Story Behind the Song
This is how alot of UK unsigned rappers feel I'm sure. I just decided to put it into a song, give it an eerie vibe and just go with some tight lyrics over it.
Lyrics
Intro x1 (Quiet):
...Have you heard my name?-
...Can you match it with a face?-
...You don't hear a fuckin sound-
...Cause I'm a ghost of the underground-
Verse 1:
Picture perfect, pin-point the next target-
The lost soul left to resurrect a dead market-
...Left damaged, that's all of my foes-
I ain't goin to your show unless you roll a red carpet-
Half-wits, blast and dis-respectin Respect-
I put a "Z" on their chest, from the feather pen lashes-
Discussin issues, you think you're sick? Prove it-
I got two fists, one for the mic, and one to hit you-
Mis-use my shit, c'mon I double-dare you-
I think you're in the wrong game if fame and trouble scares you-
Not me, you want beef I got beats-
Spit a drop each, you want peace I got weed-
This is pulp fact, I'll give another rapper one rap-
Melt him with spit, then give his next of kin his skull back-
Run around lookin for BA's shit-
But I'm still nameless, I'm a ghost of the underground-
Hook x2:
(RespectBA) Have you heard my name?-
(RespectBA) Can you match it with a face?-
(RespectBA) You don't hear a fuckin sound-
(RespectBA) Cause I'm a ghost of the underground-
Verse 2:
Give me a quick second, I'll dispense the sick venom-
You contradict yaself, like Eminem in Pink denim-
The pendulum's swingin, slingin slick English-
Twisted MC, against me ya shit's dim lit-
Bring it, gather all your family and friends-
Ya enemies, employees, rappers that are dead-
Workmates, girlfriends, anyone that's dissed you-
I'm a one-man army ya fuckin cunt, I'll still rip you-
Blitz you, I'm droppin all my bombs now-
So explosive, every last rapper catches fallout-
Against the grain, I'm takin aim at these lame tunes-
Say I ain't hip hop? You ever seen us in the same room?-
Rapid rap, in my saliva there's a static spark-
March in packs, like the raptors in Jurrassic Park-
Who is RespectBA? I bet you wonder now-
Kaiser Soze, another ghost of the underground-
Hook x2:
(RespectBA) Have you heard my name?-
(RespectBA) Can you match it with a face?-
(RespectBA) You don't hear a fuckin sound-
(RespectBA) Cause I'm a ghost of the underground-
Verse 3:
Mind ya buiseness, equipped with tighter physics-
Paint pictures with words, like I write in hyroglyphics-
My brain's a chamber, I'm darin ya to pull it-
If ya do you're foolish, every word is a bullet-
Penetratin reputations, yeah I'm hatin-
I'm either pissed off, angry, outraged or levatatin-
Never statin the obvious, I'm an observer-
Murder on wax, the baddest rap you ever heard of-
I got some more shit, I know you're not bored yet-
Don't keep ya ear to streets, keep ya ear to my doorstep-
Wack rap genocide, Respect pens a rhyme-
Learnin Curve level high, gettin better every time-
Use knowledge of launguage as a rapper to cause carnage-
Always finish the job, like a coat of gloss varnish-
Harmless? Hardly. My words are causin trouble now-
Turn around, ya see the ghost of the underground-
Hook x2:
(RespectBA) Have you heard my name?-
(RespectBA) Can you match it with a face?
(RespectBA) You don't hear a fuckin sound-
(RespectBA) Cause I'm a ghost of the underground-
Outro Until End:
...Have you heard my name?-
...Can you match it with a face?-
...You don't hear a fuckin sound-
...Cause I'm a ghost of the underground-
