found this on the net, someone broke down "One" verses :wow:


Pull out this kite from this white bytch
Talking 'bout, "Dear Ghost, you the only ***** I know
Like when the cops come, you never hide your toast"
Guest starred in mad shyt, CBL, Ice Water metallic
Past tense placed in gold caskets
Dru Hill bytches, specialist lounging at the mosque
Suede kufi wrap, undercover dentist
Rhymes is made of garlic, never in the target when the NARCs hit
Rumor is you might start to spit


This part specifically is about a white girl who sent Ghostface mail (a kite) while he was in prison. She's basically letting him know why she admires him:

1) He's not afraid of police (Like when the cops come, you never hide your toast)
2) He has a lot of high-profile features including Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (CBL) (Guest starred in mad shyt, CBL, Ice Water metallic)
3) Those who cross him get put in the dirt (Past tense placed in gold caskets)
4) He has R&B chicks and he or said chicks can be seen lounging at the mosque (Dru Hill bytches, specialist lounging at the mosque)
5) He wears a Kufi but will fukk you up (Suede kufi wrap, undercover dentist)..undercover dentist meaning that he'll rearrange your grill, on the low)
#5 can also be referring to the "Dru Hill bytches". They wear kufis and chill at the mosque like the religious do, but also give fire head on the low (undercover dentist)
6) His rhymes can't be bitten (Rhymes is made of garlic) garlic...vampires...bite...

A-yo, crash through, break the glass, Tony with the goalie mask
That's the pass, heavy ice Roley laying on the dash


These are probably the most easily decipherable bars in the whole song.

Ghost is AKA "Tony Starks" and in his early days wore a hockey (goalie) mask when performing.
But that's the past, and now he wears a blinged out rolex that sits on his car dashboard.

dikking down Oprah, jumprope, David Dinkins
Watch the black mayor of DC hit the mocha
Tangerine sofa, two super soakers in the Rover


Ghost is brag-rapping, talking about smashing Oprah. In an earlier bar he rapped about smashing Nia Long too (run up on that Love Jones actress). The Oprah piece continues the theme. It seems Ghost wasn't a fan of David Dinkins, former mayor of NYC, and instead would rather jump(rope) him to Marion Barry, infamous mayor of D.C. known for freebasing with a prostitute on camera.

Tangerine sofa, two super soakers in the Rover

You should be reminded that this entire verse is braggadocio. Ghost is bragging about having a rare tangerine-colored sofa and 2 huge ass guns in his Range Rover. Typical rap shyt

Hit the sport's bar, tell a young lady to bend over
Meditated yoga, powder ball, dancing with the vulture


"Meditated yoga" is in reference to the young lady at the sports bar bending over. She's bending over like some serious meditated yoga.

Ghost used to wear this wild gold Eagle bracelet (google it) so that's what he's talking about in reference to "the vulture". It seems like he's saying he's dancing with the Eagle (vulture) on his wrist similar to how someone would look playing with a paddle ball (the eagle would show a flying motion)

Castor Troy laying for Travolta
Yo, switch the lingo, five-nine-seventy
God glow, seven fifteen four be ebony


The Castor Troy/Travolta Face Off movie reference is obvious
