Ghost in the Machine (feat. Robert Ivory & ADÉ)

All the time, all the time, all the time, rattpack, what up
All the time, all the time, all the time, rattpack

Back in the basement, homie
Way before, way before the first placement, homie
Back in the basement, homie
Way before, way before the first placement, homie

Yeah, time is a drug and it's finite
So that's why I write, about my present now so clean
Round it like a mezzanine, record raps like I'm a machine
Word to major, homie, what's your flavor, homie?
College bar days, rockin suave, homie
Anonymity was free, but now they all know me

The money that I got
The money that I got
The rollie that I got
The fame, take it all away now tell me what I got

First and foremost, my health, secondly, that's my family
I got tact, I got heart, I got it all but a Grammy
I got people that love me and some people that can't stand me
But no matter what they say, I know I am me
I'm a champ like N.O.R.E. and EFN way down in Miami
Know the game could never ban me
I'm a renegade like M and J
Might as well be honest with what you say
Cause no matter how you feel, them people finna hate you anyway

This for the kid in the dorm room with a dream of his own
These haters that try to drown you, they won't leave you alone
But never give up your sight, always remember to fight
You never know what could happen your life could change overnight
It happened to me, I ain't kidding, way back in them days, man
Playing Call of Duty online, rocking with FaZe Clan
I'm a millionaire with a dad bod and a cup of graze, man
So keep it real all the time and remember who you am, who you am

East side, west side
We ride, we die all for this
All my mind I know why I came fall for this
All my life I've tried, I've cried, got pride in it
All my life I've hide, I stayed inside for this
Tell me what you know about
40 days, 40 nights, no lies, all for this
Tell me what you know about sleeping outside
No ride in the wintertime, all for this
Tell me what you know about commas in the bank
Looking in the mirror, yeah, I did all of this
(Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)

Yeah
I'm just trynna do what makes me happy
Living my truth
Was cut from a different cloth, played by different rules
Had to find a way to cheat the status quo
Still with the static though
Played the corner like Avante Maddox, where the addicts go
Wasn't my habits though
I was on a different wave
Played the sidekick to get it, did the Scottie Pippen phase
These days I play it like Lebron
Business cards say I got a white side I ain't Hassan
Nah, this is educated black
Playing with me get you smacked, for a while been on these Cubans
Sipping Azul, but my energy still miles with the Ye
I'm sharp as Shannon, you skip cuz you skipping facts

I tip my hat to anybody black that made it out the hood
Got they old family living good from off of rap
We don't get as many options to live as opulent
Ball Harbor shop, take the crew to Nobu, I found blue occupants

A long way from Briggs Chaney
Where rolling up bush was my vice like Dick Cheney
I was living insanely
For the money I couldn't attain, mama couldn't tame me
She get it now, I count up on her kitchen counter
2000, 3004, gotta fix her kitchen floor
Here go 3000 more
Feel good to step up, make up what she can't afford
Keep it a buck, this is what it's all for, for sure
