Lyrics
One too many mornings… I coughed when I awoke…
One too many mornings… Phlegm clogging up throat…
One too many mornings… Blood ran from off my nose
But on my final morning… That’s when my coffin closed
And on that final morning, the warning felt too late…
Now people mourning after mornings I’m no longer still awake…
I used to complain and bitch when the flame was lit…
My face would cringe turn away and spit…
The aroma made me sick and I’d take offense…
Till the day I slipped with my tainted lips…
The kats in my click we’re all rejects…
Who started prior to me, and they all seemed blessed …
Put one out, light another it was all reflex…
Said I’d quit when one passed cause I don’t want to be next…
Certain friends told me to stop cause I look stupid as hell…
But I believed it released stress plus I do it for self…
It was choice I made foolish but the beginning was cool…
And when I felt timid I was used to cigarette fumes…
I would sit in my room hitting the cig and sipping on brew…
Increasing blood pressure I was less then amused …
The next morning I’m feeling tension tight in my chest…
Not knowing I’m killing myself with each try for a breath…
It was my after mint I had to hit after I ate…
And I was happy with the apathy I had to display…
When family with gradually try to nag me away…
I was an addict with a habit try to pass through a phase…
But I couldn’t…
A grown man told me I would die an old man…
Both hands I hold at my chest and I know that…
My lungs we’re both black so bad the doc couldn’t…
Mold back said I end up toe tagged…
Close-minded I smoked so to blind to see…
All hope floats away with my wife to be…
She would mope choked up just trying to breathe…
And showed so much love I know she would die for me…
One morning woke up lungs felt choked up…
Blood dripped from my nose throat hurt so much…
Doc showed the results and I was sadly sure…
I was dosed with illness that had no cure…
One too many mornings… I coughed when I awoke…
One too many mornings… Phlegm clogging up throat…
One too many mornings… Blood ran from off my nose…
But on my final morning… That’s when my coffin closed…
And on that final morning, the warning felt too late…
Now people mourning after mornings I’m no longer still awake…
With needles in my arm and breathing through my neck…
My peoples we’re alarmed that the cancer took effect…
It spreaded through my blood and it made its final flight…
And took away my lungs and they didn’t try and fight…
I’d fade out and wake up to flowers and family…
Glad I wasn’t alone but they knew I wasn’t’ happy…
I couldn’t risk laughing cause my lungs wouldn’t have it…
I would cry inside acting like I knew this would happen…
But I didn’t… Regret hit the floor with each fallen tear…
An honest victim scorned with the end drawing near…
And I’m wishing… I wouldn’t ever be caught in fear…
Hoping chemotherapy would make it all disappear…
But it didn’t… So I made peace with the God…
Laying deceased with no pulse…
Nurses screaming he’s gone…
Chest heaving had ceased release my demons involved…
I would’ve quit but my body quit breathing this song…
I can’t breathe, I’m blacking out…
Walls are closing in and my heart is tapping out…
I’m dying feeling afraid; don’t give away my life,
Give me a second chance to change; I swear I’ll live it right…
