Lyrics

Man I love this rap game
Mainly cuz its 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 telling 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 filling up my brain
So sell me on that product, I'm addicted to the game
Suck it up like a cigarette, light it up (man)

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, your body's really fooled
I dont want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

Let me tell you something that I realize tonight
My hip hop radio's like marlboro light
They're both selling 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 lying 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, your body's really fooled
I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do
Over and over but between me and you
It's just like a cigarette, your body's really fooled
I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

Man 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

Hey, matter of fact, listen for a while
Lip service radio, dont touch the dial
If you're in the car man
Turn up the track
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, your body's really fooled
I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool

Just like a cigarette, it's something that I do
Over and over but between me and you
It's just like a cigarette, your body's really fooled
I dont want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool
