Ghosts
N.A.D. Niù Abdominaux Dangereu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wide Awake
Tryna not come down from this high
I been innocent my whole life
Now I let these ghosts
I let my ghosts
Run
Running away from my problems and I done spent a lot of time with a bottle
And I'm feeling hostile sometimes when I'm heated and I worked so hard but I still Fuckin' need it
I just needa sip or a line I'm defeated
I just need more time to sit back and just heal
I'm fighting addiction yeah I'm tryna beat it and all of these bitches keep talking and eat It up
They love it when I'm still failing they plead for it
Still fuckin' haunted from grandfather leaving us
He taught me what difference angels and demons was
Mad that he died on me
I really needed him
I shouldn't dwell but it's harder than ever
Whenever I think of him I feel the pressure
I felt when he passed but I'll love him forever
Just gotta stay calm so I'm watching my temper
Wide Awake
Tryna not come down from this high
I been innocent my whole life
Now I let these ghosts
I let my ghosts
Run
If it wasn't for music woulda died a long time ago
Trust me
If anybody knows about it I would know
I woulda died alone and I'm not saying at all that I condone suicide
You and I both got through hard times
I reflect what I'm saying going through my rhymes like a mirror
Getting nearer to the end every year but I use it as a gear to propel myself
Straight through my fears straight to your ears
All the pain I endured
I could pool my tears
I'm a fool I hear
But it doesn't even matter cause I'm fighting to the death
If you know who I am you know all the bloodshed and I won't rest or ride into sunset
Till I make it in this medium
I see the other artists
Let em know that I believe in em
I'm staring at the devil
I won't stop till I defeated him
Wide Awake
Tryna not come down from this high
I been innocent my whole life
Now I let these ghosts
I let my ghosts
Run
Y-you almost died
Yeah, definitely
How close do you think you were to dying?
They said two hours
If I would've got to the hospital two hours later that would've been it
Cause my organs, everything
My kidneys, everything were failing
Everything was shutting down
Wide Awake
Tryna not come down from this high
I been innocent my whole life
Now I let these ghosts




I let my ghosts
Run

If I had waited any longer to seek medical attention, I probably would not have survived


Cause my organs, everything
My body was shutting down and my organs were failing


My kidneys, everything were failing
Even my kidneys were failing, which is a dangerous and life-threatening condition
