Cigarettes
Addiction is no joke it's so hard to break free,
The drugs and the booze never got a hold of me,
I've tried them all and nothing had a hold,
Until I tried cigarettes now I can't let go,
I know if I don't stop I won't ever grow old,
Cause the chemicals will kill me or so I'm told,
But I can't seem to stop no matter what I try,
I don't even like to smoke and that's no lie,
I can't stand the taste or the smell they have,
I wish I could go back in time to stop the first drag I had,
I was nine years old staying the summer with my cuz,
I tried my first joint, cigarette and got my first buzz,
But didn't really smoke regularly until I was sixteen,
Ever since then I've been a nicotine fiend,
Now I'm thirty-one and I'm still caught in its grasp,
Every pack of cigarette I smoke I swear is my last.
