Caskey - Why I Smoke lyrics

Ay, I gets plenty rolled
If my cup losing it's fix
I gets the Henny po'ed
Into my soul, it's open for public display
That don't mean you finna love what I say
I think we living in a set up
Keep your head up
I noticed you're getting hard
The government never let up
Rappers out here telling you "get your bread
Up" like you ain't working hard
Unlucky mafucker, I don't play with the cards
A peasant tryna play with the gods
Shit unpleasant so I play with cigars
Dreaming of cars and the clothes
Thinking there's more to life
But how the fuck I'ma know
When every place I go
Obsessed with this dope?
I think I'm blessed to be
Here in the first place, don't get me wrong
This ain't the worst place
But this ain't home
And lately, it's been harder to relate
With all of these mafucking fakes

And still they ask me why
I smoke, I got reasons, yeah
Ayo, they ask me why I smoke
Why I smoke, bitch
Just don't know if you'd believe
And still they ask me why
I smoke, I got reasons, yeah
Ay and still they ask me why I smoke
Why I smoke, I got reasons
Just don't know if you'd believe

Shit, my momma at home
Getting stressed, the IRS on the phone
See, my father paid these bills a year ago
Now he gone
I'm inches from stepping over this ledge
Taking
Tryna pull away from thoughts in my head
Images of the past, they follow me, father
He pulled the trigger
Only liquor relaxed me
All I'm thinking is "figures"
How the fuck I been caught in the mixture?
Had to take a step back after mine
Survived the crash on the Gixer
It's crazy getting these glimpses of death
Like where the fuck would my mother
And sister be if I left?
That shit been stressin' me
Hard to believe that God out here blessin' me
Tryna help my family with this money
Next thing these police arrestin' me
Look in my eyes, you'll probably see it
I hope my sister go and
Forget about them fights, i ain't mean it
The weight of my family been on my back
So just know there's plenty reasons for
The way that I act

And still they ask me why
I smoke, I got reasons, shit
Ay, what you mean why I smoke?
Why I smoke, I got reasons
Just don't know if you'd believe
And still they ask me why
I smoke, I got reasons, yeah
What you mean why I smoke? Why I smoke
Just don't know if you'd believe

Still dealing with these problems
Since the first grade
Father addicted to medication
Medicating in the worst way hurt me to say
My sister in and out of jail time visitation
Hurt me to stay
I'm praying to a higher power
That I never seen
Facing more trials than you had ever seen
Hella mean face to those who
Ain't been around me
'cause my past made me harder than most
Seminole County
Got the same type of shit that your city got
Both have seen the same
Situations, running 'round
Ducking shitty cops
Difference with me is when the pity stops
I don't crumble
And don't drop the ball, this ain't a fumble
Despite the concrete, we in a jungle
Paranoid, schizophrenic
Feeling like my uncle
I ain't tryna take his place
Really I ain't tryna catch a case
I'm just tryna make it through today

Still they ask me why I smoke, got reasons
Yeah shit, they ask me why I smoke
Smoke, I got reasons
Just don't know if you'd believe
Still they ask me why I smoke, I got reasons
Yeah what you mean why I smoke?
Why I smoke, shit
Just don't know if you'd believe
The reason that I smoke
