Welcome to the brain of a suicidal maniac

Take notes 'til ya overdose
Smoke drink fuck 'til I'm hanging from a rope
Shit that you bump when you
Thinkin bout a homicide

Get away with homicide

GhosteMane introduces himself as a broke artist from the East coast, suggesting that his struggles and experiences are genuine and not to be taken lightly.

Welcome to the brain of a suicidal maniac
Enter the mind of a person with suicidal tendencies
Schema posse in this hoe
A group of individuals with a unique mindset is present
Take notes 'til ya overdose
Learn from us until you reach your limit
Smoke drink fuck 'til I'm hanging from a rope
Engage in self-destructive behaviors until I reach the point of no return
Shit that you bump when you
Music that you listen to when you
Thinkin bout a homicide
Contemplating committing murder
Shit that you bump when you
Music that you listen to when you
Get away with homicide
Successfully avoid consequences for committing murder
Bringin that future funk and now I
Introducing a new and innovative style of music, and now I
Take you to another time
Transport you to a different era
Sit back relax blow a O out and vibe
Just relax, light up and enjoy the experience
Yea I seen a whole lotta bitches
Yes, I have encountered many deceitful individuals
Them bitches be talkin' shit
Those individuals constantly gossip and spread rumors
Now they postin' my pics and they
Now they are sharing my pictures and they
Want my dick in em flip
Expressing their desire to engage in sexual activities with me
The script and I never pick up the phone
I stick to my own path and rarely communicate with others
Now why you think I'm called Ghoste
Now you can understand why I am called Ghoste
Nowhere to be found unless you a schema woe
I am inaccessible unless you are part of my select group
And I do not be fuckin with
And I do not associate with
Mothafuckas that got no hustle
Individuals who lack ambition
No money but you be rappin'
You claim to be a rapper despite having no financial stability
All about the bustle
All about the hustle
I bet you take a nut to the
I bet you accept any opportunity that comes your way
Face if it get you the fame
If it brings you fame and recognition
I'm runnin that underground shit bitch
I am in control of the underground music scene, bitch
We ain't the same
We are not alike
