I'Ll Trade You Pain For Smoke

Born stressed here, Peer pressure, pain, and no rest till next year, Blowing the smoke in my lungs that my chest fear, It's a mind thing; the pleasure is a treasure for the brain, Followers mouth left dryer than the dessert after puffing the toxic fame, Let me pronounce this man, I think he need counseling; probably by next week he'll smoke a ounce again, Living the street life, Higher than the street lights, Wondering, "what would a life without pain be like", Using struggles for excuses; giving the body bruises until it's useless, Some of the smoke that exist kill; some of the smoke that exist heals cancer, Tell me what the truth is, he said, "I'll trade you pain for smoke", "I said deuces"!

"Higher than the street lights, Wondering, "what would a life without pain be like","- I think some people do need marijuana for the pain.
