The Black God
SpaceGhostPurrp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got the Christmas tree and
You gotta have the presents to make your family happy right?
So before you pull that trigger young man
Don't do it my nigga
You gotta be the god of black powers
Who be the God of Black?
That's me, SGP, mystical
Magic colors my brother's on MTV
The black is the power of the soul
Protected by the code, X times X the G Code
And god mo as I try to expose the robotic hype
Beast up in those same clothes
Black toes, she looking too trill with the pretty feet
Chillin like a villain looking pretty in the Caddy seat
Damn! Inspired by the black diamond supervision
X-files shooting star shine
Real mansion with 35 goddesses
Please tell me who the hottest is
Apocalypse eclipse put the world to fate
And I guess it's contagious, throughout the whole way
I say my mind on the secret master plan
The black hand grail with the cash in my hand
The Black God, I got to have the world in my hands
I'm a God, I'm no longer a black man
The Black God.
Another day, another dollar
Looking at all these people man
This society made by robots, why? this is a society
Who know they wanna get this money
So they turn us into hamsters
Got them on this everyday cycle
Living like programmed machines
To wake up at certain times
And go to bed at certain times
Making people live the way they want them to live
So they can get a simple paycheck and work shitty hours
This the reason why I do this
So I can make sure my family don't have to do that




And we can have independent businesses
Ain't no jobs out here anyway.

legit birthed asap mob and the whole south florida/sound cloud rap scene right now

@diempardon4259

And 36Mafia & DJ Screw birthed him. Where’s their credit?

@axisv99

Jackson Angel don't be that guy who looks for any explanation and acknowledge spaceghostpurrp

@diempardon4259

"Jackson Angel don't be that guy who looks for any explanation and acknowledge spaceghostpurrp"

Dont credit the artists who actually birthed this style and genre in history, but rather give credit to the first person of notoriety who copied? Do you hear yourself? You are discrediting Rocky for a style you believe purp created and simultaneously asking me not to discredit Purp for doing the same to the originators. I hate new heads. Niether of them created this style, homage is up for grabs by any artists. Foh.

@lilsonno12345

Jackson Angel but thing is spaceghostpurrp gave props to 36mafia and ugk and no limit but no one wants to give spaceghost credit for the impact and lofi genius and one of the biggest rap groups in recent rap history.

@diempardon4259

"but no one wants to give spaceghost credit for the impact and lofi genius and one of the biggest rap groups in recent rap history."

Lmao stop it, I like Purp but yall hype him up so much because his music doesnt speak for itself. Asap always shouted out the originators and introduced Purp at damn near every show as well as having the man all in the videos before they fell out. You and every other person hyping this beef dont even know why they are beefing...or him rather.

Out here fighting over sounds and clothes niether of them created and niggas out here real life dying the streets foh.
