Verse 1
Yeah, look, brrr)
Pull up on the block, got the bag, gotta pack it (pack it!)
Designer costume on, yeah, I'm rocking the jacket (let's go!)
Out after dark, no phone in my pocket
Looking for the king-size bars, gotta lock it (woo!)
Candy cane lane, hit the step, hit the doorbell
TikTok live, let the whole world know well
They don't want smoke, no tricks, no cap
Just drop the Reese's right into the lap (ay, ay!)
Got the ice on my neck like a vampire bite (vamp!)
We running the streets, we owning the night (skrrt!)
From the old-school souls to the new-school digital
The hustle for the sweets is getting completely clinical (facts!)
Skittles and Starburst, I mix it, I flip it
The bag is too heavy, I'm about to go grip it
We don't do the turnips, we don't do the prayers
We stacking the wrappers in double-decker layers (let's go!)
Yeah, the history is deep, but the pace is too fast
From the ghost of the future to the ghost of the past (turn up!)
Chorus
It's a bridge through the ages, it's a shift in the culture,
Moving from a ghost to a consumerist vulture.
But beneath the commercial, the mystery stays,
We're still walking in the dark mimicking the old ways...
Verse 2
Look at the scale of it, look at the revenue,
Billions of dollars, they buying out everything,
Walking the avenue, flooding the residential,
Out with the family, keeping it traditional.
Got the designer bags, looking for king-sized,
Snickers and Reese's, the focus is tunnel-minds.
Cosplay, anime, horror film, movie star,
TikTok is tracking the fit from a-near and far.
Yeah we globalised, yeah we maximized,
From a Celtic tribe to a franchise.
No more soul cakes, got the sugar rush,
Hit the pavement hard till the mornings crush.
Glow sticks flashing, the energy sky-high,
Spooky season booming, we watch the supply fly.
From the dust of the past to the trap of today,
That's how the holiday blew up and came to stay!
Bridge
Hold up, look at the transition, look at the change,
How a ritual of survival grew so corporate and strange.
We went from hiding from the ghosts in the shadows and the mist,
To checking candy wrappers just to see what we missed.
Chorus
It's a bridge through the ages, it's a shift in the culture,
Moving from a ghost to a consumerist vulture.
But beneath the commercial, the mystery stays,
We're still walking in the dark mimicking the old ways...
Outro
(Look at the transition, look at the change,
How a ritual of survival grew so corporate and strange....)
