Earl Sweatshirt Ghost

At this point, fans know what they’re getting when Earl Sweatshirt drops. What began as a twisted odyssey of edgy bars and verbal dexterity has evolved into something far more complex, with the former Odd Future emcee having perfected the formula of abstract lyricism. In fact, not unlike Aesop Rock, some of Earl’s lines require deeper analysis to fully comprehend — though that’s not to say he’s incapable of landing a direct blow when he so chooses.

Today, he came through with the Deluxe Edition of Feet Of Clay, which features a new track with Navy Blue called “Ghost.” Wasting little time in starting off, Earl somehow manages to make lethargy sound urgent, no easy feat. Navigating a busy vocal sample and triumphant orchestral strings, Sweatshirt leaves the rapping duties largely to Navy Blue, who holds it down admirably, no less abstract in his imagery. “Know four years later, know I got better, praise to my God, that armor all metal,” he raps. “Iron sword on my spirits gon’ get on her.”

Lyrics

[Chorus: Earl Sweatshirt, Navy Blue & Both]
True indeed, I see you creeping
Oh, what else you need to know?
Truancy was when I left, when I was needed most
Gold noose, I learned to see the ropes
I need a spot where I can see the coast
Nah, we the light, I keep my demons close
Nah, pre the plot, you never seen the ghost
Uh, uh, seen the ghost

[Verse: Navy Blue]
Know four years later, know I got better
Praise to my God, that armor all metal
Iron sword on my spirits gon’ get on her
I know my pops guilty ’cause he left ’em
I wore his blessings, honorary cloak
And sacred Yoruba is what he spoke
I pray I say goodbye but know I won’t
At best, uh
‘Cause if he live, he’d be a vegetable
Know he next to go
Had to show love, we had grown apart
Can’t dwell on what it was
Singing from my heart Paloma is a dove

[Break: Earl Sweatshirt]
Nah, true indeed, you never seen the scope
Every which way the weasel go
Really nothing niggas ain’t seen before
True indeed, true indeed, uh

[Chorus: Earl Sweatshirt, Navy Blue & Both]
True indeed, I see you creeping
Oh, what else you need to know?
Truancy was when I left, when I was needed most
Gold noose, I learned to see the ropes
I need a spot where I can see the coast
Nah, we the light, I keep my demons close
Nah, pre the plot, you never seen the ghost
Uh, uh, seen the ghost
