Chasing Ghosts ft. Lecrae Lyrics

It isn't something

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That I'm Used to

I ain't used to this

I really thought the weight of my soul

Could ever be held up by chasing my goals

Man, I'm chasing a ghost, relationships fold

Even the ones that make you get old

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

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

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

Yeah, that's just the way that it goes

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

Kim, Lox, DMX for mine

You say my last name is greatest ever next to mine

Birdman hand rub, put some respeck on mine

Talking 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 running 100 weeks

Call me respectaholic, just please proceed it with functioning

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

It's Novocaine, Novocaine, chasing after Novocaine

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 getting thin, but my passion getting overweight

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

Putting on my ghost face when dudes saying Swoope ain't

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

Take me out of Rapzilla, put me in the MoMA

I'm chasing after ghosts for the weight of my soul

I'm hoping it's held up by chasing my goals

Man, I'm chasing a ghost, relationships fold

Even the ones that make you get old, from baby to grown

Naked you came and naked you go

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

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

Listen, hey look

Look, I've been trying to pick apart my politics

I probably see some policies that don't apply to me

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

Wondering if my vote is just a toast to a candidate

And trying to chase change is a hoax

Yeah, I've been chasing change, I've been pretty vain

Money calls fame, I've been chasing after feelings

'Cause the feeling's still the same

Man, these forces, these evil forces

Man, I hear voices telling me I ain't enough

Unless I make the Forbes list

500 horses, Porsche, gorgeous

Chains on my neck for confidence cost me a fortune

Insecure, boy you insecure, boy you Issa Rae

You need someone tell you your identity and disarray

Crazy, I know it seems like I'm focused

They think I see the future, but I've been seeing ghosts

Yes, it's crazy, I know it seems like I'm focused

They think I see the future, but I've been seeing ghosts

I really thought the weight of my soul

Could ever be held up by chasing my goals

Man, I'm chasing a ghost, relationships fold

Even the ones that make you get old

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

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

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

Yeah

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black

Black, black, body that's godly

Heart, gold skin, coffee, trauma, heavy

God got me
