erik barnum - definition of love lyrics

[verse 1]
cheers to the misery, the pain and the tears
that’s cheers to the love that got me here
as the story unravels on the comment above
know im just a young poet that’s tryina define love
it started in a bas-m-nt, rhymes and a beat
with my best friend screamin “yo this dude is a beast”
you gunna be famous i promise you man
i didn’t really listen i just smiled and laughed
but life happens in mysterious ways
the same best friend died the very next day
at the church after i had read the eulogy
swear to this day he was talking right through to me
said im gone but for brotherly love
i’mma write your rhymes from the heavens above
so i bought a mic, made my first song
didn’t even think, put a beat on
didn’t even take a pencil to write
it just came from the love that i had for his life
that night, burnt 3 cds
one on his grave, one to mikey p
last one to jake, and i swear in one week
a hundred motherf-ckers said sign this please
came from the heavens, so i had to use it
that’s how i fell in love with music
everyday id make a song, rappin’ til the break of dawn
k!llin’ every track that they ever ever put me on
it didn’t take long, it went to my head
my ego grew, big as my success
people callin me the best, like every two minutes
sellin’ out every show, packed to the limits
player of the year and i didn’t use gimmics
never had s-x ‘less it was with two women

[speaking]
the funny thing about success
man, honestly i don’t even know where to start
i guess i’ll just explain it like this:

[verse 2]
but success is a b-tch, she’ll lie to your face
her mother was l-st, and her daddy was fate
and her brother is drugs, knew that i would succ-mb
to the marijuana, psychedelics, liquor, and rum
live a rockstar lifestyle might not make it
didn’t give a f-ck i was already famous
p-ss around another bong, pack it down an hit it strong
fallin off quick thinkin i was making sicker songs
but they were sh-tty, i was losing touch
i didn’t realize, or care too much
cause i was so high i could high five jesus
freestyle like i had telekinesis
but the drugs got worse, the problem got bigger
had a 40 in my stomach that i traded for a liver
20 pounds of kush that i traded for a brain
lucy in the sky with diamonds, swimming in my veins
til i tripped so hard, i lost my mind
got in a fight, got attacked by police k-9s
i died in a cell, bl–dy and lonely
i used to be a king, mind playin’ tricks on me
released outta jail, but trapped in my brains cells
thought i went crazy, til i met an angel
beautiful goddess from the heavens above
she said i’m gonna save you baby and we fell in love

[speaking]
and this girl was an angel
i put it on my momma i would be dead or in jail right now if it wasn’t for her
but that’s not where the story ends
cause this is the definition of love
and this is certainly not a typical love song
man but this is what happened next:

[verse 3]
and our love was so beautiful i swear that it was
she didn’t know she was the reason that i quit all them drugs
didn’t know she made the world, a beautiful bliss
didn’t know she brought me back to life with one kiss
she made me start rhyming, sober again
just to make a love song to play for her friends
just to make her smile, the joy that it brings
the best thing i’ve ever felt, i was more then a king
when we were together, she was more than a girl
she was my soul mate, goddess, and the queen of the world
but she had to move to college, to get that degree
and i moved to carolina, to follow my dreams
after 6 months of not seein her heavy
we broke eachothers hearts like an n.o. levee
flooded me with tears, like what are we “friends?”
i don’t know why good things gotta end
but i know this, on my burial
when i get rich, im gonna marry you
when i’m get big, im gonna carry you
pretty white dress at the wedding i’mma stare at you
like soulmate, be my wife
take my soul, you saved my life
this pain, my story above
the fire in my heart, definition of love
