About Holy Ghost (feat. Joe Fox)

This song interpolates the Coen brothers movie O Brother, Where Art Thou (2000) and makes use of strong religious imagery. The Holy Ghost is a title for the third figure in the Holy Trinity described in Christianity. He is also known as the Holy Spirit. Note that the album title is a play on the word ‘Allah’, the Islamic title for God. The central theme of the song is the corruption of institutionalized religion. Rocky refutes the necessity of such institutions, asserting that he is fine communicating with God on his own. .

Holy Ghost (feat. Joe Fox) Lyrics

[00:01.05] Ay, I have a message from the Most High that says
[00:05.01] "This negra kept his soul from the Devil"
[00:10.03] It's true, I guess I mean, wait a minute now
[00:14.52] Is your people really that God damn ign'ant? Really? Really?
[00:21.43]
[00:23.75] Church bells and choir sounds, tell 'em, "Quiet down"
[00:27.22] Bow your head, the Most High's around cocktails
[00:30.16] Guys and gals miss me, ties and gowns happen now
[00:32.90] My attire sells, how you tryna sound? Stop it now
[00:36.59] They ask me why I don't go to church no more
[00:39.15] Cause church is the new club and wine is the new bub
[00:42.38] And lies is the new drugs
[00:43.89] My sister the next stripper, my brother the next victim
[00:47.05] My usher the next tricker
[00:48.74] Satan givin' out deals, finna own these rappers
[00:51.74] The game is full of slaves and they mostly rappers
[00:55.14] You sold your soul first, then your homies after
[00:58.14] Let's show these stupid field niggas they could own they masters
[01:01.48] Holy smokes, I think my pastor was the only folk
[01:04.54] To own the Rollie, Ghost and Rolls Royces with no Holy Ghost
[01:07.71] And get your shit prepared, face your fears, all you niggas scared
[01:10.77] Say your prayers, pray he fit upstairs, it's our only hope
[01:14.33] Church bells and choir sounds, tell 'em, "Quiet down"
[01:17.32] Bow your head, the Most High's around, Lord
[01:20.94] (These things are not right, these things is not right
[01:24.76] Hell, nobody's ever defined)
[01:26.87] The pastor had a thing for designer glasses
[01:29.99] Yeah, I'm talkin' fancy plates and diamond glasses
[01:33.08] The ushers keep skimmin' the collection baskets
[01:36.12] And they tryna dine us with some damn wine and crackers
[01:39.62] Who's more important than your Lord and Saviour?
[01:42.18] Won't let the pearly gates up in this
[01:43.78] Probably do that on your poor behavior
[01:45.70] My mentor got a couple tips to save ya

[01:51.56] Uh, every night I stayed up sayin' prayer, made me greater, uh
[01:55.13] Let's savior chasin' green for collard greens and baked potatoes
[01:58.16] On the table, pray for cable, hit the label, now we major
[02:01.42] Ha, I got my own relationship with God, Lord
[02:04.95] Holy ghost, I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
[02:17.16] Holy ghost, you're all I need, you're all I need
[02:29.98] Holy ghost, I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
