the ghost at number one

ugly apparition

god's gift to oxygen

the puffed up immortal son

how they love him 'cause he'll become

the ghost at number one

to be the only one?

to be the only one that knows that you're right?

to be a loaded gun?

inside a chamber packed with piss and spite?

sure life's no cherry but a cupcake for the meek

so he shoots up his poison

until the frosting tastes so sweet

yeah

he's givin' it all he's got

the king of rebels hit the jackpot

but his finish line was an artistic flop

yeah

even the critics can't outrun

the ghost at number one

to be the only one?

to be the only one that knows that you're right?

to be a chalk line dollar sign

up at the address all the widows will write?

mrs. lynn

the fruit of your labor

gives us a savior

nappy superstar

to you we bid congratulations

to him adulation

a blessed life begun for the ghost at number one

to be the only one?

to be the only one that knows that you're right?

to be a visionary poet

to pack a pen with vinegar and insight

to be the only one?

to be the only one that knows that you're right?

to be a so deep down underground?

to be the only one who knows you've been buried alive?

mrs. lynn the fruit of your labor

gives us a savior

mrs. lynn the fruit of your labor

gives us a savior
