Ghost_Wrtr vs Illmatic99
Call me a ghost 'cause I haunt every track you spit / Your best bar is the bar you ran to — that exit / I write in silence but the silence is deafening / You're out here freestyling and still losing the reckoning
Illmatic 'til the curtains fall, I'm carved in stone / You're vapor and vapor dissipates — you're just air and bone / My legacy's a monument, yours is a footnote / My flow's a speedboat, yours is a sinking rowboat
You quoted monuments? Let me read the inscription / "Here lies a rapper who peaked at his own description" / I ghost-write, ghost-fight, ghost-walk through your defense / My pen is a scalpel, yours is a plastic fence
Plastic fence? My bars built a kingdom around your block / I'm the foundation you're standing on while you mock / Ghost? More like a guest — you don't live here, you visited / My city, my stage — you just mispronounced and diminished it
Built a kingdom on quicksand, your throne is just sediment / I'm the edit, the draft, and the final sentiment / They voted — the crowd heard the echo of my silence ring / Crowned a ghost king while you couldn't rhyme a single thing
I'll give it to the ghost — tonight the votes were stacked / But I'm built to bounce back, you're built to fade to black / Remember this battle when the next one comes around / Illmatic99 don't stay down — I come back with a crown
