" Twelve Reasons to Die, the new album from Ghostface Killah out today, is his manifesto, detailing the legend of Ghostface. It&amp;#039;s a story of betrayal, murder, and rebirth. Here is the track-by-track breakdown of what it all means from Rap Genius, the smartest guys in the hip-hop game.  1. &amp;quot;Beware of the Stare&amp;quot; Ghost is back. Bringing the fire and violence that made Killah a standout member of the Clan from the beginning, he seems himself as a cold killer. 2. &amp;quot;Rise of the Black Suits&amp;quot;* The &amp;quot;black suits&amp;quot; follow few street rules to get cash. In a world where drugs rule, violence is normal and anything goes. Thankfully, Ghost is the top player. 3. &amp;quot;I Declare War&amp;quot; (Feat. Masta Killa, RZA)*      Backed by Wu-Tang disciple Masta Killa, Ghost brings back persona Tony Starks to do business. Ready to &amp;quot;go to war&amp;quot; to make it out on top, the two plan to take down everyone for cash.  4. &amp;quot;Blood on the Cobblestones&amp;quot; (Feat. U-God, Inspectah Deck)        Civil war strikes the streets in the battle of Starks versus De Lucas. Backed by classic rappers Inspectah Deck and U-God, Ghost brings the heat, threatening to leave nobody standing.  5. &amp;quot;The Center of Attraction&amp;quot; (Feat. Cappadonna) Ghost reflects and sees his life in balance. Cappadonna tries to talk down Ghost&amp;#039;s loving talk, but Killah is reminded of his Clan. Cappadonna expects Ghost to be betrayed by his own. 6. &amp;quot;Enemies All Around Me&amp;quot; (Feat. William Hart) The title says it all \u2014 even in the family, you can&amp;#039;t trust everyone. Watching his back and his friends for any signs of trouble, Ghost keeps his enemies as close as possible, waiting for them to expose their intentions and pay the price. As it turns out, Ghost&amp;#039;s own girl sets him up. 7. &amp;quot;An Unexpected Call (The Set Up)&amp;quot; (Feat. Inspectah Deck) Set up by his girl, Starks finds himself held hostage and betrayed. Fighting his fictional enemy De Lucas, Ghost&amp;#039;s fate is left up to luck. The painful and dark interlude sounds like a crime-noir novel.  8. &amp;quot;The Rise of the Ghostface Killah&amp;quot; (Feat. RZA)*        De Lucas ends up murdering Ghostface, but as RZA narrates, the story is far from over. Reincarnated on vinyl, the Killah returns to seek revenge. Destroying all who put him down, little remains of his enemies by the time the track ends. 9. &amp;quot;The Catastrophe&amp;quot; (Feat. Masta Killa, Killa Sin) With Ghost back in action, the struggle turns into a full &amp;quot;catastrophe,&amp;quot; with men dying, kings falling, and the once punished seeking retribution. Ghost leads the charge, continuing to prove why he always made the Clan shine.  10. &amp;quot;Murder Spree&amp;quot; (Feat. U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, Killa Sin)*        What better way to detail the ways that Ghost can kill you than have part of the Wu-Tang Clan break them down? Joined by disciples U-God, Masta Killa, and Inspectah Deck, along with longtime Wu-affiliate Killa Sin, Ghost sports an army of lyrical firepower. Willing to torture, dismember, or quickly eliminate an enemy, the Clan know their way to a funeral.  11. &amp;quot;The Sure Shot (Parts 1 &amp;amp;amp; 2)&amp;quot;* The immortal Ghostface rises from the dead, now a legend of the night. As quick to kill on the mic as he is with his gun, Ghost leaves nobody alive. Comparisons to a lion, Jesus, and God make the point: He&amp;#039;s spiritually in command.  12. &amp;quot;12 Reasons to Die&amp;quot; (Feat. RZA)* A ghost story told by none other than RZA, &amp;quot;12 Reasons to Die&amp;quot; is a perfect close. Even though the story ends as Ghostface disappears, his legend and memory haunt the night for years after. *Rap Genius editor&amp;#039;s pick. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
