Ghosts

I saw a ghost last night I think he following me No matter where I go in life He got a problem with me Always looking down on me God how pompous is he Music isn't good enough So what he want me to be A man who stand on principle Don't break my word or my balls Hard enough to kill a friend But give the world to my moms Guess he don't know my heart bleed Oxygen in my lungs Every night I need sleep After pussy I'm done Did he know what he did Or what I would become Saw my first .38 Started looking for guns Got a line on something Now I'm under the act Suited up with dress shoes But believe me I'm strapped Sought council from his peers Cuz they was living they rap A lot of it was common sense But I already knew that The irony of it all Y'all I hope he come back He the only one who love me As a matter of fact I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Made me think about today But all I see is tomorrow I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Told me I ain't working hard A disappointment to god I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Told me forget about a wife Go and get you a coupe I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night He keep showing me my life Man he blowing the Duke What about your last girl Did you read her confessions That's bullshit she don't love me She just over possessive No offense to my friends No disrespect to my family But I tell it like it is I ain't tryna be petty They won't hear this anyway They ain't bumping my music Too many bars and metaphors All they hear is confusion For a local boy I'm winning Guess they think that I'm losing A long way to the top I ain't speeding I'm cruising And with a spirit like mine They can't f*ck up my day If they on the sidelines They can stay that way What they eat don't feed me Gotta get me some bread But it's kinda hard to focus With this voice in my head Never needed leadership Built this shit from the dirt Couple niggas threw me plays Paid em all what they worth Took a swig of Clicquot Took a puff of the purp Being the son of god hard It's a gift and a curse I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Made me think about today But all I see is tomorrow I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Told me I ain't working hard A disappointment to god I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night Told me forget about a wife Go and get you a coupe I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night He keep showing me my life Man he blowing the Duke I saw a ghost I saw a ghost I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost last night I saw a ghost I have been persecuted crucified degraded belittled and left for dead That pain and mistreatment has made me even stronger Yes I am more powerful than ever To feel my power you must say my name To be free from the terrors that haunt you say my name To free yourself from the fear that paralyses you Say my name
