lirik lagu daniel young aka muph - dying for a cigarette (let 'em burn)

[verse 1]
i didn’t wanna keep taking your smokes
so i bought a packet
of peter stuyvesant cl-ssics and that was that
we all know what can happen
now there’s no going back
and tthe more i had the more that i had to have it
so here i am recording on a 15-year habit
everywhere i go i’m going at it knowing that i’m runnin’
lower in the packet
so catch me at the counter of your bp
coughing up for this nicotine
even if the government been upping the tax
the cost was not enough
to stop some of us from coming back for more
and you don’t wanna see me going through these withdrawals
sure i got i could make the call
quitline 13 7848
if i ever do decide
just give me a bit more time and a bic lighter
anyone who might’ve lit this fire knows
that it can burn in the back of your mind and take you over
swear i was never gonna be a smoker in my thirties
yet here i am with a lit
cigarette in my hand
thinking, d-mn i don’t want to see my light going out early
(let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn)

[verse 2]
i made the same mistakes as gramps did
and gramps quit
i bought a packet of nicabate patches
used to peel off the plastic patch
and reattach it
catch me at that moment
doing what i shouldn’t
maybe it was looking at these hands
and not knowing what to do with them
that got me feeling lost
like without it it’s a loss
and i’m losin’ it
truth is i gave the zyban prescription a look in
but didn’t get it, never took it
thinkin’ maybe that i should’ve
i mean i’ve seen what the emphysema can do
a slow way to suffocate made her lips turn blue
and still i’m turning to you in a time of need
like a copd might be right for me
i need to get the respiratory tested
i need to whiten these teeth
what i need an appointment for the dentist
“your oral hygiene is important”
yes, this is what they said
me i kept on avoidin’
don’t remember the last checkup and clean
swigging on a bottle of listerine to get that breath back to its freshest
and you can sugar coat it with all the extras that you like
cosmetics ain’t got sh-t on what’s going on in the inside
how many cigarettes does it take for us to die?
no one wants cancer
and i’m trying to make it out alive
wasn’t meant to be the type to rely upon a lucky strike
sh-t i don’t know why
i can’t justify just to try
i’ve tried the e-cigs and the patches
hypnotherapy and the champix
oral spray and that the list goes on
an ex-smoker friend said, “when its what you really want then you will find a way”
even if it’s not the easy way to stop
it was not new information to me
but it plays on my mind like a beat and i’m keep that on repeat
(let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn
let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn
let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn
let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn
let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn
let ’em burn, let ’em burn let ’em burn)

[verse 3]
chewing on some nicorette gum
thinking for me this could be the one
the longest that i’ve been
said its been three months
feel the breath of fresh air filling up these lungs
f-ck it, feel like giving hugs to the trees for all that they gave us
from the papers to the oxygen that they came with
and even though i’m still searching for ways to relax
to slow it down take a deep breath stay ahead of the pack
i know that we on track
and if we f-ck it up we f-ck it up that’s just a setback
remember that no more gingivitis
no more trying to find your lighter
no more all the time tired
no more getting burnt by that fire
and still, it might feels like the farewell of a friend
but my lung capacity gone up by 22 percent
i don’t know exactly what that means
but indeed it feels like some kind of achievement
just to keep breathin’
