The Streets
Phone Is Always in My Hand
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Few of us are up for livin' in the next World War
So do not disturb a woman that you are not ready for
Cheat on her into the smoke
Leavin' the club while it's sunny
If you're treatin' her like it's a joke
She'll leave you like it's funny
I'll always give you advice when you need it
And sometimes when you don't
Swim in ice waters when the convo gets close
If I say I'm five minutes away and you believe me
That's your problem
I only want one thing from her, personality
Which is good because she certainly has three
He who angers you conquers
This ain't playtime, this ain't conkers
This could get dizzy, pre-Bonkers
Grime kids mosh now, they don't conga
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
[Verse 2: Dapz on the Map]
Yo, I said I had my phone on 'Do Not Disturb'
Just saw your calls and read your texts
When I shout her back, she's shoutin' back
Then I pressed decline, she can't accept that
My phone is always in my hand
Then, out of the blue, start seeing red things
I'm out of whatever it gets out of hand
'Cause she can't take the disrespect to ignore, man
But I'm not ignorant, I'm too busy indulgin' the Internet
I'm online but I pree her offline
Quick to respond but slow to reply
Don't know why you unlocked my phone
Fill up my phone back in the blink of an eye
My 'Screen Time' hours on my iPhone X is high
I'm on ten per cent, but might let it die (Oh my)
Woah, FaceTime missed calls from the gang
But they don't watch face 'cause they know how I stay
Try called twice, get no answer and call it a day, come on
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
I draw my finger down the skin of my cheek
Like the tear that runs down in your fucking dreams
We have no time to lose, this heavy in our stomach
Time is an illusion, especially at lunch
Everyone's around when times are amazing
But do they wait with you when you're tying your laces?
You're ignoring me
But you're watching my stories
I'll this say again, and I'll say this to another
It ain't underhanded and it ain't unloving
But don't try to understand ladies, brother
Ladies understand ladies and they hate each other
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I'm ignoring you, I am
