Bruno Mars - Smoke lyrics

[Hook: Bruno Mars] Smoke is in the air I'm breathing My heart has slowly stopped repeating Everything is dark I can't see cause smoke is in the air The songs that I have sung I'm leaving For you to figure out the meaning So you can finally see what I'm seeing Cause Smoke is in the air [Verse 1] I light a cigarette, you walk away You roll your eyes, quicken your pace I follow you and try to catch up to see your face I ask what's wrong and you call me a waste of space Now imagine that in reality Good rhymes with no meaning but still a lot of clarity We like 'em cause we think they can see what we see But in reality they're so fake Might as well be rappin' with a green screen Not sayin' any names, sorry if I sound mean But Lil Wayne and Rick Ross just took off with my green screen Hey, I'm just kidding, there's no need to dis me We all have hard times, rapping isn't easy I've had mine, my words were undefined But I still kept my heart pure with a clean state of mind Just do you, everyday We can't see the truth cause the bullsh**'s in the way [Hook: Bruno Mars] [Verse 2] Now if you feel offended Don't take it personally But the rap game has turned into a crap game Irreversibly Cause we still got Glocks and c**aine Impurity The dumba**es are the ones who ain't takin' it seriously They make jokes, make fun of my race and then laugh at me This isn't how it was supposed to be But I guess not everything can be change that you want to see The truth isn't always the thing that you should believe Cause government isn't always bringing you the news that youshould perceive Man what has happened? It all used to be short, sweet and to the point Now its all about going to court, getin' beat and smokin' a joint Well what the hell? People are treating their girlfriends like show and tell This may be an auction But how much truth can I possibly sell? [Hook: Bruno Mars] [Verse 3] These things that I have told you are all part of a connection Hip hop is a genra Not a weapon Keep that in your mind and don't leave it unprotected Cause if you got the right message you will never be rejected But if you ignore what you were taught Consider yourself infected With well-known diseases known as ignorance and arrogance Don't point fingers It was self-injected How the hell can be good if your nowhere near perfect Don't ever let your failure become self-accepted Cause if you let that happen Then your past mistakes will also be repeated If you wanna leave, please stay seated Listen to the truth and give yourself something to believe in You don't have to be an angel but don't be a demon Life is a test you don't want to be cheatin' If I could I'd clear the air so you can see what I'm seeing But it's hard to do when there's nothing good to breath in [Hook: Bruno Mars] [Outro] I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone I'm gone Peace out
