Patrick Lanshaw, or Lil Wyte, is a member of the Memphis, Tennessee rap collective Hypnotize Camp Posse. Lil Wyte began his career with the all-white underground rap group Shelby Forest Clique. His first album Doubt Me Now, produced by DJ Paul & Juicy J of Three 6 Mafia, sold over 130,000 copies independently. The success from this album sparked interest with Warner Music Group which would result in a distribution deal for the Hypnotize Minds label and his second album, Phinally Phamous.
His first album had an underground hit, especially popular with the drug sub-culture, for the song about abusing prescription pills, "Oxy Cotton". So far, both of his albums have carried on a rap tradition of having a Smokin' Song (a song detailing smoking marijuana) included on them. His first release actually had a song titled "My Smokin' Song" on it. He expanded on this theme with his second album having a song named "My Drinking Song".

Yessir
Got my dog Lil Wyte in the house
Lil Wyte!
You dig it? Then dig this shit
He gon tell you how we do it in Memphis city streets
Fraiyser Bay Area
Ghost ride a lil bit out there
[Chorus 2x]
I Ghost ride the whip
Always syrup sip
Ridin through the hood with a real bad bitch
Car changin colors ridin high and gotta piss
26s flickin so you know that I'm the shit
[Verse 1]
I ghost ride the whip
I jump out the car and flick
Its easier to do it with Lamborghini doors on ya shit
TV screens? Nope, but an over $50000 studio
What was I thinkin? I only paid $700 fo it
Make a track in the back while I crack another seal
Show no slack with that yak pass the blunt and give me pills
Its 2 pints of syrup in the mini fridge sittin on chill
And a sprite and ice dispencer right beside the steering wheel
I drank that drank and smoke that dank with a real bad bitch
Bendin through the hood to be exact we on 26
Inches sittin high
Haters sick when I ride by
That's why I keep a cannon in my lap in case they wanna try
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I'm screwed up like a motherfucker!
My minds sittin on easy street
Ghost ridin the whip sittin high rollin up the greenery
Tell me can you stop the colors from flippin on the scenery
Bangin so hard you feelin me way before you even seein me
I got that thang cocked its stashed but not far out of reach from me
Get wrong and ill put some knots on yo door like a peaches seed
Then run home to yo momma and holla Lil Wyte been bein mean to me
But I'm gone motherfucker I had to mash out there's plenty more streets to creep
The Bay Area and bitch we keep big stacks of that stinkery
I sip syrup motherfucker and don't really care what you think of me
A bad blonde broad beamin up my charm and my pinky ring
She's wearin a skirt and through the rear view mirror I can see her thingy thing
[Chorus]
The song "Ghostin'" by Lil Wyte narrates his life in Memphis and how he ghost rides his car, sips syrup, and rides with bad bitches. The chorus repeats twice, and in it, he boasts of his ghost riding skills and his lifestyle. The term "ghost-riding the whip" means jumping out of a moving car and dancing beside it while the vehicle is still in motion. Lil Wyte emphasizes that he can do it efficiently, especially when his car has "Lamborghini doors." He also talks about his experience of drinking "drank," which is a mixture of codeine cough syrup, soda, and Jolly Rancher candy, alongside smoking marijuana with his friends.
Lil Wyte goes ahead to explain that his car's interior has a studio with equipment worth over $50,000. He reveals how he made a track in the back of his car while cracking another seal. He also mentions having two pints of "syrup," which he stores in his mini-fridge. However, the craziest part is having a "ice dispenser right beside the steering wheel." Lil Wyte admits to keeping a gun in his lap as a precautionary measure in case of any danger. He continues to narrate his passion for rap music and how he enjoys sipping syrup while riding through the streets of Memphis with a bad bitch.

[Chorus 2x]
Repeat the following lines twice
I Ghost ride the whip
I let my unoccupied car roll down the street while dancing beside it
Always syrup sip
I constantly drink cough syrup to get high
Ridin through the hood with a real bad bitch
I drive through the neighborhood with an attractive woman by my side
Car changin colors ridin high and gotta piss
My colorful car, riding on big wheels, makes me feel important, but I need to pee
26s flickin so you know that I'm the shit

[Verse 1]
Here begins the first verse
I ghost ride the whip
I let my unoccupied car roll down the street while dancing beside it (repeated from chorus)
I jump out the car and flick
I exit the car and point at it while it rolls without me
Its easier to do it with Lamborghini doors on ya shit
Car doors that open vertically make ghost riding easier
TV screens? Nope, but an over $50000 studio
I don't have TV screens in my car, but I spend a lot of money on my music studio
What was I thinkin? I only paid $700 fo it
I regret overpaying for a low-quality studio
Make a track in the back while I crack another seal
I create music in my studio while drinking more cough syrup
Show no slack with that yak pass the blunt and give me pills
Don't hesitate to give me more drugs to get high
Its 2 pints of syrup in the mini fridge sittin on chill
I keep two bottles of cough syrup in the small fridge, cooled and ready to drink
And a sprite and ice dispencer right beside the steering wheel
I also have a dispenser for soda and ice near the driver's seat
I drank that drank and smoke that dank with a real bad bitch
I drank the syrup and smoked marijuana with the aforementioned attractive woman by my side
Bendin through the hood to be exact we on 26
We're driving slowly around the neighborhood on big wheels
Inches sittin high
The big wheels make the car ride high above the ground
Haters sick when I ride by
My rivals and detractors feel angry and jealous when they see me passing by
That's why I keep a cannon in my lap in case they wanna try
To defend myself against potential attacks, I carry a firearm with me
[Chorus]
Repeat the chorus
[Verse 2]
Here begins the second verse
I'm screwed up like a motherfucker!
I'm very intoxicated and high on drugs
My minds sittin on easy street
I have no worries or responsibilities right now
Ghost ridin the whip sittin high rollin up the greenery
I'm ghost riding my car after smoking marijuana
Tell me can you stop the colors from flippin on the scenery
The colorful car wheels look amazing while spinning, and I want to keep them doing so
Bangin so hard you feelin me way before you even seein me
My music is so loud that people can hear it from a distance
I got that thang cocked its stashed but not far out of reach from me
I'm carrying a loaded gun near me, but it's hidden and easy to access if necessary
Get wrong and ill put some knots on yo door like a peaches seed
If someone messes with me, I'll violently impact their car doors like hitting a peach pit with a hammer
Then run home to yo momma and holla Lil Wyte been bein mean to me
The person I've hurt will run to their mother and say I've been treating them cruelly
But I'm gone motherfucker I had to mash out there's plenty more streets to creep
I'm quickly disappearing because I have other places to go and be unnoticed
The Bay Area and bitch we keep big stacks of that stinkery
In the Bay Area, we have a lot of money and marijuana
I sip syrup motherfucker and don't really care what you think of me
I drink cough syrup and don't care about criticism or judgement
A bad blonde broad beamin up my charm and my pinky ring
I'm with an attractive blonde woman admiring my charming personality and my pinky ring
She's wearin a skirt and through the rear view mirror I can see her thingy thing
The woman is wearing a skirt, and I can see her private parts reflected in the rearview mirror
[Chorus]
Repeat the chorus
