[Verse 2]

Ay yo, I can see my son in my face

Am I foul cause I pray when I'm high or with a gun on my waist

Gots to ride for the criminals, die for the generals

My ghost'll be around for my bicentennial

Y'all better^✦ do the article

Cause when I'm dead I ain't really^✦ gon' die, I'm gon' break down to particles

Probably too deep to blow

When I sleep I leave earth and come back, y'all can't peep the ghost

It's like I make niggas^✦ shiver^✦ and think

I'm so deep that if water^✦ tried to listen^✦ then the rivers'll sink

And y'all niggas^✦ can't walk with me, I'm on some different shit

I can't explain it but I hear the clouds talk to me

It's sort of like the weed in a dutch, you wouldn't understand

So I stay quiet not leavin'^✦ you much

It's about^✦ time I even^✦ it up, I knock your spirit^✦ out

Holiday to Ghost gettin'^✦ greasy^✦ as fuck

Wha

[Chorus]

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef, I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

[Verse 3]

I vow to hold my niggas^✦ down, bust my gun, pay the bail

Get the weed, get the liquor, dog I'm just a lick of styles^✦

Lyrically I'm somethin' else, hardest out of nothin'^✦ else

Before^✦ you think I'm bitch you better^✦ all try to fuck yourself

Mr. Paniro^✦ and, mixed^✦ with a pharoe and

Got cold hearted^✦ when I started^✦ movin'^✦ heroin^✦

Robbed^✦ more shit than Billy^✦ the Kid

You think you're nicer^✦ than the P you the silliest kid

It's like I'm better^✦ off poppin'^✦ ya

When I flow I got a formula in styles^✦ sort of like a philosipher

Y'all start borrowin' lessons

Cause rap without^✦ me is like the gods without^✦ the stars and the crescents

I don't rap my niggas,^✦ I spit bars and baptize niggas^✦

Pull guns and kill half-sized niggas^✦

You heard about^✦ the Holy^✦ Ghost and took it for lies

Next time you see Paniro^✦ just look in his eyes, nigga^✦

[Chorus]

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef, I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef, I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

Here's^✦ why they call me the ghost

I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef, I bring all of the toast

I'm the ghost of this shit, I provide^✦ you fluid

That'll crack sidewalks^✦ and rise the sewers^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"die for the generals / My ghost'll be around for my bicentennial"

① Reference to organized crime leadership and legacy.② A play on the 'General' as an archetypal leader and the 'Ghost' persisting through 200 years of influence.

"if water tried to listen then the rivers'll sink"

① The speaker's depths are so profound they defy natural laws.② A play on 'listening' vs 'sinking'; weight of his message is so heavy it causes physical collapse in the listener.

"I'm half live, half dead, and when it's beef I bring all of the toast"

① Literal violence; carrying a firearm.② The 'Ghost' metaphor; the heat generated by death and the metaphorical 'toasting' (burning) of adversaries.

Consistent thematic cohesion regarding mortality
