PHANTOM OF THE AFTERS

Hey, ho Hey, ho Hey, ho Late nights and belly laughter Nearly made a baby with you that night on your mattress You said you were ready, life been coming at me backwards Had to let you go, I wasn't ready for the challenge Lately all I dream about if happy ever after I know that patience is a virtue Maybe if I prayed to him the Lord would get some to me faster Phantom of the afters My life got no direction I'm just tryna bag an actress Who'd let me roll a backwoods off her booty While I bent her booty backwards Hmm Maybe that's a lot for me to ask but Kicked outta more gaffs Than half of you have probably ever been asked to Big bag of cans in my hand's, a disaster Kicked outta more beds than you probably ever been in And not for eatin' biscuits Can't help but take the piss with Boring ass people talkin' other people's business You bought that big arse just to keep a stick in it? Your life is mundane, don't make me the eye witness Most the people that I been with probably tell ya I'm a dipshit I always been a misfit Never felt I fit in Rather be myself than be someone to link and build with Clout's the real sickness I used to lust for fame and glory Used to see it in my sleep But most the famous people that I met Been boring or a creep And all that shit didn't make me happy Gave me secrets I had to keep Now I keep it plain and simple All I want to be is me If that gets me to a mansion Or a cult like Charles Manson Or the circus, then I'll have to learn to love to be freak The show must go on I got too many mouths to feed People come and go from out your life But know that love don't ever leave And when they put me in the ground Just promise that you're gonna sing about me Promise that you're gonna sing about me I won't stop until they're screaming DC Little Jackie on the back of all these I just want to be free Fuck it, I just want to be me Fuck it, I just want to be me I left the country with a suitcase and a dream To be the very biggest name my little country's ever seen There's a name that still remains inside my brain when I'm asleep But the one that it belongs to don't got time to wait for me I mean your life is moving on, I understand, it's bitter sweet Did so much of this for you And the two of us will probably never be That's how it goes, I made a choice and now I have to make my peace By the time you hear this, it be ancient history But I'm history in the making, ain't ya heard of destiny? Picked a place up on the wall to hang a platinum plaque or three When that day comes, if me and you still have to make up Promise that you'll sing about me
