I'm A Ghost (Explicit)

I'm A Ghost (Explicit) - Hilltop Hoods

Written by：Barry Franc

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 chassis

Think about these rhymes and what they gave me

Sounds like it's wild but a microphone and two turntables saved me

Took me around the world and bought me a home

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 '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 premo with gino and thirsting

And missing out on being there for people in person

Cause we don't sleep when we're working

We don't bleed when we're hurting

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 his forces

Writing on the wall light it up on the porch

It's 1994 5 mics in the source

There's a mighty mighty roar from the crowd and of course

It's this

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 fibers

You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone

Two sheets on a surface of water

Loose leaf running worthless and torn up

If I could do these words justice

You'd see how much it's worth it

I fought for every kid that never got one mention

Every little bit of love or affection

I'm done with pretending the sun is descending

And all good things must come to an end

Close sun swallow the day this is

Nothing more than affording to take the bills

And I walk away with nothing

And let me tell you something

That's f**king more than I came in with

You feel me

Do you feel me

And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grateful

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'd lose sight when the effort was too painful

But rap gave me such inspired dream

That 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

You feel me

Do you feel me

Went from going through 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 its fibers

You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone

Went from going through 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 its fibers

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

Went from going through 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 its fibers

You see me walking now I'm a ghost
