Chorus I don't need to get high, some people do and some people die The life that I live may not be that long But while I'm alive I'll be healthy and strong I think it's cruel and inconsiderate When people huffin' and they puffin' on a cigarette Then blow the smoke in the area that I breathe Sometimes they blow it in my face when they talk to me I'm not trying to tell you that you need to quit But you need to show respect for the one you're with And if that's an individual who doesn't smoke You need to put the cigarette out before they choke You started smoking 'cause you thought that it was cool Now you addicted and you don't know what to do Yeah you addicted to a drug baby that ain't smart Because it collapses your veins damages your heart And your lungs are getting blacker than you've ever seem That's the effect of tobacco and nicotine See what I mean I don't need to get high, some people do and some people die The life that I live may not be that long, but while I'm alive I'll be healthy and strong Ain't no wisdom in that alcohol They say, 'Do you want it' and I say, 'Not at all' They tell me that I need to take a drink to be cool I tell 'em, 'Man, I'm already cool. What's up with you'' Now is you crazy or is it that you didn't know That every time you drink the alcohol you loose control Become abusive to all the people that you love After your buzz, can't remember what you thinking of Oh yeah that drug ruins people and their families They want it to happen to me but that's a fantasy How can this be' I'm feeling pressure from the left and right I'm watching TV and they tell me to drink Bud Light Wasn't subliminal I got the message loud and clear They want me spending all my money on a can of beer They must be crazy trying to trick me like some kind of fool They get me laughing at those frogs and iguanas too Now is it true that if I drink I'll be the man' No, that's a lie, so me I got a different plan So understand that my mind sees reality Like Mortal Combat can you say 'Fatality' Them tactics work on other people they don't work on me Being drug free is the way that I want to be Say it with me I don't need to get high some people do and some people die The life that I live may not be that long, but while I'm alive I'll be healthy and strong I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't need To get high, I don't mess with the weed And my heart bleeds when I see my people on their knees Beggin' like they got an incurable disease Addictions start with a sip of a drink, one puff of a smoke So the people need to think And I do, so do you and your crew When they push d** on you what you gonna do' SAY I don't need to get high, some people do and some people die The life that I live may not be that long, but while I'm alive I'll be healthy and strong
