Cigarettes

Man, I love this rap game mainly 'cuz it's cool

To add a little spice to the life you've been through

Everyone exaggerates, a tiny little bit

Make that shit sound more gangster than it really is

You can't appear weak, man, we wanna hear street

We wanna hear you spit your thug over this here beat

Don't take it as sarcastic, I can't get enough

I'm tellin' you, you can call my bluff

If it's not rough, then I really don't need it

I'm not even ashamed

I got too much reality that's fillin' up my brain

So sell me on that product, I'm addicted to the game

Suck it up like a cigarette, light it up

It's just like a cigarette, it's somethin' that I do

Once in a while but, between me an' you

It's just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled

I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fuckin' cool

Let me tell you something, that I realized tonight

My hip-hop radio is like Marlboro lights

They're both sellin' stories and they sound about the same

Cigarettes say they're safe, rappers claim they really bang

We don't care if it's true when we lay the money down

We don't believe the words, we just love the way they sound

They're acting like we're idiots, they're lyin' to our face

Maybe we are idiots, we buy it anyway

I'm runnin' out to get the next rapper's CD

Just suckin' up the guns, drugs and misogyny

The same way that I suck up all the stories

When I breathe that little bit of death supposedly cancer-free

And everything they say's got the truth twisted up

But twisted up's what I want man, I can't get enough

'Cuz even though we know it's all just a big bluff

We just light another up, what, we don't give a fuck

It's just like a cigarette, it's something that I do

Once in a while, but between me and you

It's just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled

I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

It's just like a cigarette, it's something that I do

Over and over, but between me and you

It's just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled

I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

Listen to my words, listen for a while

Lip Service radio, don't touch the dial

If you're in the car, turn up the track man

Give your whole neighborhood some second hand rap

Matter of fact, listen for a while

Lip Service radio, don't touch the dial

If you're in the car man, turn up the track

And give the whole neighborhood some second hand rap

It's just like a cigarette, it's something that I do

Once in a while, but between me and you

It's just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled

I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

It's just like a cigarette, it's something that I do

Over and over, but between me and you

It's just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled

I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool
