Ghoul Lyrics – Ken Carson

Ghoul Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Ken’s just setting the vibe with a shoutout to Pi’erre Bourne, the producer. The repeated “huh” sounds are just part of the song’s rhythm and energy.

[Verse]
He starts off talking about how he’s always moving forward in life—no looking back or dwelling on the past. Then he brags about his lifestyle, basically saying no one’s girl or outfit can compete with what he’s got. When he mentions the model girl asking for “the line,” he’s likely hinting at drügs, not a drink, adding to the wild, chaotic tone of his lifestyle.

Next, he’s in New York, feeling so influential that he could make the city “Harlem Shake,” which is a nod to both a dance and his ability to stir things up. He claims he’s one of the best, literally saying he’s in the top two but not number two—so, the top dog. His watch is iced out with diamonds, and he flexes how clean he is legally, like even if there’s a case against him, they’ll drop it ’cause there’s no proof.

He doesn’t see anyone else as real competition—they’re just obstacles in his way. Then he talks about how money changes people, saying some folks would do anything just to get paid. He throws in a memory from 2015, where someone would do anything just for Bape (a popular streetwear brand), showing how hype and desperation around style isn’t new.

He calls out people for trying to copy his swag but lacking real taste or authenticity. Their style doesn’t fit in with his world. He might roll up in a luxury Maybach, and if someone tries to flex their girl, he probably already knows her. That line shows how deep his connections go.

Then he talks about buying Wock (short for Wockhardt, a brand of codeine) in bulk, like it’s a regular purchase. He mentions having court but still dressing fresh in black slacks, with illegal stuff in his bag—hinting at how he’s constantly riding the line between luxury and danger. The line about sacking your quarterback is him saying he and his crew can take down your leader—classic trap talk.

When he says he ordered “one-on-one,” he means custom stuff—he doesn’t do basic. And when he says he’s got a bunch of girls, it’s like he’s hoarding them. Then he describes one who’s really slim but still attractive, showing appreciation for a different body type than the usual mainstream preference.

He doesn’t care about people who don’t support him. If you’re not on his side, forget you. Then there’s a violent line about slicing someone up like cold cuts—gritty and dark, showing his aggressive side. He calls other guys “squirrels,” saying they’re always on someone else’s business (nuts), clowning on their behavior.

The world feels like a game or simulation to him, and he’s in control. Then he describes a girl wearing designer glasses and compares her to Sarah Palin—probably just a random name drop to match the aesthetic. He says he came from nothing, but he’s not Jalen Rose (who’s known for overcoming challenges)—he’s carving his own path.

He scores big, like dropping 81 points in a game (Kobe reference), and screams “Kobe” every time he succeeds. He’s always working—no breaks, no distractions. That includes people he used to be close with who now act soft or disloyal. For him, making music and shopping are habits, part of the lifestyle now.

He’s clear that everything he does has purpose—nothing’s accidental. He stands firm on what he says, like his lyrics are facts. One of his friends is even pressing fake pills, which is shady but shows how far people go to make money. He throws in fashion brands like Puma and FENTY, staying connected to style trends.

If someone claims a block, his crew might “spin it,” meaning they’ll come through and possibly cause trouble. He plays the smooth gentleman around fine women but still calls out his ex for spying on him—she needs to move on. He’s done caring about old flings.

He’s decked out in jewelry, fancy cars, and clothes. When he says “won by fatality,” it’s a Mortal Kombat reference—he completely defeats his opponents, no mercy. Then he flips that line toward a girl, too. The bubblegum line is a wild metaphor for being in her mouth a lot, then he brags about dunking on someone’s girl like LeBron James.

He’s younger than LeBron, but he still dominates. A girl likes how he smells and wants to know what cologne he uses. Then he takes a jab at other rappers, saying they haven’t been hot since the pandemic. When he was nineteen during COVID, he had a Glock-19, tying the virus name to his gun.

He doesn’t even want a certain girl anymore—he’ll let the team handle it. He’s deep into drügs like Percocets and lean, showing he’s caught up in that scene, even though he knows some relationships are a waste of time. He’s focused on growing his music catalog, going for gold and platinum records. That’s all he’s chasing right now.

He says this project is real, not just for show, and he’s out here serving codeine to addicts, showing the darker side of his world. He shops high-end, beyond fancy stores like Sak’s, and rocks OG Jordans in Chicago (The Raq), staying connected to street culture.

[Outro]
He ends by repeating that he’s dressed in all black, keeping the vibe low-key, sleek, and maybe even a little menacing—like he’s always ready for whatever.
