Wish I Would Have Never Started

by Derrick L. McFadden


I wish I would have never started smoking.
inhale, exhale
It doesn't do a damn thing for me,
except make my clothes stink and keep my coughing.
inhale, exhale
Puts me on edge, when I don't get my nicotine fix.
inhale, exhale
Ashes on my clothes, all in my car and shit!
inhale, exhale
Spending almost 3 bills or more for a pack.
inhale, exhale, cough!
Knowing if I keep smoking it will turn my lungs black.
inhale, exhale
Taking a chance on catching cancer or having a stroke.
inhale, exhale
And knowing how cancer be trying to get at black folk.
inhale, exhale
Making sure I got my gum and Tic Tacs to keep my breath fresh.
inhale, exhale, cough cough!!
Thinking that having a cigarette will help counteract my stress.
inhale, exhale
I'm so tired of puffing, and smelling like smoke.
inhale, exhale
I'm gonna give this shit up for good,
after I take a few more tokes.
inhale, exhale
inhale, exhale
inhale, exhale.
