[public announcement:]
It's another day and we both have thrown a fit. the tv

Pager off, i don't pay it no mind. and my problem is everytime the phone
Rings, you'll go it and you run and hide. now what's the two people both
Between us that don't exist. and we're both going to go on lying. ain't
Nothing good about that in this thing baby. we both guilty of the john doe crime!

[girl:]
Yeah, i know this thing started all good, but remember you didn't have
A dime i did what i could. took chances to put you on my account.
Now you flossing some female showing your 'mount.
That's why i trip on shit like your pager.
All in my face blowing up and you'll get it later.
The reason i run in the room with the phone all the time,
Because of you guilty of the john doe crime!
