I always hated when my mom was taking smoke breaks

The thought of cancer in her lungs is what I won't take

Since she can help it, nicotine is in her system

Beg and plea for her to quit 'em

But I see she won't consider

And mamma ain't raise no quitter

But them cigarettes is killing, I'm afraid they gonna kill her

She say that I'm a hypocrite, I'm always getting lifted

I say it's much different, what I'm hitting isn't killing folk

We move to different [John's] like we talking Different Strokes

See she the reason why I'm even smoking

My dad smoked a Black & Mild in the car and left the window open

I wouldn't mind, I thought it was some normal shit

Guess if everybody's parents smoked then I'm a normal kid

If that's the case then I don't think I know what normal is

But

I guess it's what the normal been

New Ports I can smell it on your oral stench

...And on your jacket

I don't wanna see my mamma old and hacking 'cause some lousy cancer sticks, I won't allow that shit to happen

You smoking bitter when you could be breathing better

This ain't a rap this is a letter
