Answer the phone,
it's just me,(just me)(and me)

Passing around,
1 damn key.

[LOW BASS PULSE]

Feeling secluded near-ly,

[SUBTLE VOCAL ECHO — "near-ly"]

Called up my baby-mama,
Ask-ing whats her plans this evening.

[PIANO ACCENT]

Snapped out of that,
fake ass day dream.

This shit runs deep,
Just blame me.

[BEAT BEGINS TO FORM]

Slurring my words & hopping them curbs.

[DUN — DUN — DUN — DUN]

Seeing double, im in trouble.
