vic mensa - coffee & cigarettes lyrics
[verse 1]
coffee and cigarettes
remind me of you, babe
you pick me up in your old buick station wagon
with the radio broke
i roll the window up
you turn the ac on
who knew you’d be so cold?
newports burnin’ on our lips
a shootout in the background as i told you that i love you
a gunshot to the heart couldn’t have hit me as hard as you did
as hard as you did, no
ash my cigarette
waitin’ for your response
it burns slowly as a spirit
who knew you’d be so cold?
[chorus]
you were only 17, fallin’ in love with everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
these cigarettes is burnin’ like a dream
and all this money heals everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
[verse 2]
we wrote our names beneath the bridge
to be sure that the city never forgot us
who woulda known you’d be so quick to forget about me
i guess that’s memory loss
i wish you loved me as much as weed
sh-t, even half as much as weed
i know you love to smoke
marlboro 27s were your favorite
only thing you loved more was your little sister
i hope she never grows up to be as f-cked up as you did
f-cked up as you did, oh
light my cigarette like we did when we were young
who knew we’d grow so old?
[chorus]
you were only 17, fallin’ in love with everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
these cigarettes is burnin’ like a dream
and all this money heals everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
[verse 3]
i recently realized i’m a hopeless romantic
i ask a lot of questions, but i’m not open to answers
and all of my girlfriends just fall into the same old patterns
like sudoku puzzles we cross words, spoken in anger
i must be the best at turnin’ the good girl crazy, that’s like my strong suit
’cause every time we should be breakin’ up i’m right there on cue
like a pool stick with some bullsh-t ’bout what i’m goin’ through
you should have an amber alert for me, i swear they should have warned you
i mean, young rap god, what do you expect from me?
and women are like a greatest hits alb-m, they get the best of me
i give ’em my all and then forget to call the next morning
i used to play my tape in the p-ssenger while she bend corners
she was only 17, first girl that broke my heart
now i think i take it out on every girl i take out on
dinner dates, to somewhere nice to sit like rosa parks
guess that’s just the way it is, it all ends the way it starts
[chorus]
you were only 17, fallin’ in love with everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
these cigarettes is burnin’ like a dream
and all this money heals everything
except for me, except for me, except for me
