Intro
Phone stayed quiet on the nights the rain hit hardest Now it ring when the glow make the block feel like a target
Verse 1
Cousin hit the line talking blood thicker than any water Last month he ain't know me when I needed a quarter Shorty in the comments saying she been down since the first day But the first day she was posted with the one who had the pay Old head from the corner now dapping me like we always been blood Used to walk past when I was just another face in the mud Got a little paper from a weekend side gig on the books Suddenly the whole city acting like we go back to the roots They pull up in the lot when the bottles start to pop Asking for the aux cord like we always been rocking non-stop Told me they always believed, always knew I would shine Now the same ones ghost when the bag get light on the line
Chorus
Easy come, easy ghost Showed up when the lights was on Easy come, easy ghost Now the bag light, they gone Easy come, easy ghost Love with no weight don't stay long Easy come, easy ghost When the glow fade, they gone
Verse 2
Court date hit, the phone went quiet real quick No one posted bail, no one asked if I was sick Rent week came knocking, the group chat went cold The same ones who smiled when the money was old Saw her in the lot with a new face in the whip Same smile she gave when I had the zip in the clip They don't hate you, they just love what the shine do When the lights cut off, they don't waste time on you Told myself this time the love was heavy, not the front But weightless things don't need a reason to leave when it blunt The porch light stayed off when I pulled up in the rain The same hands that hugged me now acting like I changed
Chorus
Easy come, easy ghost Showed up when the lights was on Easy come, easy ghost Now the bag light, they gone Easy come, easy ghost Love with no weight don't stay long Easy come, easy ghost When the glow fade, they gone
Bridge
I wanted it to be real, wanted it to mean more than the glow Told myself the ones who showed up when it popped would stay when it slow But easy come things don't carry weight when the test come They just float in for the light, float out when you need someone
Chorus
Easy come, easy ghost Showed up when the lights was on Easy come, easy ghost Now the bag light, they gone Easy come, easy ghost Love with no weight don't stay long Easy come, easy ghost When the glow fade, they gone
Outro
Easy come, easy ghost Now I move like I know what the glow really cost
Inside the recording
Phone stayed quiet on the nights the rain hit hardest Now it ring when the glow make the block feel like a target
Easy come, easy ghost Showed up when the lights was on
Easy come, easy ghost Now I move like I know what the glow really cost
