Ghost
D Lyrics

You know sometimes
Life can be difficult at times

Life just got you on a hold
Feeling stuck in a situation

And you feel like
Emphasizing the feeling of being stuck

You can't get off
Unable to move on from the situation

Off the situation you're in
Continuing to emphasize being stuck in a situation

I just want you to know
Offering support to the listener

That you're not alone
Assuring the listener that others have gone through similar situations

People have either been through it
Emphasizing that many people can relate

Are going through it
Acknowledging that some people are currently experiencing it

Or will go through it
Recognizing that some may not have experienced it yet, but will in the future

So this one's for you
Dedicating the song to the listener

I've been up since like 2am
Struggling with insomnia

Staring at the ceiling like what's the plan
Reflecting on life and what the future holds

Goddamn thought that you the man
Feeling confident in oneself, yet still uncertain about the future

Need to get a drink shit it's 5am
Suggesting using alcohol to cope with stress and anxiety

Gotta get ready for Dustbane
Preparing for an upcoming commitment

Else my black ass ain't getting paid
Emphasizing the importance of financial stability

So much pain in all types of way
Experiencing emotional pain

God makes a way man I think he waved uhh
Finding comfort in faith and spirituality

They say God's time be the best time
Believing that things happen for a reason and that God's timing is perfect

All I think of is to get mines
Focusing on personal success and gains

I got fifty for the set time
Anticipating payment for a gig or performance

If not I'm gon have to step down
Acknowledging the possibility of failure and loss of opportunity

This is for the people who do wish me well
Dedicating the song to those who support and uplift the artist

Tell me on my way to heaven do I have to go through hell
Questioning the hardships and challenges faced in life before reaching ultimate peace

My girl gives me it's not you it's me speech
Experiencing rejection and disappointment in a relationship

But that's like after two or three weeks
Recognizing the short-lived nature of some romantic relationships

On a phone I could barely reach
Feeling disconnected from others

They couldn't wait for me to get back straight back on my feet
Feeling pressure to quickly recover and improve circumstances

Now RIP to everybody yeah who doubted me
Acknowledging the negativity and doubt from others

Sometimes I pray and read my Bible I'm still on my knees
Seeking comfort and guidance through faith

Cos something deep down knows that man I just gotta believe
Having hope and faith in oneself and the future

My life's the whole package this is just a segment
Recognizing the bigger picture and that this is only a small part of life

But the blessings on a camel if its been sent through like shipment
Believing that blessings sometimes come in unexpected ways or at unexpected times

Look through my own bank account
Checking personal finances

That shit just couldn't even make a sound
Not having much money

In my heart that thing weighed heavy like it was 150 billion pounds
Feeling burdened by financial stress and anxiety

In this tough season I feel like there's nobody around
Feeling alone in difficult times

And in the Christmas season I'm hoping that some merry go round
Anticipating joy and positivity during the holiday season

Cos life be like a rollercoaster
Comparing life to a rollercoaster with ups and downs

Like some Xbox one with no controller
Feeling out of control in one's own life

Classwork with no do-overs
Feeling unable to redo or fix mistakes

You hit the post and it's over
Suggesting that one small mistake can have big consequences

Nowadays I barely think straight
Feeling overwhelmed and confused

Even when I am sober
Not relying on substances to cope with emotions, but still struggling mentally

Tryna keep my mind at ease but man I feel like a lost soldier
Attempting to find peace and calmness, but still feeling lost and uncertain

I see death seeming friendly and my life be like the nemesis
Feeling the constant threat of death or hardship

How did I get here I want a do-over genesis
Wishing to start over and make different choices

So fear don't judge me like the Pharisees I lay some emphasis on shit that should be real can't you see
Asking for empathy and understanding, and emphasizing the importance of honesty and authenticity

Love care affection hope believe redemption
Listing positive attributes and emotions that should be prioritized

More love if I failed to mention
Emphasizing the importance of love in all aspects of life

Love is all see y'all pay attention
Encouraging listeners to prioritize love over other things in life

East west so much tension
Noting the tension and conflict in the world

Love over all aggression
Advocating for peaceful and loving solutions

But even I fail in this spectrum
Acknowledging the imperfections and difficulties in living up to these values

Because I
Introducing the chorus

I don't wan be Ghost
Not wanting to be forgotten or left behind

Nananana eh
Non-lyrical part of the chorus

I don't wan be Ghost no
Continuing to emphasize not wanting to be forgotten or left behind

Nananana yeah
Non-lyrical part of the chorus

I don't wan be
Repeating the chorus to emphasize the message
