Song lyrics

Man I love this rap game
Mainly cause it's cool
To add a little spice to the life you've been through
Everyone exaggerates a tiny little bit
To make that shit sound more gangster
Than it really is
You can't appear weak man
We wanna hear street
Wanna hear you spit your thought
Over this here beat
Dont 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
Nobody's really fooled
I don't want the truth,
I wanna feel fucking cool

Let me tell you something
That I realized tonight
My hip hop radio is like Marlboro Lights
They're both selling stories
And they sound about the same
Cigarette's 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
Cause 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
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

Listen to the words,
Listen for a while
Leave service radio,
Don't touch the dial
If you're in the car
Turn up the track man
Give the whole neighborhood
Some secondhand rap

Matter of fact
Listen for a while
Leave service radio,
Don't touch the dial
If you're in the car man
Turn up the track
Give the whole neighborhood
Some secondhand 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
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
