[Intro: Swoope]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I ain't used to this


[Chorus: Swoope]

I really thought the weight of my soul could ever be held up by chasin' my goals, man I'm chasin' the Ghost

Relationships fold, even the ones that make you get old

From baby to grown, naked should came and naked should go

The circle of life goes around in the shape of an O

There's no escapin' it, no, that's just the way that it goes

Yeah (That's just the way that it goes)


[Verse 1: Swoope]

Uh-huh, I want money, power, respect for mine

Kinlochs, DMX for mine

You say my last name is greatest ever next to mine

Birdman hand rub, put some respect on mine

Talkin' to you rappers like Charlemagne and it's breakfast time

Don't want it all, but what I want, I want it comfortably

Respect is what's in front of me, keep me runnin' a hunnid weeks

Call me respect-aholic, just proceed it with functioning

I try to masquerade, but accolades I need for numbing me

It's Nocavane, Novacane, chasin' after Novacane

I went to the service and they told me I should go and pray

I prayed up to God and He told me I should go and wait

Patience gettin' thin but my passion gettin' overweight

I'm puttin' on a show today, 'cause true pain is Wu-Tang

Puttin' on my ghost face when dudes sayin' Swoope ain't

Givin' y'all the Monets, high art, hold up

Take me out of Rapzilla, put me into MOMA


[Chorus: Swoope]

Chasin' after ghosts for the weight of my soul, I hope it's held up by chasin' my goals, man I'm chasin' the Ghost

Relationships fold, even the ones that make you get old

From baby to grown, naked should came and naked should go

The circle of life goes around in the shape of an O

There's no escapin' it, no, that's just the way that it goes (Yeah)


[Verse 2: Lecrae]

Listen, ayy, look

Look, I've been tryna pick apart my politics, I'll probably see some policies that don't apply to me

But it's a part of me that's sittin' here pondering

Wonderin' if my abode is just a toast to a candidate and tryna change is a hoax

Yeah, I've been chasin' change, I've been pretty vain, money cause fame

I've been chasin' after fillings 'cause the feeling's still the same

And these forces, these evil forces, man I hear voices

Tellin' me I ain't enough unless I hit the Forbes' List

Five hunnid horses, Porche, gorgeous

Chains on my neck for confidence cost me a fortune

Insecure, boy, you insecure? Boy, you is alright

You need someone tell you your identity in disarray

Crazy, huh, I know it seems like I'm focused, they think I see the future

But I've been seein' ghosts here, seems crazy

Huh, I know it seems like I'm focused, they think I see the future

But I've been seein' ghosts


[Chorus: Swoope]

I really thought the weight of my soul could ever be held up by chasin' my goals, man I'm chasin' the Ghost

Relationships fold, even the ones that make you get old

From baby to grown, naked should came and naked should go

The circle of life goes around in the shape of an O

There's no escapin' it, no, that's just the way that it goes, yeah


[Outro]

Black, black

Black body that's Godly

Heart gold, get comfy

Trauma heavy, God got me
