Yeah my niggaz,✦ just spend a little bit of time with the ghost
Holiday, styles,✦ pinero,✦ well you listen✦ to me
Real niggaz✦ feel me, some real nggaz probably✦ won't feel me
But as you know me, I don't really✦ give a fuck
Before✦ I leave I'd like to give a word to the shorties
Despite✦ what I say, despite✦ what you see in the streets
Dspite what you influenced by, the life of crime has many✦ downs
A little bit of ups, and everything you do got consequences and repercussions,
So you're best bet better be to stay in school
Hit the books, stay off the streets if possble
To those on the streets, who feel stuck in the game
To those in jail, thats just how shit goes sometimes
We make do wit what we got.
To all mc's, poets, lyricists, people such as myself, ghostly individuals
You should listen✦ to my album,✦ and listen✦ and listen✦ and listen✦
I dont know what i'ma✦ sell or none or that shit
I would say i dont give a fuck but i'd probably✦ be lying
I love to get money✦ and break it down wit my niggaz✦
But in case i don't, the most important thing is respect and honor
And i got plenty✦ of that, so until✦ sheek lou child, next l.o.x. album✦
And all the mtherfucking✦ rest of the albums we do from the double R
To the d block, to anybody✦ else whose our motherfucking✦ family✦ putting down an
Album,✦ we gon crush yall motherfuckers
Well this one is the ghost, my lil niggaz✦ stay outta✦ trouble,
My big niggaz✦ who in trouble, hold ya head and everybody✦ in the motherfucking✦
Struggle, I love you and if you love me,
Shit i'll see you when I get there, One.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"time with the ghost"

① Refers to the artist himself, Styles P, whose moniker is 'The Ghost'.② A metaphorical suggestion that life is fleeting and time is a finite resource for the listener.

"ghostly individuals"

① Refers to artists who maintain a low profile or operate with mysterious, detached energy.② A self-referential nod to his own persona within the L.O.X. ecosystem.

High emotional resonance and authenticity

Clear, authoritative delivery that maintains listener engagement

Effective structural transition from street advice to industry politics

Low density of wordplay or metaphors

Lacks the rhythmic complexity found in his studio verses

Relies on conversational filler rather than tightly crafted bars
