What it is
"Answer" is a track on Tyler, The Creator's third studio album, Wolf, released in April 2013, which he wrote and produced himself. The song is addressed to his absent father: the verses express anger toward him, while the chorus voices the hope that his father would answer if he called. The final verse turns to other parts of his life at the time, including the death of his grandmother.
