Mike: Yeah, go ahead and uh, cue the special effects… Yeah! Mike: 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 Make this 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 telling you You can call my bluff / if it’s not rough Then I don’t really need it I’m not even ashamed I got too much reality that’s filling up my brain So sell me on the product / I’m addicted to the game Suck it up like a cigarette / light it up man
Chorus: 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
Mike: Lemme tell you something that I realized tonight My hip hop radio’s like Marlboro Light They’re both selling stories And they sound about the same Cigarettes say they’re safe Rapper 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 we’re like idiots / they’re lying to out face Maybe we are idiots / we buy it anyway I’m running out to get the rapper’s next CD / just Sucking 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 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 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
Mike: Man / listen to my words / listen for 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 / hey 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 your 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
