Cigarettes Lyrics - The Rising Tied - Fort Minor

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
