I'm A Ghost (Explicit) - Hilltop Hoods Written by :Barry Franc Two sheets to the wind in a taxi Two feet to the wind in the backseat Two beeps to the car in front of us And one of us ending up wrapped around the chassis Think about these rhymes and what they gave me Sounds like it's wild but a microphone and two turntables saved me Took me around the world and bought me a home I've seen all these other crews beg too Not knowing all the ways people helped them Might not ever get a damn 'thank you' But they're sure enough gonna get 'you're welcome' Matter of fact I ain't leaving I was here first and I don't believe them I was here bursting listening to premo with gino and thirsting And missing out on being there for people in person Cause we don't sleep when we're working We don't bleed when we're hurting We wear our heart on our sleeve and I'm certain That we'll feel the burden 'til we call the curtains You feel me Do you feel me The sky lights on the court like blind man his forces Writing on the wall light it up on the porch It's 19945mics in the source There's a mighty mighty roar from the crowd and of course It's this Do you feel me I've gone though the coach and the liners To being known for the shows and the fires Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day goes less than it's fibers You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone Two sheets on a surface of water Loose leaf running worthless and torn up If I could do these words justice You'd see how much it's worth it I fought for every kid that never got one mention Every little bit of love or affection I'm done with pretending the sun is descending And all good things must come to an end Close sun swallow the day this is Nothing more than affording to take the bills And I walk away with nothing And let me tell you something That's f**king more than I came in with You feel me Do you feel me And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grateful For my life for my friends and for the faithful It's been a ride but there's been a few times That I thought I'd lose sight when the effort was too painful But rap gave me such inspired dream That maybe touched my life but things Got a little crazy and nobody would play me The ends that plainly justify the means At last I can see you evolve and die It's hard to believe that all this time That I wore my heart on my sleeve For this art on the scene It's gonna be hard when I leave it all behind You feel me Do you feel me Went from going through the coach and the liners To being known for the shows and the fires Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day goes less than its fibers You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone Went from going through the coach and the liners To being known for the shows and the fires Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day goes less than its fibers You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone Low winter sun light the dawn it goes I'm a ghost I'm gone Though when it's done night is on us all I'm a ghost I'm gone Nowhere to run writing's on the wall I'm a ghost I'm gone So when it come rise before we fall I'm a ghost I'm gone Low winter sun light the dawn it go I'm a ghost I'm gone Broke in and done dying on us all I'm a ghost I'm gone There's nowhere to run writing's on the wall I'm a ghost I'm gone So when it comes rise rise before we fall Went from going through the coach and the liners To being known for the shows and the fires Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom To cool down my face with some ice from the rider Looking out to a crowd full of lighters And the day goes less than its fibers You see me walking now I'm a ghost

the car in front of us [00:22.780]And one of us ending up wrapped around the chassis [00:25.251]Think about these rhymes and what they gave me [00:27.536]Sounds like it's wild but a microphone and two turntables saved me [00:30.998]Took me around the world and bought me a home [00:33.256]I've seen all these other crews beg too [00:35.332]Not knowing all the ways people helped them [00:37.325]Might not ever get a damn 'thank you' [00:39.452]But they're sure enough gonna get 'you're welcome' [00:41.460]Matter of fact I ain't leaving [00:43.35]I was here first and I don't believe them [00:45.113]I was here bursting listening to premo with gino and thirsting [00:47.978]And missing out on being there for people in person [00:50.98]Cause we don't sleep when we're working [00:51.656]We don't bleed when we're hurting [00:53.192]We wear our heart on our sleeve and I'm certain [00:55.282]That we'll feel the burden 'til we call the curtains [00:57.163]You feel me [01:01.349]Do you feel me [01:05.320]The sky lights on the court like blind man his forces [01:08.140]Writing on the wall light it up on the porch [01:10.90]It's 19945mics in the source [01:12.22]There's a mighty mighty roar from the crowd and of course [01:14.269]It's this [01:21.272]Do you feel me [01:23.49]I've gone though the coach and the liners [01:24.779]To being known for the shows and the fires [01:26.881]Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom [01:28.682]To cool down my face with some ice from the rider [01:31.15]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters [01:33.119]And the day goes less than it's fibers [01:35.96]You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone [01:39.466]Two sheets on a surface of water [01:41.436]Loose leaf running worthless and torn up [01:43.442]If I could do these words justice [01:45.240]You'd see how much it's worth it [01:46.710]I fought for every kid that never got one mention [01:49.716]Every little bit of love or affection [01:51.674]I'm done with pretending the sun is descending [01:53.644]And all good things must come to an end [01:55.918]Close sun swallow the day this is [01:57.929]Nothing more than affording to take the bills [02:00.153]And I walk away with nothing [02:01.245]And let me tell you something [02:02.307]That's f**king more than I came in with [02:04.297]You feel me [02:08.305]Do you feel me [02:12.10]And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't grateful [02:14.223]For my life for my friends and for the faithful [02:16.303]It's been a ride but there's been a few times [02:18.256]That I thought I'd lose sight when the effort was too painful [02:20.667]But rap gave me such inspired dream [02:22.563]That maybe touched my life but things [02:24.532]Got a little crazy and nobody would play me [02:26.588]The ends that plainly justify the means [02:28.609]At last I can see you evolve and die [02:30.891]It's hard to believe that all this time [02:32.906]That I wore my heart on my sleeve [02:34.77]For this art on the scene [02:35.63]It's gonna be hard when I leave it all behind [02:37.451]You feel me [02:41.211]Do you feel me [02:45.499]Went from going through the coach and the liners [02:47.251]To being known for the shows and the fires [02:49.366]Playing packed rooms heading to the backroom [02:51.308]To cool down my face with some ice from the rider [02:53.454]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters [02:55.524]And the day goes less than its fibers [02:57.781]You see me walking now I'm a ghost I'm gone [03:01.761]Went from going through the coach and the liners [03:03.820]To being known for the shows and the fires
