Main - The Lightskin Lantern 3 Lyrics

And now, ladies and gentlemen, from Louisville, Kentucky, wearing black tie
Mr. Cassius Marcellus Clay
For his first reading, Mr. Clay, will honor us with a restoration from his classic poem
'I Am The Greatest'
Yeah
Came in with guitar
Girl you know I've gotten far
Since day one, man, felt like I was on the run
Tryna find you
And then I got you but I lost you
But it wasn't my fault
Don't know what to do
I got Young Sinatra drums
This last year has been so long
Girls come and gone, yet I still can't move on
From you, my boo, so come on
Why am I still talking about you
I probably don't even occur to you
I probably don't come up on your mind
But you know you still do
The only reason I say this is cause
I wrote this shit in June
No lie I wrote this shit in June
No lie I wrote this shit in June
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
'Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff la
Life's a bitch and then you die
There's nothing more to it
So distracting ourselves
Is the only way through it
And I thought I could do it, but I can't
So I gave up thinking that
My live was even worth it man
I just thought I wasn't worth it
And then my soul I just hurt it
Tryna' love you, tryna' love you, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
While I sit here rapping about the love game
Rappers out here rapping about all their fame
And even if I don't make it, I just want the fans to know
That I'm gonna sell out the show
And once I do then I can go
Move on to some other shit
And once I write the hit
That will be just it, then I'm done
My life is done, I can move on
To the next chapter of my life
To the next chapter of my life
Lifes a bitch and then you die
There's nothing more to it
So distracting ourselves is the only way through it, way through it
Way through it, through it, through it, through it, through it, through it
Girls have been distracting my judgement in life
Wish I knew why all this shit be feeling so right
Even if it's wrong, I'm not able to move on
You're the one for me in the long haul, the long run
I remember we use to always have fun
Staying up all night on the phone
Going out on little dates not going at a slow rate
Till one day I got the saddest shit come in my way
You ended it with me
And holy shit that messed with me
Messed with my heart, messed with my soul and my mind
Yet I love how you don't mind
Talking about your man's right to my face
I just hope you know that I'm your fate, nah
