GG x THE CHEMIST by Grey Ghost Lyrics
[Intro: Grey Ghost]
*Clears throat*
[Verse 1: Grey Ghost]
My little brother, we came from the same mother
We got a different father but we’ve always had each other
And the father hasn’t much been around, but I don’t ever wanna
See it get you down, I hope you’re relieved of it now, ‘cause you
A man on your own, you stand on your own two
Always facin’ off to what life demands that you go through
So many things that you gonna see, honestly
This life is a journey way beyond that of the Odyssey
Your story will travel through tragedy and comedy
Always keep your map close to see where you wanna be
I oftеn imagine all of my apologies
Crashin’ down on top of me but don’t lеt it follow me
I hope it don’t follow you when it comes to that
And that you don’t stumble through when you on the track
And I hope that you cut a few, if you a lumberjack
Whatever that you wanna do, remember that I gotcha back
[Chorus: The Chemist, Grey Ghost]
We're flown out to see
If I can achieve
Mercy, mercy
Remember that I gotcha back
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
The streets are riddled red with fires
There's vultures swooping like hell
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
But it's still quiet inside this house
Nothing can do you harm here
[Verse 2: Mantra]
Alright, now
Saw you do some growin’ up tonight
Watched with silent wonder with tears of pride in my eyes
As if I was privy to a side of you I had never seen
As you took your mother’s hand and held it tightly while she cried
Like it put a crack in the mould
Story that your character told, let another couple chapters unfold
Capture the man that we have to uphold
That of a truly gentle spirit, a compassionate soul
And there’ll be many questions, incorrect answers and many lessons
Learn the hard way, but aren’t they themselves a blessin’?
‘Til we out of breath and the present is vanishin’
Just remember you can tell me absolutely anythin’
We all make mistakes, harbour regrets
But the only thing we can’t control is the past tense
Either way, little man, have the time of your life
And as you walk through the future, believe I’ma be by your side
[Chorus: The Chemist, Mantra]
We're flown out to see
If I can achieve
Mercy, mercy
By your side
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
The streets are riddled red with fires
There's vultures swooping like hell
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
But it's still quiet inside this house
Nothing can do you harm here
[Verse 3: Grey Ghost]
Goodnight little man, yo, good luck with the dreams
I can see the spirit in you, ‘cause that’s somethin’ to me
And when I was your age before I’d spoken on beats
I had no damn idea what I would hope to achieve
And I’ve had a lot of falls, a lot has broken in me
But I would take nothin’ back, yo, emotionally
Now I can openly grieve and I’m totally free
Speakin’ this to you, my brother, throwin’ stones at the beach
It’s like
[Chorus: The Chemist]
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
But mercy sleeps inside love's arms
Nothing can do you harm here
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
The streets are riddled red with fires
There's vultures swooping like hell
Wah-ah, Wah-ah-ah
But mercy sleeps inside love's arms
Nothing can do you harm here
*Clears throat*
