That makes the most sense. Maybe Ghost likes to bid on Wall Street and Scotty Wotty gave him a inside tip on Copper ( a la Martha Stewart)

the only other interpretation as I see it was "copper-tipped me" meaning Scotty put his 2 cents in/ gave advice to Ghost, but the battery makes more sense, especially w/ Ghost referencing Duracell on BDIS & Mighty Healthy too regarding similar imagery

the easiest way to decipher Ghost's abstract period is to visualize the rhymes he's stating and then you'll see where the meaning lies...an example:

"scientific, my hand kissed it; robotic'lystic, optimistic"

visualize the line: what is a hand scientifically kissing something? sweet science: boxing, he's throwing jabs

'robotic'lystic' = would reference him being automatic with it, machine precise, maybe even a rock'em sock'em reference, also combining his Iron Man persona with the the Philly soul group's moniker, where they flipped their style to "Stylistic", Starks is "roboticlystic"

optimistic is obvious

"you prolly missed it, watch me dolly **** it"

it went over your heads, so now he's gotta take it slow, like ****ing a doll? I admit I get the intent but not the image on this one

"Scotty Watty copper-tipped me, big microphone hippie"

Scotty Watty was an MC from SI back when that Ghost credits as being a major influence. He "copper-tipped" him, Duracelled him, put the battery in Ghost's back, energized him, modivated him, etc... and he became a microphone hippie; loved the mic

"hit Poughkipsie, crispy chicken birds that work for Stone Richie"

he dipped out of the city to either get with or run some "crispy" girls that were in Stone Richie's stable? this is the other line I'm the least sure of

"chop the o, sprinkle a lil snow inside the optimo"

chop the ounce and sprinkle some cocaine inside the optimo blunt

"swing the John McEnroe"

tennis reference? run the racket like a pro

"rap, rock n roll, tidy bowl"

rap, rock, it's all the ****, flush it down, clean it out, drop another deuce

"gunhole pro, Starsky with the gumsole"

not just a gun expert, but a gunhole expert...mother****er is shooting you for sure, and he's a detective, flipping Starks to Starsky, ala Starsky & Hutch, & describing his gumsole aka gumshoe aka detective

"hit the rump slow"


duh

"parole kid: live Rapunzel"

what did Rapunzel do? let her hair down...Ghost is telling the kid on parole to relax and enjoy himself now that he's free and don't be all stressed out...in other words, let his hair down


"but Tone stizzy really high, the vivid lazer eye guide"

but Ghost's steeze is very high, as his red eye from puffing herb is like a lazer sight directing all the illness he bestows upon us

"jump in the Holly Rock, Clarks, I freak a lemon pie"



Krush Groove: Holly Rock


wearing yellow Wallos

"I'm bout it bout it, "lord forgive me" Miss Sally shouted, Tracy got shot in the face, my house was overcrowded, you fake cats done heard it first, on how I ****ted on your turf, halftime, Cuban Link verse yo: 'check out the rap kingpin, summertime, fine jewelery dripping',"

all straightforward

"face in your box, I seen your ear twitching"

double meaning as the listener's face is in the boombox and Ghost-Face is in the boombox

"soon as I drove off, Cap came to me with 3 sawed-offs, gave one to Rae, let's season their broth"

pretty basic

"lightning rod fever heaters"

tonz o gunz

"knock-kneed to Shiva for heav-a"

Not sure on the ending, but I always liked to think the image was begging to the destroyer for heaven, which Ghost mispronounced (unless anyone else hears it different).

"Viva got knocked from the reciever bleeder"

Ghost eliminated the life of dude who he shot

"portfolio, looking fancy in the pantry"

his rhymes are flavorful enough they stand out in the pantry

"my man got bigger dimes son, your **** is scampi"

your dimebags are shrimpy/small

"base that, put it to your mouth, don't waste that"

add coke to the weed and smoke it up right quick

"see Ghost lamping in the throne with King Tut hats"

and I think you get that image
