Lord, I smoke, smoke, smoke
Only thing it's doin' to me
That's why, I'm gonna do what I gotta do, oh yeah
Well, I done made up my mind
I'm gonna cut this smokin' or lose, oh yeah
Lord, I go out and have a drink
Go to the cigarette machine
'Cause I'm addicted to the nicotine
That's why I gotta do what I gotta do, oh yeah
Well I done made up my mind
I'm gonna cut this smokin' or lose
Now I don't care what ya smoke
Now it could be cigarettes or it could be killer dope
Whatever it is now you better quit
Because it would take your life, bit by bit
Now don't hang in the streets
And run with the wrong gang
If you do your life can't be the same
You might think that's a good thing to do
But it they offer you drugs just say, "No thank you"
And if that's the way you feel
I want to tell all you children
You better shake this curse
'Cause it's just as bad or worse
That's why, you better do what you gotta do, oh yeah
Well then make up your mind
If you can touch that stuff or lose, oh yeah
Lord, you better give it up
You better listen to me now baby
'Cause you might be dyin'
Just make up your mind now
Darlin' don't use the stuff
If they offer you drugs, darlin'
Will you please say, "No"
Better give it on up, darlin', darlin'
