[Verse 1]
You have reached R. Kelly
Unfortunately, I'm sleep
Been out partying all night
And I'm blasted off that Hennessy
I hopped to hotel lobbies
Going to them after-parties
Throwing up and carrying on
'Bout to have somebody drive me home
I get through the door, fall on the floor
Get up, I'm staggering
Look upstairs, shit is blurry because I'm real bent
And now I don't know whether I'm coming or going
And this goes out to all of my honeys that's calling

[Chorus]
Leave your name right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or
Smoking on some trees or
Having a little sex or
If I'm not faded or
Making a baby
(Would you please, yeah)
Leave your name right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or (Said if)
Blowing on trees (I'm not)
Having some sex (Having sex, yeah)
If I'm not faded or
Making a baby

[Verse 2]
Drinking Belvedere, 7-Up, and gin
I told myself "never again"
Sleeping while the club is crunk
Don't make no sense to be that drunk
Arguing through the night
Pushing on people and starting fights
I was fucked up, I confess
People saying "Kellz is a hot mess"
Even after that, I was taking shots
Shot after shot, shot after shot, then...
I couldn't even open the door to my Benz
Dropped off and I get in the door now
Lying on the stairs snoring now
While you're calling me, calling me, calling me
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, Kellz
While you calling me, calling me, calling me
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
But I'm knocked out sleep

[Chorus]
So leave your name (please leave your name) right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or
Smoking on some trees or
Having a little sex or (in the middle of having sex)
If I'm not faded or
Making a baby
(Won't you please) Leave your name right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or (call you back)
Blowing on trees (promise I'll call you back)
Having some sex (I'll call you back)
If I'm not faded or (I'll call you back)
Making a baby

[Bridge]
When the morning comes and I'm sober
And everything is cool
I'll check my message
And I promise to get right back with you
And if you think I'm screening calls
You're muthafuckin' right
That's for the haters
I return calls to all the girls I like

[Chorus]
So leave your name right after the beep (leave your name)
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or
Smoking on some trees or
Having a little sex or
If I'm not faded or
Making a baby
(Just leave your name, yeah)
Leave your name right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or (call you back)
Blowing on trees (promise I'll call you back)
Having some sex or (I'll call you back)
If I'm not faded or (I'll call you back)
Making a baby

Leave your name right after the beep
And I'm sure to get back with you
If I'm not asleep or
Smoking on some trees or
Having a little sex or
If I'm not faded or
Making a baby
Leave your name right after the beep...

Damn, 200 missed calls...

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
