Its The Ghost GG x Ratatat by Grey Ghost Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I spent a lotta time as a kid in my room losin’ hours
Lookin’ in the mirror hopin’ to find that I had superpowers
Imagine myself killin’ a crew of cowards
Dude with an Uzi [?] to nuke him down
Got lost in them colourful pages
Stuck in ‘em for days and reality became
The lame part of the day, I just wanted to stay
Indoors and read ‘em all ‘cause they were fuckin’ amazin’
I was taken, transported to a place
Where I imagine myself with a mask on my face
Sharpen the stake to chase away a vampire
Pull the disguise off a villain, call him a damn liar
Stories ‘round a campfire, I admire
The bad guys in dark attire holdin’ a barbed wire
I was the flyin’ knight in shinin’ armour
Antihero cuttin’ ‘em down like a barber
[Chorus]
Who’s that man with the pineapple hair
Silhouetted up there on top of that ledge?
It’s The Ghost
It’s The Ghost (Ah-ah)
Who’s that man with the pineapple hair
Silhouetted up there on top of that ledge?
It’s The Ghost
It’s The Ghost (Ah-ah)
[Verse 2]
When I grew up, I started headin’ out in the night-time
Not to fight crime but to find like minds
That would write rhymes in the day
Then head out into the city at night to put ‘em up on display
And yeah, there were a lotta villains to fuck with my shit
I must admit, they got in at least a couple of hits
But I was dodgin’ these obstacles up in the mix
I was on a crusade so I had to commit
And yo, my rap-mobile was an Alpha Romeo
Beatin’ up, bomb, it had done too many k’s, though
This is way before I became Grey Ghost
So I was on a search for my alias, yo
Stuck in the back of a club, talkin’ my crap
An anonymous rapper in a metropolis that
I grew up in, saw some whack shit, I had to kill it
For the greater good I would eliminate all of the villains
[Chorus]
Who’s that man with the pineapple hair
Silhouetted up there on top of that ledge?
It’s The Ghost
It’s The Ghost (Ah)
Who’s that man with the pineapple hair
Silhouetted up there on top of that ledge?
It’s The Ghost
It’s The Ghost (Ah)
[Verse 3]
So I became Jeremedy, brought fear to the night
I went all black, my hair was my disguise
My enemies were right to be distressed
Now I needed a symbol to stamp upon my chest
Went into a cave and meditated for days
Saw an apparition appear in front of my face
It was a poltergeist, told me “Nothin’ is black or white
Become grey to make it right”
[Outro]
He is The Ghost
He is The Ghost
He is the Grey Ghost
Nobody knows
