Wall's first music industry exposure came as a street team member on the Northwest side of Houston, promoting southern artists such as T.I. and labels like Cash Money and The New No Limit. He is also an accomplished and proficient mixtape and party DJ, known for producing mixtapes in the now-well-known screwed & chopped style, which was invented by the late DJ Screw. While he has recently stated on record that South LE. (in Houston's southside) is his base of operations, it is not the neighborhood that Paul Wall is actually from. Paul Wall has claimed several such neighborhoods over his career, starting with De Soto in Acres Homes (his original home neighborhood), then switching to Gulf Bank (also in Acres Homes).
Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and Jon Higgins were originally affiliated with Swishahouse Records, but left for Paid in Full Records a short time later. After several mixtape and independent releases, including the critically acclaimed 'Get Ya Mind Correct', the two parted ways on bad terms. Chamillionaire continued to release independent records, while Paul Wall returned to the Swishahouse fold. This move allowed him to appear on Mike Jones' first commercially distributed single, "Still Tippin'", from his first major label album 'Who Is Mike Jones?'.
His major label debut, 'The People's Champ', has produced a lead single, "Sittin' Sidewayz", which is receiving national radio and television play. In August, 2005, rumors began to circulate that Paul Wall and Chamillionaire had settled any differences that remained between them, and are again on good terms with one another. Paul Wall also appeared with GLC on the song "Drive Slow" on Kanye West's second solo album, 'Late Registration'.
Paul Wall is the owner and proprietor of TV Jewelry in Houston. The store specializes in the production of grills, silver, gold, or platinum caps and diamond inlays (usually princess-cut diamonds). Grills have become a growing trend in rap culture and have even influenced its own song. "Grillz", by Nelly featuring Paul Wall along with other artists, where at one point Paul raps "Call me George Foreman 'cause I'm sellin' everybody grillz.)
I'm On Patron
Paul Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
Hey what it do,
I'm on like a light switch
My wrist well froze up like a computer glitch
Take nine gone get it jumpin' like a kangaroo
Is it yo birthday lets go on have a shot or two
My partner glue you put me on to somethin' new
Snuck in a gallon of lemonade from chic-fil-a
Mix it up with this a rockin' we gonna parlee
I'm lookin' for a hot girl that like ta ay baybaybay
Come out and play lets see ya shake it this way
That patron clear as day I'm on that hard
Gettin' lit wit my dogs havin' a party with these broads
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome, (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
Gone and poppin' another bottle get this party to crackin'
All these barbie doll models make the champs start backin'
Five fifty's everywhere nothing cant depend it, hes on his fifth premiere
Seven it ain't even eleven
Thug boss slim thug drinkin' gpo grey goose patron and orange juice
Po' me some mo'
Now box and Poppy Joe just ordered the rose mo
Drunkin' dueces to my partner how I see 'm big go
I'm loaded like a full clip
Leanin' like a sinkin' ship
Lit up like a christmas tree
How much throwed up can I get
Stone and lil'c
Bringin' out the jagger bomb
If I get pulled over DJ Jonny can pay my bond off
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome, (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome(to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
I keep bumpin' into people say man my bad
I'm intoxicated a tad and the DJ had to be
Miskin' mike and scad my family gettin slammed
Beans and corn bread just bought around another damn grand
Man I'm so throwed I can't think
Who the hell been puttin' they lips on my drink
What the hell the waitress doin' wit my change
Maybe some red bull will help me sober up
Matter fact mix it wit this grey goose in my cup
I can barely stand up I'm about to throw up
If you cant roll with the big dogs go hang wit the pups
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome, (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
I'm on patron I just took some shots to tha dome (to tha dome)
I'm gone, so gone, so yo can I get a ride home
The lyrics of Paul Wall's song "I'm On Patron" depict someone who has had too much to drink and is seeking a ride home. The repetition of the phrase "I'm on Patron" throughout the song serves to emphasize the singer's drunkenness and suggests that Patron, a high-end tequila brand, is the culprit. The opening lines, "I just took some shots to tha dome," further emphasize the idea of heavy drinking and suggest that the singer has consumed shots of Patron tequila.
The verses also describe a party scene where the singer is looking for a good time with attractive women. The references to drinking games and specific drinks, such as a gallon of lemonade mixed with alcohol, create a picture of a wild party atmosphere. The singer's slurred speech and difficulty standing, expressed through lines like "I can barely stand up I'm about to throw up," suggest that this party is out of control, and the singer is experiencing the consequences of excess.
Overall, the lyrics of "I'm On Patron" center around the theme of partying and heavy drinking. The repetition of the phrase "I'm on Patron" serves to emphasize the singer's drunkenness, and the references to specific drinks and party activities create a vivid picture of a wild party scene. However, the singer's difficulty standing and seeking a ride home highlight the negative aspects of drinking to excess, and the lyrics could serve as a cautionary tale against overindulgence.

I admire Paul Wall's sense of responsibility. Instead of jeopardizing life and limb, he makes an admirable request, "Can I get a ride home?" Maybe, as a role model, he ought to do a public service announcement advising all drinkers to designate a driver.
