[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^✦

Multisyllabic internal rhyme chainsExistential wordplayEnjambmentMetaphorical juxtaposition of death and immortality

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on complex, flowing multi-syllabic schemes (e.g., 'criminals/generals/bicentennial') that are sustained through internal rhyme placement, creating a dense, propulsive feel.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

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

① Physical depth; the rapper is so submerged or profound that even water cannot contain his weight.② Metaphorical depth; his subject matter is so heavy that the natural environment is overwhelmed and collapses (sinks) under the weight of his lyrical presence.

"When I'm dead I ain't really gon' die, I'm gon' break down to particles"

① Scientific/Biological; reference to the decomposition of a body into base elements.② Spiritual/Existential; reference to his music and persona becoming omnipresent or inescapable, existing as a pervasive energy that remains even when the person is gone.

Consistent thematic focus on the 'Ghost' persona

Strong command of cadence that creates a hypnotic, ominous tone

Sophisticated use of imagery regarding death and spiritual existence

Occasional reliance on abstract philosophical assertions that lack concrete narrative resolution

Some metaphors, while atmospheric, sacrifice clarity for the sake of the 'deep' persona
