Cigarettes (feat. Hue Blanes)

He draws out, the cigarette smoke trail spins

Thoughts crowd the room till it's only him

He feel it, he lives for it, spent half a life pushing it forward

What he wouldn't give for it

Saw naysayers put in their places

Feels like he's scaling foothills to greatness

Holding all four aces, he braced for the next few years

Being some for the ages

No time to heed, pride come before the fall

For now he shine, all rose, no thorn

Full bloom like his plans fool proof

High moon, sun beaming, spoke too soon

The dark clouds scream towards his door

And a house of cards can't stand in a storm

Wind picked up, sunshine stopped

The world came down with the very first drop

So light me up like a cigarette and just let me burn

Catch fire and burn, catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it

In the dark so when I'm no more

They'll know I was here before so let me just burn

He still gunning beaten but refused to be broken

What some call delusional

Or others call focus man

He's focused, came back for the re-up

Now's not the time to kick back with his feet up

Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens and his arms

Outstretched from the pain that he let in

World keep kicking hard ain't gonna get him

He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in

And that's a bittersweet faith

Knowing highs and lows will come boy, but them's the breaks

It's pride, it's madness, it's seeing what others can only imagine

And then reaching out to grab it

Saying, I can say whatever comes happens

But I followed my heart, Goddamn it

Exposing reality to magic

It's hoping, that's all it is

He walked through fire, it's all he came back with, saying

Light me up like a cigarette and just let me burn

Catch fire and burn, catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it

In the dark so when I'm no more

They'll know I was here so let me just burn

Come what may, some memories fade

But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made

Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain

It's been a while since then but who's counting

He lies awake, lies in wait

For the light of the morning to bless him and shine again

Summon the rise of the fallen

Laces tied, comeback trail still walking

Lives for it, lifetime on a mish for a man

There ain't a thing he didn't give for it

Make a bet till his last sun set

He'll be pushing for the light, mate, he ain't done yet

Head held high slow danced through his hell

Still a point there he's gotta prove to himself

And the beat drops same songs on next

So he sparks up a cigarette, takes a deep breath and says

So light me up like a cigarette and just let me burn

Catch fire and burn, catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it

In the dark so when I'm no more

They'll know I was here before, so let me just burn

So light me up like a cigarette and just let me burn

Catch fire and burn, catch fire and burn

Strike a spark and ignite it

In the dark so when I'm no more

They'll know I was here before, so let me just burn

Let me burn

Let me burn
