PHANTOM Lyrics

See I was too attached

So I had to detach

So I didn't relapse

As I filled it to the max

Reminisced riding around with them packs

Used to stack up them racks

Prayed for the jacks to be relaxed

Hope you feel this til you relax

Then the profits came quick

That's when I made a quick split

Put my life in a pivot

Just wanted them quick digits

Others just mimicked

These rhymes became prolific

The way I speak

I speak pictures

I write scriptures

News travels fast

When the product sends you to the stars

Which brought heat on my name

So he sought out a change

But a change don't come

Without the guidance of your mum

Or the man that you've become

How do I really find peace

So he sought out a release

Just wait for the release

And their hearts will skip a beat

Just wanna hit in their soul

Flying out to Seoul

To reaffirm my goals

Grounded myself so much I felt in my sole

I felt in my sole

I don't even have the answers yet

Planned the dimensions of my life like an architect

Picture the story that my rhymes can sketch

Have you got a right to flex

Got mistakes

And can't run away from fate

Or the hurt that I felt since birth

Heading down this runway

Working on my feng shui

As I'm yet to be swayed

To work for a minimum wage

As we all start off life fresh canvas

Which life is best lived

Through the memories or the cameras

People I love just come and go

People I hugged just want to know

It all starts off with a bit of wisdom

See you can start up your own kingdom

Kept writing these verses

To find out my purpose

Started off life I was in sync

Unplugged my phone then felt in sync

Giving back that became an instinct

The system we live is an algorithm

So gotta see the bigger picture

Find your rhythm to fight them blues

It's way more than symmetry

They want you to lose

So my lifestyle is the epitome

Of finding my passions early

Now it's time for the action that's worthy

To bring my dreams into reality

No casualties when I say I'm about to kill 'em

Tell 'em meet me in the cemetery

That's where I'll bury my legacy

As I battle with my fears

Battle with my tears

Battle with the fact that they're no longer here

If you want to go then go

Don't string me along

Prolonged inevitable

See what you did was beyond questionable

Then just left me alone

From image of a home

To an image on my phone

Here wait let me lower my tone

So you can feel it

Acted out of aggression

Which only triggered my depression

Thought I learnt my lesson

Which only brought into question

I'm more deadly to me than a deadly weapon

The way you left me is how you left your impression

Late night sessions formed a way for my self-expression

All of these possessions

I attain from my profession

Left me guessing

So I kept on pressing

Here's the truth it's gonna hurt

Jumped in the booth just to prove my worth

Have you ever called someone your brother

Wrote a letter to my mother

To show how much you really loved her

So when I said he was like my brother

It's cause I meant it

As he equates to no other

Then overnight he turned a stranger

Fantasies of putting his life in danger

Used to talk about our sons sharing their lives together

Used to walk about at night talking bout life together

So when this storm starts up at night

Know I ain't talking about no weather

I'm talking about living life on a tether

A tether of hope

A tether of rope

A slither of smoke

That's how I really coped
