Not a Ghost anymore

Real recognize real, you already know the rest

Let's talk about ego death

Found peace in the patterns, WorldPatternz in the flesh

BPD got me twisted but the music's what I bless

Content for the first time, that's strange for my mind

Used to chase the highs and lows, now I'm walking the line

Channeling all this energy, transforming it into rhyme

Every bar a building block, I'm reconstructing my design

Some might misunderstand, twist the words that I speak

But conscious minds know the value of the love we seek

It's about being your own rock, your own savior when shit gets messy

Honestly it's necessary

This clarity I'm speaking from, it cost me everything

Texas memories still echo, but I've learned to make them sing

Loved too damn hard for 7 years, provider was my role

Gave my heart to broken people, nearly sacrificed my soul

But ego death ain't losing self, it's finding who you are

Beneath the masks and expectations, underneath the scars

They say "fake it till you make it" but that's a poisoned well

Real recognize real, and real's got stories to tell

Hit rock bottom in that hotel, her tears couldn't wash away

All the damage that was done by words we didn't say

Thought I was a ghost who I used to be, but ghosts are stuck, stuck haunting the past, and I'm not chasing who I used to be

Mind split, soul rip, couldn't grip reality

Started with blow, spiral down fatality

Crystal meth kept me thin, skeleton mentality

Dancing with demons, lost my humanity

CPS came quick, snatched the kids from sight

While you spread your legs for another man that night

Told you straight up I was losing my damn soul

Body wasting to nothing, out of control

Took care of my son while you ran wild and free

Learned to be a father with no guide but me

Pain hitting triple time, rhythm in my chest

Breakdown, breakdown, put my heart to the test

Left Houston in pieces, Cali called my name

DNA test waiting, would it be the same?

99.8 percent, he's blood of my blood

But three states away when he said his first words, "oh my God"

A flood of emotions hit me, as I missed his first steps first teeth, grief compounding underneath

Everything I built, every sacrifice made

While they twist the story, paint me as the villain in their charade

Lonely nights became my new normal scene

They rewrite history, call me the monster

That broke their family, but I was the one bleeding

All I ever did was love them, now I'm retreating

To find myself again, in these Cali skies

Past the Texas darkness, where my spirit dies

But ego death ain't death, it's rebirth in disguise

Real recognize real, and real's where wisdom lies

Real recognize real, that's the code I live by

Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high

WorldPatternz in the building, never gonna die

From the bottom to the top watch me multiply watch me spread this message watch me touch the sky

Real recognize real, that's the code I live by

Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high

WorldPatternz in the building, never

#Hook, repeat 2x#

Real recognize real, that's the code I live by

Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high

WorldPatternz in the building, never gonna die

From the bottom to the top watch me multiply watch me spread this message watch me elevate my mental state, yea... and touch the fucken sky

#verse#

BPD diagnosis hit but I flipped the script

Turned my mental chaos into bars so equipped

Started writing February, now my flow's legit

Every trauma transformed, every wound I split

Into lessons learned, bridges burned, tables turned

Respect earned through the pain, wisdom I yearned

You took my phrases, made them your own

But real recognize real, we can both hold our throne

World in my right hand, patterns in my left

Artistic reconstruction, building from the theft

Of my former self, shelf the old pain

New bars falling down like that Houston rain

Gotta respect it, from the bottom to the surface, I'm emerging

Mind's still hurting but the vision's converging

Every scar's a lesson, every loss a teacher

Thought I was the student, turns out I'm the preacher

Speaking truth to power, speaking power to the weak

Found my voice after years when I couldn't even speak

Yeah, they broke me down to atoms but I'm building back stronger

Don't need their validation, can't wait any longer

I'm still a father even if it's just through the phone line

That unconditional love, that's my mothafucken lifeline

So I take this weight, transform it to wisdom

used to doubt myself,but all this pains made me strong

Content for the first time, that's strange for my mind

BPD had me twisted, now I'm perfectly aligned

With my purpose, with my art, with my destined path

Seven years of giving love, now I'm doing the math

Every tear I shed, every night I bled

Led me to this moment, ego death instead

Of ego trip, I flip the script, I grip this shit,ignite the mic

Yea...ignite the mic

Heating shit up burning down the building, yea yea fuck yea, this is what I'm like

Real recognize real, that's the code I live by

Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high

Worlds in the booth,here I'm never gonna die

From the bottom to the top,

watch me multiply

Yeah, that's the code I live by, unfiltered and raw

Me and myself, forever, beautiful flaws and all

So when the choice appears, the answer I hold here

Self-love or destruction, outcomes crystal clear

Real recognize real, that's the code I live by

Ego death brought me back to life, now I'm flying high

World in the booth,here I'm never gonna die

From the bottom to the top, watch me multiply

WorldPatternz, perfectly tuned and strong

This is how I keep it real, this is my song
