Unknown Number Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, just believe me nuh

Nah mek dem set we up!

Bus'!
Technology, it set a way (believe me nuh)
We haffi get away

[Hook]
Aye, mi ask
Who's calling me from an unknown number?
We nuh answer no unknown number
Nah pick it up if it's a private call
Gangster nuh answer no private call
Who's calling me from an unknown number?
We nuh answer no unknown number
Nah pick it up if it's a private call
Gangster nuh answer certain call

[Verse 1]
So who could it be?
A who dem a pree?

Nuh call mi phone if you nuh waan me fi see
Informer work fi a fee
Feds dem nuh let mi be
Dem tap mi phone, spy out like the KGB
Yo!

So if you know your number block, nuh bother call me
'Cause mi nah go answer even if a mi mommy

Yo, a regular dem keep it up
