Ghosts by Konstancy Lyrics
[Verse 1: Konstancy]
I refuse to be living in your shadow
Rap niggas better wake up and gear up for the battle
This is Pali, coming for what you owed us
Revenge for every single lie that you told us
Bout to to put the game together
Spit bars, My shit hard, you niggas got diarhhea
Speaking of, Im gassed up
Remember when they tried to gas us
Walkin through the city masked up
That was 01, day my brother was born
On the way to the hospital my aunt asked me whats wrong
I said, I dont get it
Its a war going on and now my baby brother also gotta live it?
It all seemed selfish but I was naive
Not knowing that as they killed our trees
The only way to fight back was to plant more seeds
And pray to God that they bring back peace
To this peaceless city where I spent sleepeless nights
Thinkin bout what I can do to make it right
How this Mic gone save my life and shed more light
Over a generation thats way too bright
When they been told that all theyre good for is throwin rocks
And ducking shots from these fucking cops
Nah, you deserve more your life is worth more
Peep the game that I spit bout as hot as the earths core
They ask me what I curse for, we been cursed for too long
The prince bout to get it right just to prove you wrong
Do it for the city, Pali im finna put you on
Obstacles I need to beat like two songs
Interstellar flow, outta this world
Front row, be the first to observe
Seen too many shit to not snap now
They wanna arrest me I can't nap now
This how I felt when Nadeem got down
[Chorus: Konstancy]
Its just a lot of pain in our lives
Burn my heart when I seen mama cry
One last time, please mama lie
Tell me that its gone be fine
Tell me that this war gone end
Tell me Im gone see my friend
That they shot down in cold blood
Ghosts of the city, coming for what you owed us
[Verse 1: Konstancy]
I promise it won't be in vein
Cuz when you got killed it drove me insane
Now this liquor burn my liver just to cope with the pain
Tell X to light the spliff up to free my brain From these thoughts and memories
Of babies getting shot to the melody
Please, somebody find the remedy
Out here shit is real like the enemy
Lied to the world and faked their pedigree
Zimmerman didn't pay
Wilson didn't pay
Or the settler who shot my uncle
I remember that day
I was in seventh grade when they shot him in broad day
His kids runnin to him to see if hes okay
Youll never know what its like being them
So how you the fuck you gone preach peace to them
I swear on every life that you took, I won't stop till I have all you niggas shooked
This is where they bustin with them thangs out
Blow your brains out
Bomb the fucking closet that you came out
Bullets flyin at the park where the children hang out
In plain sight, nigga (BLOW)
Just another day in the life
When its dark out they stray from the light
Gotta get it by any means to survive
If you wanna stay alive my nigga you gotta ride, (ride, ride)
[Chorus: Konstancy]
Its just a lot of pain in our lives
Burn my heart when I seen mama cry
One last time, please mama lie
Tell me that its gone be fine
Tell me that this war gone end
Tell me Im gone see my friend
That they shot down in cold blood
Ghosts of the city, coming for what you owed us
I refuse to be living in your shadow
Rap niggas better wake up and gear up for the battle
This is Pali, coming for what you owed us
Revenge for every single lie that you told us
