Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you got it
You say you know me, how you get it, how you got it
You say you 'bout it
You say you know me, how I get it out the projects
I shoot out the Holy Ghost
Hold on, I grab the toast
I feel like I overdosed
I shoot up like morphine
Hold on, I got more fiends
Pull up on that dopamine, huh
Say you got it
Had to get my dough right
Get it more right, pour that four right, all that, all that roll right
In the club with some bitches, wanna suck it all night
Wanna fuck it all night
Be Tupacin' with my niggas, we be thuggin' all night
All of this ice and it's all bright
I walk in the spot and need no lights
R.I.P. to Kimbo Slice
Shout out to Drake to get more life
'Member days, the kick door life
Keep a salad, fuck the poor life
'Stafa
I be feelin' like Mustafa, hey
My son is Simba niggas, call 'em finish hittas
I got getters get us
You say you got it
You say you know me, how you get it, how you got it
You say you 'bout it
You say you know me, how I get it out the projects
I shoot out the Holy ghost
Hold on, I grab the toast
I'm sippin' on codeine
I feel like I overdosed
I shoot up like morphine
Hold on, I got more fiends
Pull up on that dopamine, huh
Say you got it
You say you know me, how you get it, how you got it
You say you 'bout it
You say you know me, how I get it out the projects

I feel like I overdosed
I shoot up like morphine
Hold on, I got more fiends
Pull up on that dopamine, huh
Say you got it
Holy Ghost, Holy Ghost, Holy Ghost
Ride in the drop, that's that Holy Ghost
Holy shake, do the Holy Ghost
Holy shit 'cause I'm wholly rich
I'ma drive in the Lamb, watch 'em take a pic
I skrrt on that ass 'fore you take the flick
I'ma fuck on Rihanna
Put her all in designer
Diamonds last forever

We gon' blast together
I'm on top of the building ain't falling
Crash the weather

Feel light as a feather
Hey, this the real
Hey, this how you feel

The lyrics to Desiigner's song "Holy Ghost" are a mixture of braggadocio and drug-induced imagery. The chorus of the song has the artist saying that he is shooting out the Holy Ghost and grabbing his gun. He mentions sipping on codeine, overdosing on it, and shooting up like morphine. Desiigner further speaks about getting his dough right and partying with women all night. He mentions feeling rich, driving a Lamborghini, and being on top of the world. In the final lines of the song, he talks about getting money without any record label's help and how he is the real deal.
The primary theme of "Holy Ghost" appears to be Desiigner's journey from the projects to a life of luxury. He is saying that he has made it out of the ghetto, and now he can do what he wants. However, the song's drug imagery is a troubling aspect, as it glorifies drug use as a part of the rapper's success story. The lyrics suggest that Desiigner's success is due to drug use, which is an unhealthy and damaging message to listeners.
