[Verse 1]
Late bus stop
Got a book in my coat, stash in the sock
Mama prayin' in a chair till the stove turn off
I was learnin' how to lie while she talked to God

Whole block raised me
Old heads sayin' “Lil man, move safely”
Same dudes taught me how to bag that weight
Same dudes vanished when the cuffs got placed

[Chorus]
Life on the curb, that cold education
Concrete dreams, hard conversations
We laugh, we bleed, we run from the station
Tryna find peace in a war-time nation

[Verse 2]
First friend lost, it was broad day light
News truck came, then they carved that line
"Just another kid" on the lower screen crawl
Whole hood cried, they ain’t air that part

School hallway, metal on my waistband
Guidance counselor talkin' ‘bout a great plan
“How you see your future?” I see two streets
One with my name on a sign, one six feet

[Bridge]
We ain’t heartless
We just guarded, hungry, cautious
Pass that plate at the park bench office
This our church, our court, our August
Every scar, every charge, every promise
Still tryna turn this darkness honest
[Verse 3]
Used to count coins for the bus ride
Momma worked doubles, came home cross‑eyed
Fridge light, empty as my lunch line
Told me “be patient,” I was on grind
Cold floor
Sleeping in my coat like armor
Landlord banging on the door, want dollars
School hall, same shoes, same collars
Heart full of anger, head full of scholars



[Chorus]
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (oh)
Every ring, every buzz, deja vu
Try to wipe the screen, but you bleed right through
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (all you)

I got ghosts in my phone and they call on loop
Every "maybe later" just feels like proof
You ain’t here, still you haunt my truth
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (yeah)

[Verse 4]
Cold eyes
Steel posture
Heart locked in a crate
Love left
Fear stayed
Now hunger my date

Dead phone
Few numbers
Most burned
Some blocked
Loyalty went missing
Last seen on the clock

Teeth grit
Fists ready
Shadow long on the wall
Can’t cry
Can't break
Just answer that call

My sins on my shoulders
Wear guilt like a coat
Can’t sing
So I spit
Put gravel in my throat

[bridge]
Concrete classroom, learned from the hard knocks
OG said “keep your circle tighter than a padlock”
I was in the bathroom, carving on the stall door
“Get rich or die trying?” I just wrote “don’t starve”
[Bridge]
Head down, hoodie low, pulse racing
Every corner feel like a cross, like a grave shifting
If I fall, who gon’ carry what I built, huh
If I call, who gon’ answer in the filth, huh

[Verse 5]
Scrollin' through the past like a feed I hate
Old texts, unsent, all the things too late
My name in your mouth when the scene got cold
Now I'm iced to the touch, but the heart still bold

Late night, same room, but the space feels strange
Every corner of the crib got your name engraved
You said "forever," then you left on read
Left your hoodie on the chair like a spare regret

[Chorus]
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (yeah)
Every ring, every buzz, deja vu
Try to wipe the screen, but you bleed right through
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (like you)

I got ghosts in my phone and they call on loop
Every "maybe later" just feels like proof
You ain’t here, still you haunt my truth
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you

[Verse 6]
New name, same number when the hurt drop in
You a contact I should block, but the will too thin
Friends say, "Move on," they ain't lived my script
They ain't seen how a simple little "seen" can hit

I hit play on a voicemail, heart skip, then crash
You laugh in my ear, then it cuts to static
I could smash this screen, still you'd stay inside
In the cracks, in the glass, in the quiet of my pride

[Chorus]
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (oh)
Every ring, every buzz, deja vu
Try to wipe the screen, but you bleed right through
I got ghosts in my phone, they all sound like you (all you)
