Earl confirmed in a tweet that GHOST, featuring Navy Blue, was a track on the deluxe version of his 2019 EP, FEET OF CLAY.
The track was only available for vinyl and CD versions of the EP at first. It was later released on streaming services along with the full deluxe album.
[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, pree the plot, you never seen me ghost
Uh, uh, see me ghost
[Verse: Navy Blue]
Know four years later, know I got better
Praise to my God, that armor all metal
Iron sword, know my spirits gon' get on, huh
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
[Pre-Chorus: Earl Sweatshirt]
Nah, true indeed, you never see the scope
Every which way the ouija 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, pree the plot, you never see me ghost
Uh, uh, see me ghost
