Goes to all the deadbeat fathers out there.
*I love you tyler*
I listened to this and cried sending a text message to my dad who hates me and left me alone at age 12, this song means so much to me, it gave me the confidence i needed to send the text to my dad, i don't know if he's going to ever see it but i finnally said things that I've been holding for years.
Thank you Tyler, thanks for comforting me when nobody else did.
FunkyDemonCat how are you?
how r u doin now??
i hope you're okay
Did he answer?
Lol wtf
my dad just called me and this song was playing in my head
u have a father?
wow really dude😅
Must be white
AeroCS ....im black and I got mah dad (and b4 u say I must got dollar bills I don't mah nigga)
Paul Prim it's a joke. "Dad went to get milk 2 years ago and never came back, Black problems" calm down it's a fucking joke.
Who still bumpin this in 2020?
i came to bump to this while everyone tries to cancel him
I just found this song. The music is brilliant and Tyler is mad talented
Mhm fathers day ritual of course
We never left.
@@souIjahwitch frrrr
To everyone missing a father or a mother due to any circumstance, just remember you will one day have the opportunity to become that parent you always wish you had. Make the most of what you got while you still have it because life isn’t as black and white as you might think, the pain only lingers if you keep feeding it. Love yourself y’all ❤️
The woman singing at 2:35 adds a perfect feel to the song. Probably one of my favourites from Tyler
Gabbo301 that's the girl vocalist from the group "internet"
Gabbo301 syd the kyd
its Kali Uchis
Mya A.A Kali Uchis is in one of Tyler's songs, but that was a fellow Odd Future member named Syd The Kyd.
its Kali and Syd...all u fuckz
Fathers days tomorrow how did i know i'd be back here
Stop taking my comments
Did u say that? lmao
Thatgingerguy 47 aye cool name bro
Thatgingerguy 47 yeah

This song is so relatable. Sure, I have a dad but he’s not, yknow?
Imagine his dad seeing this and being like, Damn. I want my son.
It's 2 am in the morning and summer is making its first step. I'm 17 now and things are getting more and more complicated. This beat just makes realise how everything felt better back then...
Huixtocihuatl rip lil pump
Huixtocihuatl it's currently 2 am rn .mad depressed and things are changing so fast this year .And now I'm only 3 months away from being a senior .this comment fuckin shook me
Same here man. I hope things got better for you.
Youre 18 now dude hows it going now?
17 and still cant spell realize.
shot me in the feels
My father was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 13 and he pretty much forgot who I am, and became paranoid of who I was. I dealt with him always accusing me of trying to kill him and trying to plot against him. I will cherish the 13 years we had before he got diagnosed with that mental illness. I wish we could of grew old together dad, and I'm sorry for your mental disorder. This song got me through all the tough nights when I would cry myself to sleep because I just wanted my dad back. 😞
Bro😢
Damn man… I really hope the best for you and your father. You both deserve to be happy and life a good life
,,,,Tyler, the Creator - dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
mood: clancy just poppin in and waving
I need to appreciate my Dad more ):
Gods plan
you need. cause sadly i don't have one
@@ourseak same brooo
idk why people were getting upset over this, you're not trying to brag, you're just saying you need to appreciate the time you have before it's gone because you don't wanna experience the same pain
ZeqOW exactly (:
I want more of this sad vibes from Tyler his lyrics were so raw and honest
the "fuck is an okonma im changing my shit to haley now" is such a small but cool detail
if you know you know
My dad abandoned me multiple times throughout my childhood for drugs, and I was so hurt as a kid trying to understand why he'd disappear for so long.
Because he doesn’t and never loved you. I know this because my dad did the same
And he’s going away for a looong time. I hate my dad
Reallllll
Just had a bad fucking day with my dad and this shit puts me up
El Desperado You're white, so I'm guessing he took away your xbox and now you're threatening to shoot up the school?
Oh god oh dear god oh god no oh please god no no Idek what's going on but saying racist and dumb shit isnt gonna get anywhere
+Oh god oh dear god oh god no oh please god no no I'm not white I'm Hispanic duh😂 whatever man stop hatin
+LAeveryDAY no worries bra, I'm not even white. And I get that shit a lot from stupid people a lot 😂
El Desperado you at least have a dad
Like how in the 1st verse. He slowly gets more and more unhinged in his facial expressions.
Nice detail😊
0:07 My boi Pharrell not happy, gives the tone of the song
I love the transition from sounding like a love song, to being about his dad.
Tyler litterally makes perfect beats, like if u only listen to the background music its perfect for the song
German Pretzel sog off like hunter
2019 finna be 2020 who still bumping
Me
miss the wolf era man
Ugh, yes
😵
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
dead files exe i’m so sorry :(
:(
Damn ur old man shoulda just put in the work 😢😢
:(
Damn .. take heart
tyler got that mind set
@ 1:19 u can tell how hurt he is/was about his father by his facial expression
yeah..
awww boo hoo nigga needs some real problems to cry over
+MrThing23 Troll alert lol
Aziel Silence sounds like ur hurt
+MrThing23 just like you're ass after you're uncle visited right?
In case anyone didn't now, Tyler has mentioned in interviews how excited he is that his dad left, and how he could never been this successful. That's what this song is about, not how he hates his father
He is just acting that way..... He probably does wish he could have had a connection.. We all do..
I only spoke to my father maybe 6 times .. Now hes in a nursing home
It’s both
@@CL-fs3kt the lyrics are purposely decieving
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon3475 Resentment toward a father for his absence usually comes from a place of wanting to be loved, I wouldn’t call it excitement. His success came as a byproduct but I’m sure he still wanted to know him. “Stoked that I didn’t know” is just a concealment
@@CL-fs3kt he said he met him once but showed no special attachment toward the moment
I think this is the best song Tyler’s ever made
fucking masterpiece.
ikr so relatable
I wonder if his dad ever saw this lmao
Probably not
I feel like he did it’s 2017/18 someone has to have said “hey look isn’t this your son singing”
He reacted to it on his yt channel
@@neonmaniac7865 what yt channel
I hope he answered.
My wife has had a complicated past, which stems from not having a father. I do everything I can to create a better life for her and our daughter. Thought I'd speak on behalf of those dads that give a fuck. Spreading love and positivity, James.
my grandpa died and I didnt even get to meet him before he died and I feel so bad because he js left now I try and meet more people I wish I could’ve met him..
Tyler made a huge statement when he came to light. This fucking dude won best new artist before he was even 20. I still rock his shit he's just what life seems to be about, real.
2 years later and this shit still gets me caught in my feelings
I know the main focus of this song isnt the grandma part, but im fucking broken right now and this song is just helling me get through whatever i needed to hear and feel, i havent and didnt want to still cope and feel sad that my grandfather passed. He passed in 2016, yea it has been like 8 years but sometimes there are just things that remind me or spark him in my mind and I just start getting flashbacks of what i remember, this song is old uea but it is now the song I am using to cope and just help through this moment. And many more. If i ever did get a chance to call him one last time, I hope he answers.
This probably the song that hit me hard the most
tried calling my dad today, He never picked up so i left a message saying he was a coward and Im dad now
Lmao, I'm sorry I laughed at that
At first I thought u meant that you are your father now or somethjng 🙏
Hope u take care of your child
Good if he’s not there you have to move on trust me

Shout out to all the homies who don’t have a dad in their life, your probably better off without him, cause if he left he wouldn’t of cared if he stayed.
Best/most underrated Tyler song😓🔥🔥
i come back to this song every year on this day. Happy father's day, ya'll...
You can tell the pain in Tyler’s voice talking about his dad but he also wishes his dad will answer. This is just on another level
Anybody here that doesn’t have a father just know somewhere in the world an anonymous internet guy loves you and wants to guide you like one. Take care and carry on with life, rooting for you ❤️
3 years later and still the most underrated song by him, i still love it.
its been 3 years since this video came out and i didnt notice that pharrel was the dude on the drums. damn if that aint slow idk what is
this song has different vibe, i can feel Tylers pain you can see it in his eyes when he talks about his dad
I like these kinds of songs that tell stories of someone missing an important figure in their life, Tyler's dad for example, it also gives off a "surrounded by 8th wrong people" sort of vibe when he mentions his friends and their problems on how they relate to him and are there for him. great song.
i’m i the only one that comes back here every father’s day?
Never met my dad, Never want to. Almost all my dads side of the family doesn’t care to look at me, see me, or even say anything to me. It makes me feel like a piece of trash that was thrown away. My brothers Dad is dead…He killed himself..My brother is 6 and when my mom told him that he cried…How selfish is someone to kill themself and not say goodbye to any of his children..He has 3 children, No goodbye, No sorry, No nothing. I was so mad when I heard that, my brother will never get to see his dad or even talk to him. I cried when I heard that because even though I felt bad for my brother..I felt bad for the other kids that he had because he didn’t even say anything to them at all. This song is so relatable and if I ever shared this so with anyone else they will be concerned for me. When I grow up I’m going to be better than my dad
Thank you Tyler I really look up to you. When I get older I’m going to be a musician and that’s my dream
I'm so sorry man
@@sk8rboi4everplease follow your dreams. You will really get somewhere

I “would call my grandma but she’s just nostalgic “ long live all our beautiful souls
Happy Father’s Day, thanks for leaving me
Sorry to hear that. Just know one day that you will be something and make hella money and that fucker won’t get shit
This will always be my favorite song from Tyler. Its been a hot ass minute since i heard it but i came accross it again on an old playlist i had and that shit hit different
we need another album like wolf, so many kids can relate to this album with the light parts and the dark parts.
"I would like to tell my grandma but she's just nostalgia, I call her number, but she don't answer..." god damn that shit hits deep
It’s 2019 this still hitting my soul.
