A god on the mic

Peace God

It’s been a long time

I shouldn’t of left you

Without a strong line

To wreck you

Think of how many cold nights you slept through

Time’s up

I’m sorry I kept you

Fiending for this

Pure cocaine bliss

No cut

No filler

No preemie condom shit

No arm and hammer

Or benzo for sale

Just pure fishscale

White as hell

The Ghost ain’t no joke

I move the crowd so well

Peace god to Rakim

For giving me the shell

Painted Black

This close to the institution

Did anyone else see that?

Wait a lifetime for retribution

Did anyone else hear that?

Speak and shoot free like the constitution

I want it painted black

Take that house on Dryden

And turn it into a trap

Replace the good memories inside it

With violence, bullets, blood and sex

Every nice thing I said about you

I take it all back

And I will take your top off

Like ashing a cigarette

Wrought Iron Railing

Creep down the stairs

Look over the wrought iron railing

Fish tank gurgles and glows

The sound of the wind wailing

As it blows past the house

Moves trees about

Welcome upstate

Where it’s always nasty out

And the weather changes

As much as my mood

The fury that was born

In the house where the fish tank broods

Will show its face to you

Unstable emotions

Will raise more hell

Than the wind and aquarium commotion

That used to wake me up and yell

Have me downstairs as a child

Keep pushin buttons

I’ll smoke you like a Black & Mild

Your plastic tip skull busted

Dominos

Thick wet sound

As scarlet seeps on the ground

A scuttling crawling puddle

Forming a halo around

Somebody who got up

And had to be laid down

Like dominos on a table

Cuban men gather around

shot 1

In 100 Years

In 100 years

When they read the Ghost

Will they see poetry

Music

Or both?

Or will they see none?

Nothing worthy to quote

Simply the scrambled scribblings

Of history’s longest suicide note
