Phantoms, eerie tales of success

Yeah, just a phantom anthem

Traveled in a trio, or maybe just abandoned

It's random, found one take your grandson for ransom

Got 'im with his hands all in the cookie jar

Playin' hooky, gettin' drunk, later on, took your car

Soul Of Mischief: Til infinity, got a bone to pick

And the phantom will forever remain on your s**t list

The other one give good advice, well dressed, real nice

Knows your worth, sets the price, keep you out the hood for life

Think that would suffice, but really it's just the beginnin'

Third one got you drunk and high, runnin' round here chasin' women

Wife wonder how you dis fam and disgrace your children

Dudes is wired like that, it's still an all-case buildin'

Drats, and double-tracks, shorties with the bubble fats

Ay caramba, trouble jack, phantom steal another track

Bet your life, double that, think you havin' fun in fact

Slip her one too many times, may not be no coming back

(coming back, coming back), never let it happen

Lose your phone, tell side-chick, "Get to packin'"

Other phantom write it all down and get to rappin'

I fought a ghost in my apartment, he had too many hitpoints

He bested me and told me I should've invested in Bitcoin

And then he lit joints and offered me a Fanta can

He drove a Phantom, then he started singing Phantogram

Well damn, I'm like, "Isn't this convenient?"

It didn't take a genius to sniff it as somethin' fiendish

He introduced himself and said, "What's your name?"

For the next four days we played the exquisite corpse game

I sold my soul to 'im for some new hightops

Told The Phantom guide my hand and I drew Cyclops

Best wrestlers get possessed to do high spots

Hey, I stay toasty at Smoke and Noob Saibot, yeah

My man was kinda the best ghost

He gifted me a new rap book that's prob'ly ya Death Note

He was the homie though, we shared the same virtues

He showed me his soul once now I only wear church shoes

Turned out he wasn't dead, just very fatigued

My apologies, I buried the lead

I'm real bad at tellin' stories y'all

Prob'ly shoulda told y'all from the beginning that he wasn't

He wasn't really dead

Why do these phantoms always wind up haunting me?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why do these phantoms always wind up haunting me?

(Czar)

Phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms

Phantoms, phantoms, me, yeah (the phantoms)

Why do these phantoms always wind up haunting me?

Phantoms, phantoms, phantoms

Phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, haunt, haunt

Ya, I used to hop the 3 train, always out for more wax

Smoke blunts with danger, trouble at my doorstep

Stared death in the face, left him with a sore neck

The Devil himself can't resist the raw dialect

Clashed with the titans, robbed stores with Lucifer

Seduced a temptress, threesome with Medusa

The phantoms, they surround me like Dolby sound

Like they seen a live n**a in a ghost town

Never was afraid of the dark, I was goodie man

I learned early, the boogeyman is fam

They say I'm evil and my mind is twisted

I say I'm godly, my lines is wicked

Haley Joel Osment, I see fake n**s

Gravediggers, goons, trolls, shapeshifters

I always feel like somebody watchin' me

Slayin' demons on the reg, shotgun with Constantine

F**k a phantom, I'm fed up with phony fantasies

Fake fugazi fantasies fam, we f**k with family

Foes feelin' free to forge wit fetti and fame

They fabricated, fascinating like a Frank Frazetta frame

Fools falsify facts, friends figure it's fine

They fail to fix the fraudulent and formulate a Frankenstein

For real, your focus fuzzy like footage of the flesh

Of the first Farrah Fawcett found

Fetch a flask, force it (force it, force it)

Down fast, 'cause flood's in the forecast

You don't know a fraction, forget the half

Follow, your financial future's finished

Phantom's got you free-fallin' for females

And fish for the fictitious

Why do these phantoms always wind up haunting me? Yeah

Phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, me, yeah

Why do these phantoms always wind up haunting me? Yeah

Phantoms, phantoms (bad company), phantoms

Phantoms (bad karma), phantoms, phantoms, (bad luck)

Phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, phantoms, (Go)
