Ghostface Killah is critically acclaimed for his loud, fast-paced flow, and his stream-of-consciousness narratives containing cryptic slang and non-sequiturs.
Ghostface Killah was raised in the Stapleton housing projects in Staten Island, New York. In his autobiographical song "All That I Got Is You", Ghost tells the story of his childhood. He raps about how he grew up in a three bedroom apartment without his father, who left him at the age of six. Apparently, his mother had nine children.
His stage name was taken from one of the characters in the 1979 kung fu film Mystery of Chessboxing.
He was also a close friend of the three founding members of Wu-tang clan

Wu-Tang Clan and Iron Man
Lead us to the promised land
And we will build upon this land
Until we free all black man
Iron man
Lead us to the promised land
Teach us how to raise our fam
Living out Allah's God plan
Wu-Tang Clan (Wu-Tang Clan)
Wu-Tang Clan and Iron Man (Wu-Tang Clan and Iron Man, they were wise)
Lead us to the promised land (they will lead us, they will lead to the promised land)
And we will build upon this land (and we will fight, and we will build, we will build upon this land)
Until we free all black man (and we will free the black man, and free the world over the family)
Iron man (and we will build, and we will teach of the word of Allah)
Lead us to the promised land (and Allah is ONE, Allah is one, and we will teach)
Teach us how to raise our fam (and prove Allah is one and his word shall spread throughout the universe)
Through love and economic plans (and he shall strike down with a mighty force)
Living out Allah's God plan (and dispose these devils to the pits of hell)
Congratulations Iron Man, the entire free world is proud of you
And you'll be happy to know there is hope (your honor!)
Iron Man has won his battle
Tony Stark makes you feel
He's a cool exec with a heart o'steel
As Iron Man, all jets ablaze
He's fightin' and smitin' with repulsor rays!
Amazin' armor! (That's Iron Man!)
A blazin' power! (That's Iron Man!)
