Phantom Of The Afters Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, ho
Hey, ho
Hey, ho

[Verse 1]
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 is 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
Whilе I bent her booty backwards
Hmm
Maybe that's a lot for mе 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 brought that big arse just to keep a stick in it?
[Verse 2]
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
f*ck it, I just want to be me
f*ck it, I just want to be me

[Verse 3]
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
