The Ghost (Band)
Every Time
[Verse 1: Ghost]
Who pay your rent now
I know it ain’t me, I know ain’t him
Haven’t seen you in some months now
You never ask me where I’ve been
But I'ma ask again girl
Who pay your rent now
Used to be with Tee and Whitney
Heard you ain’t friends now
Used to whip a Mitsubishi
Heard you push a Benz now
Heard you cut your losses
Heard you doing press now
Heard that you got options
Every time you dress now
But I know when no ones watching
You still one to get dressed down
I mean
Look at where we came from
Look at where we are now...

[Hook]
Remember how I used to hold you
Remember that, that was the old you
Are we still the same ones
Is this still the same love
Are we still the same ones
Is this still the same love
Did the world change us…

[Verse 2: Ghost]
How you looking post op
Your old self a ghost now
Moving coast to coast now
Feeling like you lost out
These days lil mama stay fly call her Pegasus
Remember hanging out getting high for the hell of it
Just Me, You, Ikey and Sky we’d get hella lit
Those nights were kind to us the mornings were not as generous
Don’t know what got into you, you usually so hesitant
Fuck the night up we don’t live like pedestrians
Girl why you playing shit you know I’ve got predicates, damn
Believe me
Nothing bout this has been easy
We both had our reasons
When its time to assign the blame
We both playing defense
I could try to justify things
Never was one for the pretense
So I'ma let you do what you gotta do to get even

[Transition]

[Chorus]
Every time I come around
Once the loves lost it ain’t never found
Every time I come around
Once you get this high up
Know there ain’t no coming down

[Verse 3: Liiight]
They said open up, Is this open enough
I been dead for a minute, did you note it as such
Of course you didn’t, I’m infatuated
Purely sitting here wishing, that I could get the love I give
Hugs instead of warm tears, a soft voice to bless my ears
And can’t take that other girl back, did me dirt
Its still love, but I refuse to give you a crack at the bat
Might knock a n***a out the park this time
Gotta save myself, I learned nobody could do it for me
They said open up so these words is straight from me
I let the words talk, then I let the beat breathe
Outside the music I couldn’t do it I freeze up
I get stuck, like every word is meant for a pretty girl
In reality I’m being crushed by the world
I got some weight on my shoulders that would grind rocks out of some boulders
A young Atlas, dreaming of an at last home free
When you just wanna be nice, look up all you see is feet
Dormant doormat, to passive to fight back

[Chorus]
Every time I come around
Once the loves lost it ain’t never found
Every time I come around
Once you get this high up
Know there ain’t no coming down

[Verse 4: Liiight]
I guess I’ll deal with shit in my own way
On my own time, no loaned time
Been a long time since we spoke
Remember when I would choke you and fuck you
And after that we’d smoke, we would get high then I’d go low
We would blow smoke and then you’d blow
I introduced you to a life full of rope
I showed you that the world held hope, I taught you how to roll your dope
I told you not to fuck with coke, like damn, what did I make
Frankenstein’s maniac, down on the first date
Sliding through your home plate, like what the fuck is first base
Damn shawty, I remember when I hit the last party
You was booed up with the n***a who had a baby mami
I ain’t partied since
Good Lawd
