Haunted
A. G. Cook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some n***** getting paid
Some n***** wearing J's
Some n***** wearing fades
Some n***** toting K's
Some body getting sprayed
I just get my money
And stay out the fucking way
But be softer than a dildo
I might be a dick
But at least I keep it real tho
I keep me a stick
I ain't even in the field bro
No killer but you push me
And that might just get you killed bro
I ain't no thief but I keep that steel bro
Hit ya like did I do that
Know you Winslow
Cop ass n****
I clutch mad triggers
For tough ass n*****
I'll bust that n****
Metro don't trust that
Where ya bus pass n****
And never keep the work where you sleep
It's ironic n***** break into ya house
For the keys
If it were me
I'd make feel them n***** feel the summer breeze
Change the season and
Watch the bodies fall around me
What you mean
I'll kill all them and leave
Ain't that about a b****
Like Laura and Steve
Family the only thing that matters to me
Mess with that
And
I'll leave you splattered deceased
My pockets are haunted
I got them dead guys in em
Something is fishy
I'm talking long john silver
This not EA I play no games with
My pistol on replay
It just bang bang n****
Is you getting a bag
Or chasing a bag
P diddy I'm making the bands
I'll put my foot in they ass
Before I kiss me an ass
F*** u pay me in cash
I put that in the stash
Then I get back to the bag
Some n***** making plays
Some n***** getting paid
Some n***** wearing J's
Some n***** wearing fades
Some n***** toting K's
Some body getting sprayed
I just get my money
And stay out the fucking way
Counting money till I sleep
I just wanna Rest In Peace
Bankroll
Law low
N***** want my power
So I stay ghost
You catch that
Where the rest at
I don't cash checks
Prepare the table
Ima bless that
Lord thank you
For preparing this table
In front of my enemies
When my brothers get out
Hope they stay out the streets for good
Find a Megan good
And give her decent wood
Instead of wishing a n**** would
But if a n**** do
And you gotta do it
Don't leave a witness
It'll be hard to prove it
No paper trail I'm trailing paper
Paper chasing I'm getting to it
My pockets are haunted
I got dead guys in em
Something is fishy
I'm talking long john silver
This not EA I play no games with
My pistol on replay it just bang bang n****

Change the season and
To create a dangerous situation for others
Watch the bodies fall around me
To cause death and destruction

What do you mean?
I'll kill all them and leave
I will murder them and escape
Ain't that about a b****
Isn't that despicable?
Like Laura and Steve
Similar to the characters from the TV show Family Matters
Family the only thing that matters to me
Family is the most important thing in my life
Mess with that
Screw around with my family
And
I'll leave you splattered deceased
I will kill you and make a mess of your body
My pockets are haunted

Something is fishy
Something is suspicious
I'm talking long john silver
I'm referring to Long John Silver's restaurant
This not EA I play no games with
This is not a video game and I am serious
My pistol on replay
I frequently use my firearm
It just bang bang n****
It's just a rapid-fire weapon
Is you getting a bag
Are you earning money?
Or chasing a bag
Or actively pursuing money?
P diddy I'm making the bands

I'll put my foot in they ass
I will physically assault them
Before I kiss me an ass
Before I do something distasteful
F*** u pay me in cash
Pay me in cash immediately
I put that in the stash
I store the cash somewhere safe
Then I get back to the bag
Then I focus on making more money
Counting money till I sleep

I just wanna Rest In Peace
I just want to live comfortably
Bankroll
I have a lot of cash
Law low
I keep a low profile
N***** want my power
People want what I have
So I stay ghost
So I keep quiet and out of sight
You catch that
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Where the rest at
Where are the other items I am looking for?
I don't cash checks
I don't rely on traditional banking methods
Prepare the table
Set up the means to make more money
Ima bless that
I will do well in that situation
Lord thank you
Giving thanks to a higher power
For preparing this table
For giving me these opportunities
In front of my enemies
In the presence of those who wish me harm
When my brothers get out
When my friends are released from jail
Hope they stay out the streets for good
Hope they avoid getting involved in criminal activities
Find a Megan good
Find a beautiful and talented woman
And give her decent wood
And provide her with a good sexual experience
Instead of wishing a n**** would
Instead of wishing for a violent or negative situation to occur
But if a n**** do
But if someone does try to cause trouble
And you gotta do it
And if you have to retaliate
Don't leave a witness
Do not let anyone see what you do
It'll be hard to prove it
It will be difficult for authorities to identify you as the culprit
No paper trail I'm trailing paper
I avoid leaving behind evidence while actively acquiring money
Paper chasing I'm getting to it
I am focused on acquiring money

@rhainbowrhailien
This song is the absolute best of the Apple album. It is beautiful and soul crushing. The brightest light at the end of the darkest tunnel. Realizing that your suffering will never truly leave you, learning to accept it and using it as a tool for strength. I am thoroughly impressed at how well you conveyed my emotions through 1 song, even being less than 3 minutes long. Depression from years of torment can be unkind. If you are feeling this way, too, the solace in these trying times is the comfort of unity. Knowing that you are blameless is already half of the battle. Even if you feel unloved, you are worthy. Whether it be parents, siblings, friends or partners that failed you, they do not get to write the last chapter in our stories.
