But why presage doom? 2. "Statistics" by Lyfe Jennings. This might ostensibly be Jennings' concession to female empowerment, but the hook admonishes listeners to not be a booty call, and to "tell him that you're celibate." Kind of self-defeating ...

    not digging it. like lyfe, but hate the song.

    is that kandi from escape talking??

  4. Humph

    Alot of people will relate to this joint… but yeah the dial tone in the background is kinda annoying…

  5. Mz.SweetZ

    I really like this song, I can relate to it and so can other people. I love Lyfe Jennings period I feel like he’s real with his music and he don’t sugar coat anything.

  6. Realist

    cool concept but that busy signal? not so much plus his voice reminds me of one of the muppet babies

  7. Do-Wop

    It’s not the dial tone or the Kandi’s voice that’s bugging me…it’s the chorus. I love Lyfe so, I’ll cop the CD regardless:-}

  8. Guiette ManMan'w

    Instead of grooving im laughing.. Lol the busy signal is really funny.. LMAO

  9. TREN D

    I like the song….but not for Lyfe’s voice. I think that it would fit another male singer who has a smoother tone

  10. KIDDO

    Damn Lyfe, I was hoping for something better! sorry but I would hit the skip button on this one!

  11. mememe

    AYOOOWWOWWOWWWOWWW How annoying is that? Lyfe is a cool dude, but that voice. He was cute when he was the ex con playing his guitar on the Apollo, and I wanted to like him, but his official releases are hard to swallow.

  12. Tamera

    Brian stay posting about these flop ATL artists like Lyfe,Sean Garrett etc.

    Sorry but nobody cares.

  13. xquoooozme

    I actually like it… I’ll be coppin’ it.

  14. Chezney

    EOWOWOWOWOW EOWOWOWOWOWOW BUSY! Kind of sounds like a cat being murdered! I can’t stop laughing at the chorus! lmao

  15. LOL

    LMAO @ MEMEME! THAT PART MADE ME ALMOST CHOKE LAUGHING

  16. LOL

    @ CHEZNEY
    I KNOW RIGHT?? LMAO TOO

  17. s. dot

    Love Lyfe BUT I am not feeling this song. Its quite annoying.

  18. talentless+bajan=(rihanna)

    awww hell naw lol

    but i like his song s.e.x.

  19. Kyla

    LOOL @ MEMEME .. I was going to say how annoying that part was but had no idea how to begin typing it out.

    It’s annoying (especially the chorus) but I like it because of its “annoyingness” .. I found myself laughing throughout the song though.

  20. skyy

    T town…

    And his first album was the sh*t

  21. Tasha32

    LOVE me some life, he could sing the newspaper to me and I’d be JUST fine with that. And no, knowone didnt say he cant sing, not sure what you’ve heard but he can blow. Not sure if you’ve heard ANY of his other stuff to say he cant sing. Also, I saw him live a few yrs back and you would have thought he had his CD playing because he sounded just like he does on his cd if not better, that’s how you KNOW a person can sing. His voice is a little different than a lot of artist out, it’s raspy and I love it, just like Anthony Hamilton, they have those unique voices.

  22. Mike J.

    I always supported Lyfe and will continue to do so but THIS, I’m not feeling at all.. The “busy” signal between the hook and the “awowowowowow” chorus is annoying and just throws the song off. Now, his vocals in between the song is straight but other than that I’m not really feeling it.

  23. Shit

    *OWOWOWOWOW EOWOWOWOWOWOW*

    ~ Did Rihanna teach him that??

    NEway The phone rings/tones remind me of Gaga & Bey… Its O.k I guess

  24. baby girl

    i think it grows on you. i stopped judging a song on the first listen. if i did then i wouldnt like it either. but after a coule listens here and on the radio I LOVE IT!!!! the hook went from annoyin to catchy; i cant stop singing it eyoyoyoyo yoyoyoyo yoyoyo busy!

  25. Ceci

    I am not sure what ya’ll hearing but this song is fiyah! Something about his voice like Anthony Hamilton is pure soul and just brings you in. I can so relate to this song lol…especially when a nigga either sending you to voice mail or always busy when you call lol. it’s a cute and funny song. Feeling it!

  26. Ms.Tasha

    whom ever does not like this song just dont know music.lol….this song is the ish!!!

    Its different.Im loving it on first listen!!!

  27. Anon.

    The verses sound good, the chorus can go. Lyfe can do better.

  28. KEM

    At first I thought the chorus was “jarring” or annoying.. but It’s actually really catchy and it’s the type of arrangement that will make you mock him.. then the next thing you know it’s stuck in your head.. I actually thought the chorus sounded good by the end of the song. Not a lyfe fan myself – the only song I have loved is “let’s stay together”

    And surprisingly I didn’t find the busy signal that bad, but I’m male.. according to my mom noises like that get on females’ nerves because their hearing is more fine tuned to higher pitches.

  29. Real Talk

    wow this is a real song….i cAN SO RELATE I LOVE IT WHEN ARTISTS MAKE SONGS ABOUT REAL ISSUES.

  30. Blkmarilyn

    I think the song is Hot. This guy can sing me the phone book and I would listen up.

  31. BKHONEY1108

    I LOVE LYFE, BUT NOT FEELING THIS SONG FOR YOU.

  32. miss_jones_30906

    I like the song but i dont think it should be a single , and the hook needs work but still im a big fan

  33. JakeSpeed221

    I have to say that I’m really into the man’s work.. He puts a story and a Life behind all of his work.. His voice is unique and his flow is his own. I liked the song.. I get the message behind the busy signal in the back ground I just think that the engineer should just tone it down a bit. Spread the chorus so the words can be clearly understood and it works.. This particular artist work has helped me and I look forward to more of his creativity.

  34. Angie

    I would really like this song if you didn’t have that damn busy signal in the background and then that….aw wawawawa crap. I am really disappointed in this song. I LOVE LOVE LOVE some Lyfe, but this is NOT it!! And then to have that annoying Kandi on here. When she talks, it’s like nails on a chalkboard…..i’d rather hear her sing than talk anyday.

  35. Jaymi Williams

    Lyfe, I usually love your music man, but I can honestly say I’m not diggin this track. The chorus is not hot. I guess the rest of the song is aight, but if u goin to put this on the new album I would at least change up the chorus. I’m not dissing at all because ur a music genius, but even a genius runs out of material sometimes. ;)

  36. Tracy

    From one Toledoan to another, keep up the good work. We can’t please everyone but as long as you are pleased no one can slow your progress.

  37. Stephy

    i have nothing but respect for lyfe and his music, his music got me through a lot of rough times, and i always have a hard time pulling his cd’s out of my player, honestly have been waiting for him to bring out a new cd…….. i loved seeing him in concert, put on a great show in denver!…… loyal fan

  38. T

    u can sing poop stinks and it is going to be hot!!!!!! just know that if u call me a busy signal is not what u will get…. i may have to lose my religion on that phone call ;)

  39. amy

    wow it seems like there is alot of haters on here, but every song lyfe makes has tru meaning behind it and always sounds good,thank you for making real music for us to listen to, stay strong may god bless you in all you do,luv a true lyfe jennings fan.

  40. Jamie

    yo woh woh woh … I LOVE it! :) You never change and your music will ALWAYS be amazing!

  41. Niki

    The message is good the chorus need work i was feeling it tilll the ur your your ur ur ur always busy part. keep it short. try a low tone voice wit just …”your always busy” and the busy signal sound effects maybe at the beginning but not at every chorus. then give the dial tone at the end to her and call me LOL!
