[Intro]
In an enemy✦ land
Ach! Just by destroying Stark Enterprises
We could cripple their national defense
So you, Professor Vinkle
The world's greatest expert on electricity
Must devise✦ the destruction of Stark's mighty✦ guardian
Iron Man
[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Yo, summertime holdin'✦ a nine, split the vega✦ in half
Jeeps rumble and my dogs puff grass
Bank stoppin',✦ hide your rocks, hydraulic
The kid with the most knowledge✦ will obtain✦ and touch top dollars✦
Hold me down, hand me my cape
Dusty✦ bake activate, fuck your corny✦ debates
I'm like cake, or maybe like ten thousand dollar✦ rabbits
The kid walked✦ through, switch up his accent,✦ now I'm from Paris✦
Cash the bill, frozen✦ elements in gold
Signs from the Most High causes✦ me to break the mold
How the fuck was y'all niggas✦ thinkin'?✦ You think I fell off the ledge?
The legendary✦ Ghost Deini✦ might be dead?
Never,✦ impossible, pull out black burners like tonsils
Two Galants, hittin'✦ if we got to
Bustin'✦ at y'all niggas✦ daily,✦ wall to wall, hawkin'✦
Suckin'✦ your teeth 'cause God chain-talkin'
Like Ghostface✦ this, Ghostface✦ that, Ghost sold crack
Now his revelations✦ spoken✦ through rap
Veloured down like the Sheikh of Iran✦
Gasoline cream wrapped in hospital bands, model✦ vans, Michael Davis✦
It's me against housing
Extraordinary✦ pro-black, sold God creations✦ to control thousands
Catch me at the flicks, Apollo✦ rap Frederick Douglass
You know what? Ayo, fuck this!
Ayo, how can I Move the Crowd?
First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed
Here's✦ the instructions,✦ put it together
It's simple, ain't it? Well, quite clever✦
[Bridge: Ghostface Killah]
Marvin,✦ Marvin,✦ you were a friend of mine
You stood for somethin', ugh
2Pac, Biggie, oh, how we miss you so
We want y'all both to know
We really✦ love you so
[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
Ayo, I'm Gucci✦ down, Wally✦ boots, Jamaican hat, long 4-pound
Ask niggas✦ how I get down
Don't speak much, deluxe✦ plush imaginations,✦ hold a note like Willie Hutch
You might've bumped✦ into✦ me on the Rikers bus
Weed in my cheeks, gem in my beauty✦ sleep sleeve
Dead serious, knowledge✦ by 2% triple geese
Come on, we juggle mics, three Card Molly,✦ amps advance
To the final, show these niggas✦ how the way we dance
Hot night, Jamaica, came through in a booger✦ green '68 Pacer✦
Mad paper,✦ high as a fuck, truck
Two rappers✦ got stuck that night, I ain't saying no names✦
They know who, thank you for the chains
Outdoor event,✦ New Year's Eve, Cali✦ weed
30 seconds 'til we tear and decease, quick, call my seeds
Dipped✦ in the crowd, the ho spotted me
He knew not to call my name out, he walked✦ off softly✦
We exactly formed✦ like Christ and his Disciples
Black fatigues, lethal-faced doonie, he held the rifle
We had the whole shit shook, your favorite rappers✦ droppin'✦ their drinks
On the low, tuckin'✦ their links, we made eighty✦ off the books
[Verse 3: Superb]
One of the illest since Magic✦ Johnson, no disrespect
But metaphors'll keep me out the projects
Rap connects'll keep me correct
Ayo, I wrote this on Donnie roof, after✦ his funeral, on one knee
Thinkin'✦ his killer's followin' me
So to my nigga✦ Donnie, up there
Can you please tell God that we fucked✦ up here?
You got beer, weed, guns, AIDS
All these obstacles, it's hard to make it nowadays
Why's the Devil✦ winning?✦ Some say it's our fault
If that's the answer,✦ you know smokin'✦ cause cancer✦
Let me drop a bracelet, leave a chain behind✦
My tape stay at the beginning✦ because that's how they rewind✦
Y'all know how we dine, we don't eat swine
And we don't drink wine, if you don't bring me some motherfuckin' cognac,✦ I'll kill you!
I can't feel you
Ain't in my senses✦ and you ain't in my dollars✦
I fuck with rottweilers, no leashes, no collars✦
Brolic✦ scholars, that's Ghost Deini!!✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I'm like cake, or maybe like ten thousand dollar rabbits"
① Literal wealth imagery involving luxury pets or high-value commodities.② A surrealist non-sequitur meant to highlight Ghostface's unpredictable and eccentric persona.
"pull out black burners like tonsils"
① The physical action of removing a firearm from a holster.② A grim simile linking the extraction of a weapon to a surgical procedure to remove an infected or problematic body part.
Exceptional rhythmic elasticity that keeps the listener off-balance
High-density phonetic density creating a unique sonic atmosphere
Commanding vocal presence that elevates the surreal lyrical content
Innovation in abstract street narration
Narrative cohesion is sacrificed for rhythmic texture
Some metaphors remain opaque and lack clear grounding in the text
Rapid shifts in subject matter can be disorienting for the casual listener
