Intro: Smoke Free Music

I guess the best thing to do is to not ever start.
But, if you've already begun to smoke, then you must Quit Now!

So, do you want to quit?  Then Come and Follow Me!

I'm going to show you the way to go.  I'm going to take you down that very long road.  So, prepare to go low, to the valleys and peaks, and ain't nobody's saying it's going to be easy. Because if it was easy, everybody would be a non smoker.  So this is for the "Tokers", the nicotine addicted it's time to get with it.  You, Me

Verse 1
The time has finally come,
for us to put our bodies number 1
Open your eyes, so you can see that
 smoke is killing you and it's killing me

 

 

For all the people you love
For your heart and for your lungs.                         You, Me Let's Go Smoke Free

Rap 1

Now, first you need a reason
And, it don't matter the time or the season
Maybe it's the beautiful smile of your child
Or, do you want to play with your grandbaby yo?

You tell me, what's important to you?
Can life longevity motivate you?
Or do you need a kick in your cigarette but,
to protect yourself from yourself? 
Can you go (Smoke Free)?

Verse 2

Do you know all the poison you inhale with every puff?
Over 4,000 chemicals, not just nicotine, it's a lot of other bad stuff
And you're not just letting it in your body, you're letting it marinate

Cigarettes are costing you days
So, don't wait!
 Breakdown:
If you're serious about quitting,
one of the main things you'll need to know
are your smoke triggers. 
 

 

What are the things that temp
you to smoke? 

Stay away from the popular smoking spots.  Sit in the non-smoking section.  Stay away from people who smoke.  Remember your cravings will last only a few minutes. 

I know you can do it!

Turn

You may feel withdrawal symptoms.
And, you may slip and smoke.
But you must try to quit again and again.

Obstacles will be there, but don't let them prevent you from having a long healthy life.

Rap 2

Tell all of your family and friends
that you've finally set a date that you will stop smoking
And, anticipate that early in the game
there'll be many different challenges you'll face (you see)
And, in the worst case scenario,
a doctor can prescribe medicine so you can handle yo
Come on, no more excuses!

It's You, Me Let's Go Smoke Free!

 

 

 

 

This one is for the smokers, the toke-toke-toke-tokers, the nicotine addicted,
trying to get with it.  It's time to stand and proclaim!

This Is Your Moment!

So, Let's Go Smoke Free!
 

Smoking causes more than 450,000 deaths in the United States each year.
Don't let it happen to you.
