Cigarettes (ft. Hue Blanes)

Cigarettes - Illy/Hue Blanes

He draws out the cigarette smoke trail spins

Thoughts crowd the room 'til it's only him

He feels it he lives for it

Spent half a life pushing it forward what he wouldn't give for it

Saw naysayers put in their places

Feels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness

Holding all four aces he braced

For the next few years being some for the ages

No time to heed pride come before the fall

For now he shines all rose no thorn

Full bloom like his plan fool proof

High noon sun beaming spoke to soon

The dark clouds scream towards his door

And a house of cards it can't stand in the storm

Wind picked up sunshine stopped

The world came down with the very first drop

So light me up like a cigarette

And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it in the dark

So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before

So let me just burn

He still gunning beaten but refused to be broken

What some call delusional others call focus

Man he's focused came back for the re up

Now's not the time to kick back with his feet up

Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens

And his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in

World keep kicking hard ain't gonna get him

He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in

And that's a bittersweet faith

Knowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks

It's pride it's madness it's seeing what others can only imagine

And then reaching out to grab it

Saying I can say that whatever comes happens

But I followed my heart my goddamn it

Exposing reality to magic

It's hope and that's all it is

He walked through fire and its all he came back with saying

So light me up like a cigarette

And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it in the dark

So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before

So let me just burn

Come what may some memories fade

But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made

Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain

It's been a while since then but who's counting

He lies awake lies in wait

For the light of the morning to bless him and shine again

Summon the rise of the fallen

Laces tied comeback trail still walking

Lives for it lifetime on the mish for it

Man there ain't a thing he didn't give for it

Make a bet till his last sun sets

He'll be pushing for the light mate he ain't done yet

Head held high slow danced through his hell

Still a point there he gotta prove to himself

And the beat drops same songs on next

So he sparks up a cigarette takes a deep breath and says

Light me up like a cigarette

And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn

Light a spark and ignite it in the dark

So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before

So let me just burn

Light me up like a cigarette

And just let me burn catch fire and burn catch fire and burn

Strike a spark and ignite it in the dark

So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before

So let me just burn
