Tio make me proud
Two doors
Two knobs
Twisted
Turned
Each one at a time
As I walk in
The Smoke gets to my brain
As I inhale
Before I can exhale its already traveled through my blood vessels
My lungs weaken because this cancer always kills more than 3,000 non smokers a year
I can barely walk towards the bathroom
Because my nostrils are clogged up with nicotine
It's disappointing but at least you won't hide it
The further I walk in the harder it is to breathe
I'm not sure how you can deal with the strong stink it brings.
It scares me to know you inhale this heart diseased Odor all the time
It's a hot box of your soul crying for help from any whom on the outside
Killing for fresh air
Just take a break
Tio tenga confiansa en mi
Tu changita te puede ayudar
I’ll help you get through it
Because your soon to come grandkids are going to ask
En donde esta mi abuelo
And I sure in hell won't say cigarettes were the cause to your death
Because tio I do love you and the next time I walk through these doors
Please just make me proud
