Def One - Ghost Lyrics

Take a glimpse in the mirror, you're looking at me broken down
Can you find the hope inbounds, really got me floating round
Feeling like a boat on the ground, stuck and lost
Can I even serve a purpose now
Take a look at myself, realize I'm not the only one
Struggling with everything, even though it's not the end
Wonder if we just pretend and sit and talk about it, It could help
I'll exert the verse, is it worth it, Immerse in the truth, I know it won't hurt
I know when I put it on the pad and spit it in a verse
I take the time to make sure it's perfect
The time I take to explode with rage, on the page that I write
Watch it mold for days, and it grows with age
I'll evolve into something crazy
But it never would've happened if I didn't survive the OD
The flow would be deleted, I never would've made it
A baffling tragedy, So sad to see, That was fantasy
So I was resurrected and given a choice
Bolstered my voice and deployed all the weapons
Invest all the best lines, ingest all the best rhymes
Regurgitate the flow, hit em with a bomb beat
Watch 'em wow, When I step on a stage
Never wanna see that ghost again, Never wanna be so close to it
Too much time lost, did a damn good job of getting my life back, now I'm taking the right track
Deliver the right raps, you know I'm holding it down, ready or not cause it's time for the jump
Drop right in and go for the win, I got all the wind in my sails again, Come on
Got so used to wrecking myself, had to check myself
Put a dent in my health, such a waste for waste case
Debating how to maintain, I pray for the day that I break way
You know I gotta make these waves, floating on top of this broken world we living in
You know what the vision is, never a derivative, 420
More money in the pocket, boy, just stop it
You see what it takes to make your boy rocket
You see what it takes to making that profit
I'm a hustler from the beginning, diminished and torn
Gotta stay alive and make a name for the fourth time
I'm a glorified, borderline asshole today
Pass me the cake, I'm eating, believe me but the looks be deceiving
Your feeling on top but your cold inside like an ice cube
Ain't life a beautiful thing when you move that brain matter
Never getting enough, It was rough from the start,
I nearly fell apart, I was broken in pieces, had to let it go, they put me back together again
Faster than ever to win, mastered the art in a pinch
Time that I'm copping legit, never hit bottom again
I'm still calm as hell but I'm feeling any minute that I finally might just pop
Slowly build back the walls I knocked down, Feeling like I just seen a ghost in this house
One for the memories that still remain, I know I'll be the same, just slightly stained
Two for my life so I keep it in check, as long as I'm alive and I'm taking a breath
I know I'll stay moving, keep on taking a step
So I'm never looking back cause there's nothing left
