"Tobacco is legal and I'm an adult, and I've got the lawful right to put legal substances in my body if I want to. I mean, "it's my life," right? And now that I told you what my attitude towards smoking used to be, now I'm going to tell you how it changed."
[Hook]
Lately I've been feeling
Like I'm loosing my mind
Don't nobody know
The way I'm feeling inside
Everybody asking
But I tell them I'm fine
Hoping it'll go away
If I give it time (x4)
[Verse 1]
It's like one day it's good
And the next is just sh**
Sometimes I feel like this is it
I got so much depression
The pressure is high
That's why I'm in need of a cig
Cause as soon as I smoke
I swear that I'm relaxed
I need me a couple of hits
But I told my girl that I'd quit (yeah)
I don't need cigarettes (yeah)
Maybe one little fix (yeah)
Come on yo get a grip
I never really thought
I'd be addicted this is
Really harder than what
They depicted sh** is
Harder than stopping c**aine
I never done it but I feel ashamed
How could I let it take hold of my brain
I slap the hands but they don't go away
The hold is so tight
I'm with my homies at night
The only time
That I feel right
I look to my left
I also look to my right
Addiction is
All in my sight
They say, "come on
Just one drag won't do you wrong."
I told myself
You just be strong
[Hook]
Cause lately I've been feeling
Like I'm loosing my mind
Don't nobody know
The way I'm feeling inside
Everybody asking
But I tell them I'm fine
Hoping it'll go away
If I give it time (x6)
[Verse 2]
It's been a couple days
And I ain't had it
Now I really know
The reprehension of my habit
Now I really know
The definition of an addict
I feel irritated
With the whole entire planet
They say I'm aggressive
But I do not understand it
I did not expect it
This is not what I imagined
I'm made out of metal
Nicotine is like a magnet
I can't even think of
Reasons why I would subtract it
Did I really say that
Wow what the f** just happened
I just wanna let it
Go, its holding me for ransom
I used to see them videos
But never read the caption
Careful what you take
Might end up making you feel captured cause
[Hook]
Lately I've been feeling
Like I'm loosing my mind
Don't nobody know
The way I'm feeling inside
Everybody asking
But I tell them I'm fine
Hoping it'll go away
If I give it time (x7)
I think I'll be fine (x2)

"Unless you're living in a cave alone in the Himalayas your life does not belong entirely to you. Part of your life belongs to every person that cares about you. Every person you care about. Everybody you love. Everybody who loves you. If you don't think that's true, picture what would happen if today you got k**ed in a car crash. How many people would mourn? How many people would be crying for days? How many people would be brokenhearted? How many people would show up at that party to celebrate your life? Your funeral? And how many people would be hurting as badly if they'd been punched in the face, kicked in the gut, and whacked outside the head? Personally I would rather have been punched in the face, kicked in the gut, and whacked outside the head. Rather than lose my brother to his own hand because of his refusal, not inability, refusal to quit smoking again and to stay quit. 46 million Americans have quit smoking. If they can do it, anybody can."
