[Pre-Chorus: Illmac]

If they ain’t loyal I don’t post wit’ ‘em

They was see-through so I ghosted ‘em

Names on bullets when I’m loading ‘em

Told ‘em dead it then I ghosted ‘em

[Chorus: Illmac, Lenka Shockley, & both]

I had to come up missing, to make my presence known

So I ghosted ‘em

I had to count my blessings, they don’t add up I get ghost

Then I ghosted ‘em

[Verse 1: Illmac]

We getting money like 2006

Used to get two-fifty for a ounce of mids

Never let a bitch get in my head like John Malkovich

This my forte, skip the foreplay like ya’ album skits

Fullmetal Alchemist, nosediving mountain cliffs

Surgical wit’ it, feel like Alonzo pulling out the bitch

Knock you out ya’ shit, blowing down ya’ house of bricks

Lounging in my fortress lit, order hits like the Saudi prince

Had to break the mold, sheep’s clothes, masquerading wolf

Calibrate the scale, take a half and make it whole

Channel HBO, Game of Thrones

From dragon flames I rose

Walk out my palace straight to gold like a pharaoh

My heart is black and made of coal

Ancient Rome, gladiator dome

Pop molly get lockjaw, alligator roll

Gladly take your soul, ain’t doing no favors, I do this for paper

Check the polygraph, I’m true to my nature

I do this, don’t lie to you then try to justify to others

Judge threw the book at me, people judge me by the cover

Tryna self-improve, selfish dude, eat the pussy, left a Yelp review

Life a chess game, I take the L and move

She pushing buttons like the ‘Rari’ll start

I’m getting ghost in the whip like Mario Kart

Blood in the water with sharks, tearing bodies apart

Blew candles out, fought in the dark like Arya Stark

Name’s on the list

[Pre-Chorus: Illmac]

If they ain’t loyal I don’t post wit’ ‘em

They was see-through so I ghosted ‘em

Names on bullets when I’m loading ‘em

Told ‘em dead it then I ghosted ‘em

[Chorus: Illmac, Lenka Shockley, & both]

I had to come up missing, to make my presence known

So I ghosted ‘em

I had to count my blessings, they don’t add up I get ghost

Then I ghosted ‘em

[Interlude: Illmac]

They say, give your people the roses while they could smell ‘em and I agree

But sometimes the soil ain’t ready for the flower

You gotta go through some shit and that’s the fertilizer so we could all grow

Yeah

Count my blessings, I get ghost

Count my blessings, my presence known

Count my blessings, I get ghost

I don’t answer the phone, motherfucker been gone been busy

But you can always, you can always make time for shit you wanna make time for but shit

Protect ya’ energy

[Verse 2: Illmac]

I remember reduced lunches, skipping consecutive meals

Now we do lunches with exec’s and still stress on the bill

Somewhere between on the verge, and on the edge of my feels

Thoughts in my head, tryna tell my pessimism to chill

When I go, mention me amongst legends for real

North on my back, got a life-long membership in the ‘ville

Watched some switch up depending on whose presence they feel

Nothing faker than tryna fit somebody’s definition of real

Man, I forget what the choice was

Something about choosing to feel or avoid love

Young thousand-aire, rocking Billionaire Boys Club

Like oh I see, you just filling that void huh?

I already know, those I ghosted I apologize

Just needed to cleanse my energy of them toxic vibes

Now it’s ‘new phone, who dis?’

If, only I knew then what I know now, was clueless

But deep down I always knew this

I knew me, old soul, the shoe fits

Everybody’s a icon, what we do for a few clicks

Mm, old soul, the shoe fits

But the truth is

Sometimes I feel outta place, like I’m not really from here

Like I inherited these memories and this identity and I’m waiting to go back somewhere

Like I’ll wake up from this dream and think ‘oh yeah I am me, that dream was weird’

Just play along

Staying calm, ignore the voices in my head unless I’m making songs

And that’s the way we bond

Probably hard to be with me period

Feelings only show once in a while to keep up appearances

Damn
