Cigarette

(album: Therapeutic Music 5 - 2015)

She lit her last cigarette
Oh yeah!

Hey how you've been? It's been a minute
I've been praying for you, alot of shit that's on my chest
I want to say it to you
Beautiful woman with incredible tape
Baby daddy's gone, I've heard he called federal ?cape/cake?
It was fast life living, winded up in prison
Next thing you know, she's trying to raise three children
And next day, she's on back pays
Didn't know that Shane came as fast as cash came
It's all part of the game, moving in the fast lane
Now she thinking Lord can't blame it on the back pain
Man, now she's sitting in an old motel
Another story that we know oh so well

She lit her last cigarette
While she's trying to figure out how to live with regret
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left, so she's sitting stressed
Light up a cigarette!

Hey honey how you doin'? Are you still doing bad?
Are you still with that dude that likes to beat your ass?
Last time I've seen you, I saw the hidden bruises
I've tried to talk about it but you came up with excuses
You feel trapped, don't you? It's like you can't escape
It's like you trying to find a way through you can get away
I understand, hold on, mama and be strong
God's the only person that you can really lean on
Like you're stuck in a rut but you can't get out
But the world's on your shoulders and you can't flip out
I'm sorry it took so long for us to have a conversation
But I'm glad I've caught you contemplating

She lit her last cigarette
While she's trying to figure out how to live with regret
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left, so she's sitting stressed
Light up a cigarette!

And she don't want to spend another night alone
She don't get no friend that she can call a phone
When it's cold, no one knows
All the places that girl go

She lit her last cigarette
While she's trying to figure out how to live with regret (nobody!)
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left, so she's sitting stressed
Light up a cigarette! (nobody know's!)
