[Ghostface]
Yeah you are now listening to the sounds of Ghost Radio
777 FM, we in God dimension
Sponsored by Stark Enterprise
Shout out to everybody on Staten Island
Don't touch that dial

Hey yo, hey yo, my name's on your roster kid, I mean business
Big elevators mean big businesses
Sleeves rolled up around five, I, loosen my tie
Rough day though the stock was high
Plus I'm hungry, move like the boss of the joint
I know it don't mean nothing cause I brought the joint
But still, realer hits, card dealin' shits
Bass lips, murder topics, niggas ain't shit
So what, I had a rough day?
That's right, and if y'all don't like it
Then motherfuck, y'all is Ghost in the house!
Make noise if it's C.R.E.A.M. in the house!
Aww shit now, fly coffee tables, haircuts dust
Money this long, you wish you could roll with us
Supersoak us, your bitch chose us
Be sure to stay away from friends you can't trust

[Tekitha (Ghostface)]
It's been so long
(Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh)
Since he had a true friend
(That's right, that's right)
True friends are sure hard to come by
(Uh-huh)
But then again
His loyalties lie within
Always kept his head to the sky
And they can't see, no n-n-no-no
(Check it..I want all y'all, remember this? Yo, c'mon, see'mon)
They can't see him walking through the darkness, no-n-n-no-no
Yo, uh-huh, yeah,
They can't see him walking through the darkness

[Ghostface]
Yo, yo, yo, the new President America
Flash money, act funny
Party, ride the bubbly
Goons and thugs, double hennessey
One shot to the nose, double energy
I don wallabies, fucking remember me
Guess who's back? The W embassy!
Even in the dark we electricity, rap celebrities for the longevity
Staten and Manhattan, that's all liberty
B.E.T, MTV always big on me
That I rock coliseums, cop a drop BM
Drunk throw his dick out on stage, I gotta see 'I'm
[Then he sung:]
Ha! Let's get drunk! Ha!
Let's get drunk and high yeah!

[Ghostface (Tekitha)]
Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, throw your hands in the air, throw your hands in the air

New York in the house, make some noise!

Overall Meaning

Walking Through The Darkness by Ghostface Killah is a song about the struggles of an individual as they navigate through life. The lyrics describe the daily grind of a businessman who is both hungry and tired after a long day of work. Despite having had a good day at the stock market, the singer is still frustrated with life and the people around him. He emphasizes that he's the boss and moves like one, but still feels like he's nothing but a card dealer who deals with shit.


Tekitha's chorus emphasizes the fact that it's been difficult for the singer to find true friends. The singer is walking through the darkness, but no one seems to be able to see him, and he's forced to navigate through the darkness alone. The verse then transitions to the singer as the President of America, living a flashy life full of parties, drugs, and alcohol. However, even with all the fame and wealth, the singer feels like he's walking through the darkness alone.


Overall, the song is about the struggles of rising to the top and the loneliness that comes with it as you leave behind those who were once close to you.
