Phone Tap
AZ feat. The Firm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
What's the deally, I just touched grounds down in Philly
Brought a pound with me, feds floating around silly
Tryna find Lynn, bitch supposed to be in the Benz
Parked in row ten, her and that slow ho Gwen
Shoulda known she was a bitch that we both coulda boned
If posted alone, the ass had us both in the zone
I know the jewels, no time for them thoughts, too much to lose
Just tryna vibe until them hoes role with the ride
Where's your joy and pride? You know little Des' got your eyes
In the cut drop CLK, the top's up
Left the mall bought Little Amal the toy truck
Your boy's what? Three-years-old now, correct?
He and my daughter age neck-and-neck, they future's set
Trees got me wet
In the background's a old cassette, fly Stephanie Mills shit
What's the deal with all this shit I'm hearing up top?
You got arrested, shot a fair one with a cop?
That ain't your stee', you usually low key when OT
I'm only going off of what some weak bitch told me
That's some ill shit, here that bitch go with her clique
Yo, Dunn, I'll hit you right back 'cause the static is thick
We got your phone tapped, what you gon' do?
'Cause sooner or later, we'll have your whole crew
All we need now is the right word or two
To make all it stick like glue, then you through
We got your phone tapped, what you gon' do?
'Cause sooner or later, we'll have your whole crew
All we need now is the right word or two
To make all it stick like glue, we got you
We just hit the crib-o, I'm curled up on this pillow
I'm still low, heard the ill news, these niggas killed Mo
The shit touched me, tryna chill, just lit a Dutchie
From a while back, same foul cats who tried to bust me
Caught 'em sleeping in Spanish Harlem with some Puerto Ricans
Up in Washington Heights right off the Deacon
Feel awful speaking, for some reason feel the phone's tapped
Alone with gats, left with a vest to watch my own back
Keep your eyes open, stay wide, shit is mind blowin'
Look for any sign showin' one-time is knowin'
About the dynasty, shit is not minor leagues no more
Cats bleed in this cold war
Son, we took an oath, then this life took us both
We rich now, milk the whole cow, split the growth
Now I'm on the Conduit, headlights on
Fluid in the windshield, wipes gone
This light storm that's formin' in the sky
You comin' home tomorrow? Will you drive or will you fly
Hold up, my other side
Yo, son, some other cats tried to ruin our plans
Sendin' two decoy bitches with pictures of you and your man
Askin' your whereabouts, I gave 'em no leads
For all a nigga know, them hoes fuck with police
No shit, I'm clickin' over, I'ma tell Sos' quick
Son, them outta state bitches tryna get us both hit
That was Nate, he hit me last night late while in my ho's stomach
Said it's no runnin', we FBI's most wanted
So play the low, change your clothes, pack your bags
Watch what you say on this phone, get home fast
We got your phone tapped, what you gon' do?
'Cause sooner or later, we'll have your whole crew
All we need now is the right word or two
To make all it stick like glue, then you through
We got your phone tapped, what you gon' do?
'Cause sooner or later, we'll have your whole crew
All we need now is the right word or two
To make all it stick like glue, we got you
Yo, it's all good
I'ma hit you when I touch down tomorrow, son, word
Stay on point, don't even use the phone
Just come to my crib, yo, word up
Out
The lyrics to "Phone Tap" by AZ feat. The Firm depict a conversation between two individuals, Esco and Dunn, who are discussing their current circumstances, suspicions of being surveilled, and the potential implications of their actions. Esco has just arrived in Philly with drugs, and he's looking for Lynn, who is supposed to be waiting in a Benz. He reflects on a woman named Gwen, whom he and Dunn both had an interest in. However, they recognize the risks involved and prioritize their own safety and security.
As the conversation progresses, Dunn mentions rumors he heard about Esco's arrest and altercation with a police officer. This surprises Esco, as he usually keeps a low profile when operating out of town. The lyrics imply that there is a third party involved who has been providing information to Dunn, which Esco finds concerning.
The song then switches perspective to AZ, who is listening to the conversation from a tapped phone. He reveals that the ultimate goal is to gather enough evidence to incriminate Esco and his crew. They are patiently waiting for the right word or clue to solidify their case. AZ also mentions the killing of someone named Mo, which deeply impacted him. He understands the dangerous nature of his lifestyle and remains vigilant, constantly on guard against potential threats. The song ends with the individuals making plans to meet up in person instead of relying on phone communication.
Overall, "Phone Tap" tells a story of the dangers and paranoia that come with involvement in criminal activities. It highlights the importance of trust and discretion, as well as the consequences of being caught in a world full of surveillance and betrayal. It serves as a cautionary tale about the precariousness of a life on the edge of the law.

In the 90s mtv was the shit. I loved how music videos were nearly like short movies. There will never be a decade of music like the 90s. Amazing
