Lyrical Analysis of...
Cigarettes
- I’m tryna figure out this mind boggling game
- How breathing is neutralized by numbing pain
- I'm always disappointing God, troubles with His law
- Would she have done better or the same?
- If I would ever try cigarettes?
- If I would ever try cigarettes?
- Cigs
- Momma came home from another day of work
- Told me go into her car and to go and get her purse
- And I grabbed in walked and brought it to her
- But all that hit me in their was…cigarettes
- Didn’t see the money, only saw all the smokes
- She told me “don’t tell your brothers bout the cigarettes”
- But years go on by and the secret slips away
- Out on the front porch, holding sticks to numb the pain
- And it’s accessible not like novacane
- At least momma ain’t on the cocaine
- But we went to the store and stepped into the store
- Momma pulled out the cash and then she grabbed more
- Told the clerk to search for more cigarettes
- I’m tryna figure out this mind boggling game
- How breathing is neutralized by numbing pain
- Im always disappointing God, troubles with His law
- Would she have done better or the same?
- If I would ever try cigarettes?
- If I would ever try cigarettes?
- Cigs
- (Interlude)
- So my momma, she saw how smoking affected us
- (In her lungs)
- So the logical thing was to give it up
- (Messed them up)
- And that’s exactly what my mother did
- (Had no high hopes)
- She took time out of her hard working days to not
- smoke
- (But she gave me high hopes)
- Put away her cigarettes, because she didn’t want to paint herself a bad image
- Or be an influence into cancer
- Let’s talk about the adoration for my ma
- Been through so much, I’ll never see her thoughts
- Immigrant, an anti rebel with the law
- She cared for us, she deeply loved me
- More than cigarettes
- My momma chose us, me and my brothers
- Over cigarettes
- Cigarettes, uh
- I’m proud to say I’m an addict who inherited your pain
- I’m just doing addiction in rhyme form, I ain’t playin
