THE CIGARETTE SONG WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SHOW? I’m teaching a lesson Me nah brag nah show-off Cannot give my blessing To what’s making you cough I really want to know Cause you’re spending your dough What have you got to show? For the smoke that you blow (Repeat) Look at me I was born in poverty Look at me And now there is so much to see Could it be? A different mentality Leading me Leading me to prosperity (Repeat Chorus) What did I do? Tell me how I’m different from you I have a disadvantage Should I share it with you? Tell me how I’m different from you Why I don’t need a cigarette To help me get through (Repeat Chorus) Now you’re trying to justify The things that you do While you’re still alive I’m appealing to you You cannot replace life So why do you try To get the best casket You money can buy (Repeat Chorus)
