I'm A Ghost

Two sheets to the wind in a taxi
Two feet to the wind in the backseat
Two beeps to the car in front of us
And one of us ending up wrapped around the ?
Think about these rhymes and what they gave me
Sounds like it's wild but a microphone and two turntables save me
Took me around the world and bore me hunger
I've seen all these other crews beg too
Not knowing all the ways people helped them
Might not ever get a damn 'thank you'
But they're sure enough gonna get a 'you're welcome'
Matter of fact, I ain't leaving
I was here first and I don't believe them
I was here bursting listening to Primo with Gino and bursting
And missing out on being there for people in person
Cause we don't sleep when we're workin'
We don't bleed when we're hurtin'
We wear our heart on our sleeve and I'm certain
That we'll feel the burden 'til we call the curtains
You feel me?...
Do you feel me?...
The sky lights on the court, like blind man with his forces
Writing on the wall, light it up on the porches
It's 1994, five mics in The Sources
There's a mighty mighty roar from the crowd and of courses
Bliss, bliss, bliss
Do you feel me?

I've gone though the coach and the liners
To being known for the shows and the fires
Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom
To cool down my face with some ice from the rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
And the day goes less than it's vibers
You see me walking now, I'm a ghost, I'm gone

Two sheets on a surface of water
Loose leaf running worthless in a tourner
If I could do these words justice
You'd see how much it's worth it
Or fought for, every kid that never got my mansion
Every little bit of love or affection
I'm done with pretending the son is descending
And all good things must come to an end
Close sun, swallow the baby's sin
Nothing more than affording to tame the bills
And I walk away with nothing and let me tell you something
That's fucking more than I came in with
Ya feel me? Do you feel me?
Better be lying if the center is graceful
For my life, for my friends, and for the faithful
It's been a ride, but there's been a few times
That I thought I lose sight when the effort was too painful
But rap gave me such inspired dream
In fact, maybe touched my life but things
Got a little crazy, and nobody would play me
The ends that plainly justify the means
At last I can see you evolve and die
It's hard to believe that all this time
That I wore my heart on my sleeve
For this art on the scene
It's gonna be hard when I leave it all behind
Ya feel me? Do you feel me?

I've gone though the coach and the liners
To being known for the shows and the fires
Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom
To cool down my face with some ice from the rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
And the day goes less than it's vibers
You see me walking now, I'm a ghost, I'm gone

Low winter sun, light the dawn, it goes
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
Though when it's done night is on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
Nowhere to run, writing's on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
So when it come rise before we fall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
Low winter sun, light the dawn, it go
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
Broke in and done dying on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
There's nowhere to run, writing's on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
So when it comes rise, rise before we fall

I've gone though the coach and the liners
To being known for the shows and the fires
Playing packed rooms, heading to the backroom
To cool down my face with some ice from the rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
And the day goes less than it's vibers
You see me walking now, I'm a ghost, I'm gone
