Holy Ghost
Young Jeezy (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) Lyrics

Tell to myself, still on fire
Despite facing challenges, I am determined and motivated.

I'm under attack, but I'm still on fire
I am facing opposition, but I refuse to let it extinguish my passion.

I got some chatter, but I'm still on fire
Although there is gossip and rumors surrounding me, I remain focused and driven.

I got some threat, but I'm still on fire
There are those who wish to harm me, but their threats only make me more determined.

I got some liabilities, but I'm still on fire
Despite my faults and weaknesses, I am still motivated and striving.

If it's not amazing that I'm on fire
My determination and resilience should be admired and celebrated.

I've been to hell and back, but I'm still on fire
I have faced great adversity, but I have not let it defeat me or extinguish my passion.

What's in the back of my mind, sittin' in the back of that thang
There are thoughts and concerns weighing on me as I ride in my car.

With the two double R sittin' in the back of my brain
I am thinking about my Rolls-Royce cars that I have acquired.

Anywhere but here, that's what I told my chauffeur
I want to leave my current surroundings and go somewhere else.

And this shit gettin' heavy, weight of the world on my shoulders

People may feel like they are in control or successful, but external forces can still affect them.

I started hustlin' for draws and now there's plaques on the walls
I began selling drugs, but now I have achieved success and have awards to prove it.

Think I'm sellin' my soul? Then you can come get 'em all
If anyone believes I have compromised my values for success, they are welcome to take away all my accomplishments.

Trade 'em all for my dawgs, yea, I'm talkin' to you

Where did we go wrong? Because I don't have a clue

But it's real consequences nigga remember the rules
