(Banjo intro, heavy and distorted)
(Verse 1)
Sunrise creepin' over the dumpster, another day begun
Empty belly rumblin', feelin' like a loaded gun
Got my cardboard castle, ain't much but it's my own
Another night of shiverin', wishin' I was back home
Used to have a house, a wife, a dog named Blue
Now it's just me and the pigeons, nothin' left to do
But hustle for some change, a bite to eat, a sip
Another day of survival, on this never-ending trip
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm a ghost in the city, invisible to the crowd
Just another homeless rapper, singin' out loud
'Bout the pain and the struggle, the cold and the rain
Tryna rise above it, break free from these chains
From the streets to the spotlight, that's my only dream
Hear my voice, feel my heart, ain't nothin' what it seems
I'm a country boy gone wrong, but I ain't lost my fight
Gonna make it out this darkness, find my own damn light
(Verse 2)
Used to plow the fields, work hard with my own two hands
Now I'm beggin' for a dollar, in this forgotten land
Lost my farm, lost my family, lost everything I knew
Just a broken man, singin' the blues, it's true
But I ain't gonna lay down, ain't gonna give up hope
Gonna keep on rhymin', keep on climbin' this steep slope
Maybe someone will hear me, maybe someone will care
About the homeless brother, with nothin' left to share
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm a ghost in the city, invisible to the crowd
Just another homeless rapper, singin' out loud
'Bout the pain and the struggle, the cold and the rain
Tryna rise above it, break free from these chains
From the streets to the spotlight, that's my only dream
Hear my voice, feel my heart, ain't nothin' what it seems
I'm a country boy gone wrong, but I ain't lost my fight
Gonna make it out this darkness, find my own damn light
(Bridge)
They say I'm just a bum, a waste of space and time
But I got stories to tell, rhymes that truly shine
Stories of survival, of loss, and of despair
But also stories of hope, and the strength to still care
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm a ghost in the city, invisible to the crowd
Just another homeless rapper, singin' out loud
'Bout the pain and the struggle, the cold and the rain
Tryna rise above it, break free from these chains
From the streets to the spotlight, that's my only dream
Hear my voice, feel my heart, ain't nothin' what it seems
I'm a country boy gone wrong, but I ain't lost my fight
Gonna make it out this darkness, find my own damn light
(Outro)
(Banjo fades out with a final, distorted chord)
Yeah, keep your head up, even when you're down low
Gonna rise above it, that's the only way to go.
