Got me on some devil shit
My eyes are bloodshot red
I'm hearing voices in my fucking head
Tanqueray up in my system
Got me on some devil shit
My eyes are bloodshot red
I'm hearing voices in my fucking head
Back up in the motherfucking cut
Young Ghoste OT, with them all gold teeth
Talk a lot of shit but
You're sucking my dick, lowkey
Straight bumping my tape til you sleep
All I really do is meditate till
I make it to the plane
Solo, stay away from me
I don't need a motherfucker tellin'
Me shit bout shit been alone since seventeen
Tell me to get out the shit I
Be spitting that's been done before
I don't see competition so
I keep on depicting they cuppin' they nuts
Big buck teeth like a young King Tut
Schema the posse
I put it on my stone in a cemetery
Whether you bury me or scatter
My ashes, you a punk, bitch
If you ain't down with the K-R double
E-P like all of the masses, hoe
Pussy boy don't want beef
Pussy boy, pussy boy don't want war
Pussy boy, pussy boy ain't bout shit
But that pussy boy always gon'
Ask you for more
Pussy boy, pussy boy don't know me
Pussy boy, pussy boy don't know Ghoste, oh
I'm scheming your hoe, I'm deep in her throat
You wifing that bitch well I piped her for
Show and I pull up on stunt
Smoking on some, come on the nun
Lace my blow with a bump then
I stare at the sun
Loaded my gun, my mind feeling numb
Think my time it has come
I inspire it my use
Sick and tired of the truth
Left my soul separated, required a proof
Reincarnate the curse, I'm shackled to dust
The product of sin, ain't no God I can trust
(Bitch)
Tanqueray up in my system
Got me on some devil shit
My eyes are bloodshot red
I'm hearing voices in my fucking head
Tanqueray up in my system
Got me on some devil shit
My eyes are bloodshot red
I'm hearing voices in my fucking head
In the first verse, GhosteMane is under the influence of Tanqueray, an alcoholic drink. The effect of the drink on his system has put him on some devilish behavior. He is hearing voices in his head, and his eyes are bloodshot red, possibly from the excessive alcohol consumption. He repeats the lines, emphasizing the state he is in because of the drink.
In the second verse, GhosteMane brags about his skills while also dismissing his naysayers. He refers to himself as Young Ghoste OT, and he has all gold teeth. He claims that people listen to his music until they fall asleep. He's been working hard and meditating till he boards the plane, and he doesn't need anyone to tell him anything. He's been alone since seventeen, and he doesn't see any competition. He doesn't need anyone to tell him to get out because he's been saying things that others have done before. He says that people who criticize him are holding their nuts, and he doesn't see them as a threat.
The third verse of the song portrays GhosteMane's aggressive and violent behavior. He calls out people who pretend they want to challenge him but are scared and don't want any trouble. He asserts that he is scheming their women and has slept with one of the men's partners. GhosteMane adds that he is always high on drugs and loaded with a gun that he is not afraid of using. He also mentions how he feels that his time has come and is tired of the truth. At the end of the verse, he seems to have lost faith in God and feels cursed and shackled to dust.
