[Pre-Chorus: Illmac]
If they ain’t loyal I don’t post wit’ ‘em
They was see-through so I ghosted ‘em
Names on bullets when I’m loading ‘em
Told ‘em dead it then I ghosted ‘em
[Chorus: Illmac, Lenka Shockley, & both]
I had to come up missing, to make my presence known
So I ghosted ‘em
I had to count my blessings, they don’t add up I get ghost
Then I ghosted ‘em
[Verse 1: Illmac]
We getting money like 2006
Used to get two-fifty for a ounce of mids
Never let a bitch get in my head like John Malkovich
This my forte, skip the foreplay like ya’ album skits
Fullmetal Alchemist, nosediving mountain cliffs
Surgical wit’ it, feel like Alonzo pulling out the bitch
Knock you out ya’ shit, blowing down ya’ house of bricks
Lounging in my fortress lit, order hits like the Saudi prince
Had to break the mold, sheep’s clothes, masquerading wolf
Calibrate the scale, take a half and make it whole
Channel HBO, Game of Thrones
From dragon flames I rose
Walk out my palace straight to gold like a pharaoh
My heart is black and made of coal
Ancient Rome, gladiator dome
Pop molly get lockjaw, alligator roll
Gladly take your soul, ain’t doing no favors, I do this for paper
Check the polygraph, I’m true to my nature
I do this, don’t lie to you then try to justify to others
Judge threw the book at me, people judge me by the cover
Tryna self-improve, selfish dude, eat the pussy, left a Yelp review
Life a chess game, I take the L and move
She pushing buttons like the ‘Rari’ll start
I’m getting ghost in the whip like Mario Kart
Blood in the water with sharks, tearing bodies apart
Blew candles out, fought in the dark like Arya Stark
Name’s on the list
[Pre-Chorus: Illmac]
If they ain’t loyal I don’t post wit’ ‘em
They was see-through so I ghosted ‘em
Names on bullets when I’m loading ‘em
Told ‘em dead it then I ghosted ‘em
[Chorus: Illmac, Lenka Shockley, & both]
I had to come up missing, to make my presence known
So I ghosted ‘em
I had to count my blessings, they don’t add up I get ghost
Then I ghosted ‘em
[Interlude: Illmac]
They say, give your people the roses while they could smell ‘em and I agree
But sometimes the soil ain’t ready for the flower
You gotta go through some shit and that’s the fertilizer so we could all grow
Yeah
Count my blessings, I get ghost
Count my blessings, my presence known
Count my blessings, I get ghost
I don’t answer the phone, motherfucker been gone been busy
But you can always, you can always make time for shit you wanna make time for but shit
Protect ya’ energy
[Verse 2: Illmac]
I remember reduced lunches, skipping consecutive meals
Now we do lunches with exec’s and still stress on the bill
Somewhere between on the verge, and on the edge of my feels
Thoughts in my head, tryna tell my pessimism to chill
When I go, mention me amongst legends for real
North on my back, got a life-long membership in the ‘ville
Watched some switch up depending on whose presence they feel
Nothing faker than tryna fit somebody’s definition of real
Man, I forget what the choice was
Something about choosing to feel or avoid love
Young thousand-aire, rocking Billionaire Boys Club
Like oh I see, you just filling that void huh?
I already know, those I ghosted I apologize
Just needed to cleanse my energy of them toxic vibes
Now it’s ‘new phone, who dis?’
If, only I knew then what I know now, was clueless
But deep down I always knew this
I knew me, old soul, the shoe fits
Everybody’s a icon, what we do for a few clicks
Mm, old soul, the shoe fits
But the truth is
Sometimes I feel outta place, like I’m not really from here
Like I inherited these memories and this identity and I’m waiting to go back somewhere
Like I’ll wake up from this dream and think ‘oh yeah I am me, that dream was weird’
Just play along
Staying calm, ignore the voices in my head unless I’m making songs
And that’s the way we bond
Probably hard to be with me period
Feelings only show once in a while to keep up appearances
Damn
