[Verse 1]
Look no farther than the fathers who go farther than they should
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods
[Pre-Chorus]
And who is gonna teach them wrong from right?
Who's gonna tell them it's alright?
[Pre-Chorus]
Just pass the jazz cigarette
And take these brain cells out my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart
[Chorus]
'Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flag for me
Still, my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fallout
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn my bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release, yeah
So I'm trading blues for green
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, yeah (ooh), oh
[Rap]
Listen
See, I'm a simple man
I don't even have a phone
If I did, I wouldn't pick it up
I wanna be alone
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town
When the people walk by, watch my eyes fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
And who is gonna teach them wrong, is gonna teach them wrong from right? Ah, ah
Just pass the jazz cigarette
And take these brain cells out my head
Fill my lungs, drain my heart, heart, heart, heart, heart
[Chorus]
'Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flag for me
Still, my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fallout
And there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn my bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release, hey
So I'm trading blues for green
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (da-da-da), eh
Oh-oh-oh, eh, yeah, hah, yeah, ah, wow
[Pre-Chorus]
Just pass the jazz cigarette
And take these brain cells out of my head
Oh, fill my lungs, drain my heart
[Chorus]
'Cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter
And I feel much better
And demons wave the white flag for me
Still my bones keep pleading to walk out
From all of this fallout
But there's no way that I could leave
So I don't leave
Turn my bitterness to sweet
I gotta find a new release, yeah
So I'm trading blues for green
