from Hip Hop is Read: the term “Swayze” (and, as a nod to his film, “going ‘Ghost’”) became popular in the early ‘90’s, employed as a synonym for “leaving”, “going” or “disappearing”.

Reach for the pistol and you’re crazy/
Try to blast and I’ll be swinging that ass like Patrick Swayze/
- Kool G Rap; “The Symphony Part II”

I’m sick, insane crazy, Driving Miss Daisy/
Out her fuckin’ mind now I got mine I’m Swayze/
- Method Man; “Bring the Pain”

You got me strung like I’m young and it’s crazy/
You’re making me nervous, I don’t deserve this, I’m Swayze/
- CL Smooth; “Searching”

The n****s went wild, the hoes went crazy/
We dropped the microphone, then we Swayze/
- E-Swift; “Can’t Tell Me Shit”

I try to stay aware of the drama, it’s crazy/
Plus, see I got to tell your mama that I’m Swayze/
- Dres (of Black Sheep); “Who’s Next?”

Then he was Swayze, the shot must’ve dazed me/
Thug’s selling drug, busting slugs, but he ain’t crazy/
- Big Noyd; “Right Back at You”

But now I’m Swayze, ghost, the rap host/
Who rip shows, from coast to coast/
- PMD; “It’s Going Down”

After it’s all said and done though, Biggie had the best “Swayze” quotes:

Lick your toes, bitch? Fuck no, you must be crazy/
Squirt in your face and then I’m Swayze/
- The Notorious B.I.G.; “Big Booty Hoes” & “Bust a Nut”

Commitments, I’m Swayze, no time for the ill shit/
Rest with the n****s on that real blood-spill shit/
- The Notorious B.I.G.; “Let Me Get Down” & “Living the Life”

That’s why I bust back, it don’t phase me/
When he drop, take his glock, and I’m Swayze/
- The Notorious B.I.G.; “Runnin’” & “Runnin’ (Dying to Live)”
