Look at this old as dude trying to spit like he’s still got it. He needs to hang it up. What a disgrace to hiphop. The album will flop for sure. RIP Wu Tang.
Im trying so hard to ignore this troll…
Kill yourself for the bullshit you said.
go to sleep
Dick Ross is like 48 man, stop it, you hiphop-hater, country songs listener.
Rick Ross has his hands on the pulse of the people. He’s all over the radio, performing at sold-out stadiums and all in the club. Ghostface hasn’t produced any material that people actually wanna hear since the 90s.
Everything you say is bullshit.
apollo brown so lucky
hes blowing up fast
not luck , talent
i new it would come out eventually
i cant fucking wait yo
Do you have enough lube and Ghostface posters to hold you over till the album drops?
^^ look who’s talking..
nope
cant wait for the doom project either
It’s mind-boggling the heart wants it, the mind rejects it
Fuck the past, let’s put the present in perspective
That’s my lady, she would never back-stab or cross me
Stand butt-naked in the storm, sippin’ the frosty
Force me to choose, I’mma follow my heart
She was there from the beginning, but I tore ’em apart
No more Delucas, straight Killa Bee on the swarm
And when it’s time to get big, she put her game face on
GFK
dentaldamboy thnks he cool
He is.
He’s not.
if id known it was gonna be released a week after 12 reason to die i probably wouldnt have bought that $60 collectors pak with the brown tape cassette.
Jesus Apollo Christ! This murders the already great original version on so many levels – really getting a glorious throwback vibe from this one, feels like listening to Cuban Linx for the first time again. Immediate buy!
Co Sign
Everything about rick ross is fake! You must be 19 years old..
Rick Ross would have done a much better job over these average beats
That’s a joke, right?
Fuck Soul Temple Records. They still haven’t shipped my album yet, and a lot of people who bought The Man with the Iron Fists deluxe bundle from them still haven’t recieved theirs, and it was supposed to ship all the way back in October.
Fuck Soul Temple Records. I warn you, DO NOT buy from them. You will get ripped off.

just pre-ordered my vinyl and if it never comes fuck it cause they just gave me a high quality audio download instantly. i knew these guys would come through considering the demand for it. thanks for being quick about it! i do feel kinda bad cause now all those special orders seem a bit less “special”

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry – Brown Tape > 12R2D
Ghost Deni!!!!
Yo, it’s Tone Starks the don, the face of a killer
The voice of the past and presence, I speak thrillers
Rock the purple robe, crush them with 24 karat gold
The chain is chunky like the neck of a monkey
Glass slipper, my wallows is made from lion skin
King of the jungle, ain’t shit about me humble
Rock a black panther hoodie, nigga, made from panther skin
I’m black on the outside and black within
The hood superhero, the motherfucking Don Dada
The Don Wilson, nigga, I do what I gotta
I’m a boss, them DeLucas trying to front on my skin tone
I left the fam to start a fam of my own
A black Italiano, big pinky rings from Sicily
I move like the don of the fam, its officially
War time Starky, on some black avengers
Shadowboxing with killers that move like ninjas
[Hook: Ghostface Killah]
I declare war, war on De Lucas
Bulletproof jet planes, nigga, you can’t shoot us
Can’t stop my reign or terrorize the power
Tony Starks, new king of this crown, y’all better cowar
War, war on De Lucas
Bulletproof jet planes, nigga, you can’t shoot us
Can’t stop my reign or terrorize the power
Tony Starks, new king of this crown, y’all better cowar
[Verse 2: Masta Killa]
I’m prepared to go to war for the battle of supremacy
There’s nothing now to remedy this decision
The only thing left is the loyalty of the family
Cause once we establish the power they gone turn sour
And use everything in their power to shut us down
We’ve come to far to turn around Tone
Got a new connect, Don Stone
Flew his private jet from Rome to talk business
He heard about your crime saga poems looking to invest millions
It’s up to you Tone, this move can make us both rich
The crew is on cocked and ready to rock steady
It’s non-stop hustling, flow of their own casino
RZA Tarantino
It’s Wu Gambino for life, you know how we go
And to the last death blow, mi amigo
[Hook]
[Outro: RZA]
Born into a world with violence, death and destruction surrounding him at every turn. Tony Starks took control of his own destiny and expired to become one of the foremost leaders of the criminal underworld. Regardless of his will, and the ability to run the streets with invincibility, there were still those who chose to stand in his way.
[Verse 1]
Beware, son, I got the stare of Medusa
With the rope tied around your neck, it won’t get looser
I might shoot ya, make your ass an example
You can’t fuck with Tony Starks, get knocked, get trampled
Get hunted like a rat in a field, I hate that
Hate fake ass niggas that love to set traps
Murder the don, I’m back with a bird on my arm
Back to pillage, I rock a live grenade as a charm
I want bodies, DeLucas, spread into the waters
I want mothers and sons, I wanna murder their daughters
Revenge, all I see is blood in my eyes
Like the rise of your worst nightmare come alive
Ghostface Killah, let’s see who’s gonna survive
[Hook]
He spares no one
He’s not forgotten, cause he was somewhere
[Verse 2]
Yo, look away, don’t stare into the eyes of a killer
Metal lungies, junkies, nigga, I pack the nine millers and thrillers
Bulletproof robes and wave caps
Revenge more, nigga, you know Ghost gone stay strapped
Hunt them down in alphabetical order
Each person that crossed me, watch the man slaughter
The butcher, the baker, the torturer, the taker
I’mma send you right back to your maker
A few extra holes, miss your soul sold to the devil
It’s the rebirth of a slave brought back as a rebel
I’m immortal, gonna kill generations of your fam
You tried to loathe my legacy away, but I stand stronger
GFK, the pain prolonger
I formed a crew, niggas straight tell me I’m slippin’
I’m the boss of the fam, I need to watch my position
Bitches are sneaky, triflin’, and not to be trusted
A weak link in the team, in the chain will get busted
Don’t trust her, love is for suckas
Too many enemies is out there son, tryin’ to bring the ruckus
Keep a tight circle, don’t let her rain on your parade
Keep doin’ what we’re doin’, gettin’ money and gettin’ paid
It’s mind-boggling the heart wants it, the mind rejects it
Fuck the past, let’s put the present in perspective
That’s my lady, she would never back-stab or cross me
Stand butt-naked in the storm, sippin’ the frosty
Force me to choose, I’mma follow my heart
She was there from the beginning, but I tore ’em apart
No more Delucas, straight Killa Bee on the swarm
And when it’s time to get big, she put her game face on
[: Ghostface Killah]
Medusa stare, my guns bust in silence
I’m a black vigilante killer, pro violence
It’s the rebirth, born again
Rise through the vinyl spin
They took out Starks but the light shines within
It’s the almighty rise of the murderous Ghostface
Bodies dropped in Owls, left a cold case
Colombian neckties from a black Gambino
Bodies get dumped in the black El Camino
It’s Reno, gangster wars, money, power, respect
Revenge is felt like the heat from a tec
Tommy guns are irrelevant, I’m bulletproof now
I could fly through the air and duck your chick-a-pow
Black superhero, crime boss arch nemesis
Good vs. Evil since the first book of Genesis
Battle to the end that’s the way of the thriller
And Starks is reborn as the Ghostface KILLAH
No one could get iller
[Hook]
Murders, bodies chopped into ziplocks
Kill or be killed on these cobblestone street blocks
Crime boss, I call warn the DeLucas
Watch my eyes turn red, I got a squad full of shooters
Murder, murder, kill, kill, kill
When the gas start to hum I put the spark to your grill
[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
Late night, stuck in the limo
Hogtie the capo all up,
Beheaded the driver
Left the bitch in the back with no tongue as the survivor
Raw dog, spit in her mouth, disappear in a swarm of killer bees
Cripple ’em from they knees, take they legs out (Nigga you know the steez!)
I’m a nighthawk, eagle eye, power of mind control
Faster than the speed of light, you catch a big hole
Ruthless, six bodies hung in the meat room
The butcher shop, I call it the body shop
Start from the bottom, killin’ all the way to the top
Carve my name in your skin, pull a stocking mask over your face for recognition
No time for remission, attack till there’s no one left in the position
The return of the worst case scenario, uh
Ghostface attacks on land and now aerial
[Hook]
fuck my life, this shit is mad ill.
dope now leak detox
