Hop outside a Ghost and hop up in a Phantom Tecca told Genius that he is saying: "I got everything, both ends of the spectrum. Purple, green, red, yellow, black, white, everything. You know? It's like nothing I can't do. You know what I mean? All types of flavors, everything. I got everything. I can trap rap, I can sing, I can rock, everything."
