I'm A Ghost

歌詞

[Verse 1: Suffa] Two sheets to the wind in a taxi Two feet to the wind in the backseat Two beeps to the car in front of us And one of us ending up wrapped around the chassis Think about these rhymes and what they gave me Sounds out this world, but a microphone and two turntables saved me Took me around the world and bought me a home I've seen all these other crews bank too Not knowing all the ways people helped them Might not ever get a damn 'thank you' But they're sure enough gonna get 'you're welcome' Matter of fact, I ain't leaving I was here first and I don't believe them I was here bursting listening to Premo and Chino and Thistin And missing out on being there for people in person Cause we don't sleep when we're working We don't bleed when we're hurting We wear our heart on our sleeve and I'm certain That we'll feel the burden 'til we call it curtains You feel me?... Do you feel me?... This that inside the core that can blind with its force It's the writing on the wall, light it up on the porch It's 1994, 5 mics in The Source There's a mighty mighty roar from the crowd and of course It's this Do you feel me?... [Hook] Went from going through quotes in the liners To being known for the shows on the fliers Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day those lights don't inspire us You'll see me walking out, I'm a ghost, I'm gone [Verse 2: Pressure] Two sheets on a surface of water Loose leaf writing worthless and torn up If I could do these words justice You'd see how much it's worth that I fought for Every kid that never got one mention Every little bit of love or affection I'm done with pretending the sun is descending And all good things must come to an end Cause I swore to the day this is nothing more than a flawed entertainment biz And I walk away with nothing And let me tell you something That's fucking more than I came in with You feel me?... Do you feel me?... And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grateful For my life, for my friends, and for the faithful It's been a ride, but there's been a few times That I thought I'd lose sight when the effort was too painful But rap gave me such inspired dream That maybe touched my life when things Got a little crazy, and nobody would play me The ends that plainly justified the means At last I can we've all been blind It's hard to believe that all this time That I wore my heart on my sleeve For this art and the scene Gonna be hard when I leave it all behind You feel me?... Do you feel me?... [Hook] Went from going through quotes in the liners To being known for the shows on the fliers Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day those lights don't inspire us You'll see me walking out, I'm a ghost, I'm gone [Pressure/Suffa] Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold I'm a ghost, I'm gone Though when it's done night is on us all I'm a ghost, I'm gone Nowhere to run, writing's on the wall I'm a ghost, I'm gone So when it come rise before we fall I'm a ghost, I'm gone Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold I'm a ghost, I'm gone Broken and done dying on us all I'm a ghost, I'm gone Nowhere to run, writing's on the wall I'm a ghost, I'm gone So when it comes rise, rise before we fall [Hook] Went from going through quotes in the liners To being known for the shows on the fliers Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day those lights don't inspire us You'll see me walking out, I'm a ghost
