lirik lagu grey ghost - shigeto
[intro]
[verse 1]
yeah, when i was a young teenager
all i did was draw in my sketchbook, a textbook failure
i went from school to school
my parents broke up next, so i went from house to house too
my step-father was abusive
my dad didn’t know so i had to make excuses
don’t bring up my brother and my sister, this dude he was useless
my mother she was beautiful but had a thing for losers
sorry to my siblings for talking ’bout your dad
but i gotta get it off the chest bad
i’m just trying to get some context from where i was at
its not that i was sad, i was just a little mad
so the prospect of boarding school sounded sorta cool
part of me felt i didn’t have no more to lose
im talkin’ like it was all doom and gloom
i had a good childhood, i was just confused
so many are at fifteen years old
as i watch now in this boarding house alone
and at the ( ? ) i used to wear matching tracksuits
my shoes loose, my pants low like i had to
had a sketchbook full of graff
but my cd player only had green day and that sort of cr-p
so when this dude entered the room looking the same as me
knowing hip hop from a to jay-z
i was taken, and so began my education
i never woulda known it would become my occupation
year ’99 i was in year 9
the year i heard the rhymes that would change my life
in the form of a compact disc
and when a bomb track hit, my whole perspective changed
re-arranging every cell within this individual
the words political, feelin it was spiritual
what the f-ck is this imagery and audio
righteous as h-ll, but still it wasn’t corny though
caught me off-gaurd, i was hardly ready
like rock-steady sending a machete into my belly
thats when my whole f-ckin head had exploded
the rap plus the beat equals double the dosage
my troubles imploded, and sudden emotion
came rushing through my blood knocking the chip off my shoulder
[hook]
hip hop helped me out
i’m never gonna let you down
i won’t ever forget
i rap to pay back the debt, uh (x2)
[verse 2:]
you may wonder what happened next
let me tell you it was something that i never expected
if you were paying attention
you may remember the dude that introduced me to rap that i mentioned
became best friends, then became enemies
then i get a call to tell me he’d been knocked off his feet
by what?! by a cab, what the f-ck, wheres he at
im tryin to tell you now bro, he’s dead
i felt sick lost for words out of breath
my own best friend dead was my first encounter with death
this was the guy who taught me ’bout rap
id only been a listener, now time to change that
i put the pen to the pad
and i vented my cr-p
to end all this sadness
and in a way yo it kept me from madness
and so i kept on writing this rap sh-t
and now equipped for whatever came
i had words like bullets in a clip in a chamber
so even when i found out my step-father
had laid his hands on the kids and my mother
i knew not to get violent
it would only make things worse so i chose just to write it down
even if that sh-t was too heavy to put out
it helps to write about every cloud
and since then i’ve had a lot of sh-t happen
so i sing my songs and i keep on rappin’
the way most ( ? )
i hope this can be a help for you
[hook]
[verse 3:]
i was found by the sounds
when i was down, uh huh
now i letting it out, (let it out, let it out)
and times in my life when i was blinded, (you know the feelin’ right)
you gave me that ( ? ), ( ? )
