Hand-Me-Down Hash

[Chorus]
Got your ghost in my hand-me-down hash, Remi
Same cold flicker when the system gon' crash, hear me?
It's the source in the blood, it's the bug in the code
Got your ghost in my hand-me-down hash, watch it load

[Verse 1]
The rust on the latch of your screen door off Niskey Lake
Got me thinking 'bout the architecture of a single mistake
Saw that photo from '87, the one from the cookout at Adams Park
Granddad starin' past the lens, a signal flare in the dark
And the way that he held his left hand, thumb tucked in, a nervous glitch
It’s the same damn twitch I get before I burn a bridge, Remi, it’s a switch
"Boy, you got his exact quiet," is what you said to me last week in the heat
It's a kernel error passed down through the bloodline of the street

[Chorus]
Got your ghost in my hand-me-down hash, Remi
Same cold flicker when the system gon' crash, hear me?
It's the source in the blood, it's the bug in the code
Got your ghost in my hand-me-down hash, watch it load

[Verse 2]
This ain't memory, it's a script runnin' hot in the background process
A recursive loop of logic that my therapist can't access
It's the latency in my answers, the reason I stare at the phone
It's the zoning ordinance in my bones that says to build alone
This family tree's a load-bearing wall with a hairline fracture, plain to see
A deprecated function call from him to my father to me
They're paving over Cascade, sayin' progress is the motive, I get it
But you can't patch the foundation if the concrete itself inherited it

[Outro]
Same hash. Same crash.
Yeah. The same crash.
