Cigarettes Lyrics
Walking out the house with a pack up in my hand
Ten cigarettes for lunch, ten for dinner, goddamn
I really wanna stop, but I'm feeling like I can't
I smoke more cigs than the Marlboro man
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty cigarettes in my mouth at once
Light the whole pack up, I smoke 'em by the bunch
Fill me up with cancer, baby, I can't stop
Smoke 'em when I want, lately, that's a lot
[Chorus]
Well, darling, I'll smoke 'em 'til the day that I'm dead
Well, darling, we both know how it's going to end
I smoke too much
Baby, it's killing me quick
I smoke too much
Baby, I'm dying from this
[Verse 2]
Light a cigarette when I wanna hurt less
Light a cigarеtte when I celеbrate success
Light two cigarettes up right after sex
I light three more right before I go to bed
Twenty cigarettes in my mouth at once
Light the whole pack up, I smoke 'em by the bunch
Fill me up with cancer, baby, I can't stop
Smoke 'em when I want, lately, that's a lot
[Chorus]
Well, darling, I'll smoke 'em 'til the day that I'm dead
Well, darling, we both know how it's going to end
I smoke too much
Baby, it's killing me quick
I smoke too much
Baby, I'm dying from this
[Bridge]
Cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes
I can't get 'em out my head
Cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes
They call me "Ashtray Breath"
[Chorus]
Well, darling, I'll smoke 'em 'til the day that I'm dead
Well, darling, we both know how it's going to end
I smoke too much
Baby, it's killing me quick
I smoke too much
Baby, I'm dying from this
I only need to smoke one more cigarette

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
“I’ve been battling with addiction since I was 15 years old. And this album, over the process of it, I got completely sober. And I struggle with addiction still. At the time I wrote it, I was chain-smoking cigarette after cigarette. I had just quit smoking weed. I was smoking a pound a month of weed—I’m talking Wiz Khalifa status. I thought that it was helping keep me energized, but I realized as I removed it that I’m just a really energized person. Weed has nothing to do with that. Anyways, I realized while I was at the studio, I couldn’t go more than 15 minutes until I had a craving to smoke another cig. So I wanted to make a song that reminded me that I was killing myself with every hit that I took: ‘What am I doing here? I’m just trying to die from this.'”
