Intro
They said I vanished, nah I was buildin' Now everything I touch turn to millions
Verse 1
Spent three winters in that basement, no windows to the world Mama thought I lost my mind, but I was blueprintin' my pearl Every doubt they planted in me, I let it fertilize the grind Now I pull up in that Phantom and they act like they was kind Had to ghost my whole circle 'cause they only brought me down Cut the dead weight off my ankles, now I'm floatin' through the town See, they wanted me to struggle, keep me reachin' for the floor But I turned my isolation to a weapon, now I'm more
Pre-chorus
They can't see me, but they feel me Every dollar got a spirit
Chorus
Ghost money, ghost money, watch it multiply I was dead to them, now I'm too alive Ghost money, ghost money, can't explain the rise Disappeared and came back with the prize
Verse 2
Used to count the copper pennies in that jar beside my bed Now I'm countin' different currencies, got accountants seein' red Every room I walk in now, they feel the temperature shift They don't know if I'm a blessing or if I'm about to rip Built this empire from the shadows where they said no light could grow Now they want the same blueprint but I ain't lettin' no one know See, my silence was strategic while they ran they mouths for clout I was stackin' up in secret, now they finally figured out
Pre-chorus
They can't see me, but they feel me Every dollar got a spirit
Chorus
Ghost money, ghost money, watch it multiply I was dead to them, now I'm too alive Ghost money, ghost money, can't explain the rise Disappeared and came back with the prize
Bridge
Told my younger self to hold on through the dark Every scar became a story, every wound became a spark They gon' write about this comeback when I'm finally in the ground But I'm here right now and breathin', let that be the loudest sound
Verse 3
Now my name ring in the buildings where they used to lock me out Same folks who said I'm finished got my posters in they house I ain't bitter, I'm just different, see the ghost learned how to fly While they sleepin' on my legacy, I'm buildin' past the sky Put my people in position, gave 'em seats up at the feast Every soul who stayed beside me, now we eatin' like we priests This that resurrection money, this that prove-'em-wrong parade I was buried in they doubts and came back sharper than a blade
Pre-chorus
They can't see me, but they feel me Every dollar got a spirit
Chorus
Ghost money, ghost money, watch it multiply I was dead to them, now I'm too alive Ghost money, ghost money, can't explain the rise Disappeared and came back with the prize
Bridge 2
Gave me funerals before I even had a chance to die Now I'm livin' so loud that they can hear me in the sky [Chorus] x2 Ghost money, ghost money, watch it multiply I was dead to them, now I'm too alive Ghost money, ghost money, can't explain the rise Disappeared and came back with the prize
Outro
Started countin' in the basement Now they countin' on my name Phantom in, phantom out They remember how I came
Inside the recording
They said I vanished, nah I was buildin' Now everything I touch turn to millions
They can't see me, but they feel me Every dollar got a spirit
Started countin' in the basement Now they countin' on my name
