[Verse] Smoke clouds thick, lungs feelin' gritty Ashtray breath, got me smellin' like the city Nicotine demons whisper in my ear "One more drag, boy, keep that fear near" But nah, I’m a king, can’t bow to this stick Toxins in my veins, they movin' too quick [Chorus] Ashes to air, throw the pack in the fire No chains on my chest, I’m risin’ higher Coughin' up death, spittin' out liars Freedom tastes better than the smoke's desire [Verse 2] Cigarette casket, pockets full of ghosts Payin' for my own death, man, who does the most? Stained fingertips, yeah, they tell my story Tar in my lungs, blacker than the night's glory Burnin’ bridges with that Marlboro spark Each puff was a bullet, shootin' in the dark [Prechorus] Grip tight, temptation's on my neck But I’ll snap that chain, I demand respect [Chorus] Ashes to air, throw the pack in the fire No chains on my chest, I’m risin’ higher Coughin' up death, spittin' out liars Freedom tastes better than the smoke's desire [Bridge] Screamin' in the mirror, devil on my back Tobacco claws sharp, tryin’ to make me crack But I’m a soldier, crush the pack to the floor Kickin' habits down, I ain’t smokin’ no more
