Emcee Graffiti - Last Pack of Cigarettes Lyrics

There's times that I... take time to remind
Myself of the wealth from a great mind
'Cause after all, when then music has stopped
And all the words ever written are forgotten or lost
We just reiterate a thought that was taught to us
But never pause to create another place for us
And changes must, occur to obtain or lay down
The next phase of life when the cameras bust
So, take hold of the path that you walk
And never fold from the passion you love
Because the passing of one, single moment-- Is the flash of a gun
A dash or a run, a splash in the glass from the rum
And I, can't stress enough the importance of trust
And a belief that is keeping you young
Because the feeling of achieving it is second to none
Like being born from a dream to reaching peace with the sun, one

Now hear me, make sure to hold dearly
The things in your life that you might give up freely
Without a second thought or a real reason to
Carelessly neglect, respect is worth any fear of feelings
Beware the meaning, because the comparison is
Merely is a barrier, waiting for the garrison to barrel in
So careful of every little effort that could end within
The second you make a decision, base it off the life you're livin'
Cause if it isn't, then what is the reason for breathing
Or even being happy or angry to anything you're seeing
I mean you could always call it a day
And just hope for the best things to come your way
With your knees on the ground and your hands to pray
Or take your dreams by the horns n pre-record your fate
I chose to wake, and no I wasn't born this way
But the war that I chose will show I'm more than great like

What I keep with me... Is my thought
That I could rise beyond the skyline, infinite
Climb to find wisdom, and pride for my different
Style, behind the lies and time is nearly finishing
I pick the pack up the last pack of cigarettes
I'm sitting for a minute while I'm listening to bitter men
Sick of all sniffling n' whining how it coulda been
Or shoulda been, take it as cue to begin again
Start the page over, write your own life as you want it
Or at least take the blame for the problems that it's causing
Cause the conversation between you and your future self
Is long awaited if your focuses have gone and faded
So take it as a payment, the information that you're gaining
Is weighing heavier than that buck you're saving
So stretch it out and apply it to life
Or get by and survive for the night, it's all right
