I've done lost my patience
Nigga ima space man
On another level
So I'm seeing why yall hate me
Stuck up in a matrix
Cola in the basement
Keep it right beside me
Just in cases yo lane change
I don't want no problems
But nigga I'm the same me

Came home late
Yes my momma us to beat me

So I'm walkin on some hot stone
