Long-standing rapper Baron Samedi released his latest offering a couple of weeks back, and we’ve been slow on the uptake! “Ghost Network Vol. 2” features Baron dropping bars as heavy as ever, on some rather heavy beats too. If…
VERSE 1:
BARON SAMEDI
- It's such a dark night might as well call this Gotham
- As I walk on these paths many more have trodden
- Where the walls have ears but they've all forgotten
- How the flesh is so sweet but the core is rotten
- Sirens scream, the streets are cordoned off and
- All the shook ones look then they all play possum
- Fire in the sky, this the fall of sodom
- All the pond life crawl from the water's bottom
- They say we've all gone quite feral
- Well, um, I better tell em, these words contain scenes of mild peril
- Let's drag em all down to my level
- Burn this square mile that's full of defiled temples of vile devils
- Evil is the tree, the root is money
- We pour blood into the soil and the fruit is ugly
- We struggle and we toil till our boots are muddy
- So who the fuck are you to judge when the truth is fuzzy?
CHORUS:
BARON SAMEDI
- The nights are dark
- Down there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- When the violins start
- I'll be there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- Yeah, you might get scarred
- Down there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- And when life gets hard
- We run and hide where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
VERSE 2:
- Everyone's tryna get at us
- Stay wide-eyed and hide from the predators
- Generals, presidents, newspaper editors
- Television visuals acting like sedatives
- They wanna keep us high like pegasus
- We sip from their goblet of lies and live life like hedonists
- Signed on the dotted line since the genesis
- Taught that self-thought's the guise of the heretic
- Me and my kind, were the nemesis, nightmare
- Chinese whispers drifting in the night air
- Lace your nike airs, pop your skullys on
- All we got's each other once the moneys gone
- So come along, we'll ride the ghost network
- Phantoms in the machine, the flows expert
- I go head first into the maelstrom,
- Cause the eye of the storm is where I hail from
CHORUS:
- The nights are dark
- Down there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- When the violins start
- I'll be there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- Yeah, you might get scarred
- Down there where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
- And when life gets hard
- We run and hide where the wild things are
- (where the wild things are)
