Cigarettes Coffee by Malcolm London Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can I feel nostalgic? Snow dripping like faucets
Cigarettes and coffee, can I get a drag?
This that tryna be happy when your mama say she sad
When your papa gave her the world just to take it back
I remember my first Christmas, Santa Clause religion
Presents be presented but my daddy's one was missing
Fast forward to flash floods, had a premonition
Of back rubs and bathtubs, laughing in the kitchen
I resented everything he put us through
Look in the mirror right now I look just like you
Oh I still love you, chip on my shoulder, chip off the old block
Even wear the same clothes now
Slipping off a cliff hanger, hope I don't fall down
Cause I remember
[Chorus: Kiara Lanier]
I gotta find peace of mind
I gotta find a piece of me
Why can't you and I agree?
[Verse 2: Malcolm London]
Try not to cry when I lash out
Like tryna get your eyelash out
No shelter when we fall out
Shit ain't been the same since the house burned down
Papa was a rolling stone, do that make mama Medusa?
Been through so many stages they worked for Lollapalooza
Damn, home ain't always happy but it's home, like flip phone
It so ugly but it's someone to call home
Ricochet from playing spades and playing charades
Papa ain't have shit to say so in the fifth grade I ran away
Now I spend my days with a fifth and the ashtray
Cigarettes in my ashtray
[Chorus: Kiara Lanier]
I gotta find peace of mind
I gotta find a piece of me
I gotta find this nicotine
I love you but you're killing me
I gotta find peace of mind
I gotta find a piece of me
I gotta find this nicotine
I love you but you're killing me
[Bridge: Malcolm London]
Can I get nostalgic? Brother getting taller
I forget to call him often cause we
Fussing and fighting and arguing
Going mono e mono, you too,(U2) you too(U2)
And we feeling like Bono
Ah ah ah
[Chorus: Kiara Lanier (Malcolm London)]
I gotta find peace of mind
Part of me was left behind
I gotta find this nicotine
Part of me was left behind
I gotta find
Oh, oh it's left behind
What a joy it is to be alive
Oh, a piece of me
(Cigarettes and coffee, can I feel nostalgic?)
Oh, you're all I need
(Cigarettes and coffee, can I feel nostalgic?)
(Cigarettes and coffee, can I feel nostalgic?)
(Cigarettes and coffee, can I feel nostalgic?)
Can I feel nostalgic? Snow dripping like faucets
Cigarettes and coffee, can I get a drag?
This that tryna be happy when your mama say she sad
When your papa gave her the world just to take it back
I remember my first Christmas, Santa Clause religion
Presents be presented but my daddy's one was missing
Fast forward to flash floods, had a premonition
Of back rubs and bathtubs, laughing in the kitchen
I resented everything he put us through
Look in the mirror right now I look just like you
Oh I still love you, chip on my shoulder, chip off the old block
Even wear the same clothes now
Slipping off a cliff hanger, hope I don't fall down
Cause I remember
[Chorus: Kiara Lanier]
I gotta find peace of mind
I gotta find a piece of me
