Monoxide Lyrics

[Monoxide:]
I got one thing to say before we start, Long Live the Chainsmoker!

It's time for me to light it up,
And you can tell all ya bootleg rappers to get in line, and give it up
And I got married and such,
And my lady's name is "The Game"
And I done pimped that bitch, for damn near everything
Its a start at what's embedded in my brain,
I'm ripping apart who ever came to try to get in my way
And I'm afraid that you might not like what I say
But I stand behind it, like an assassin who don't play
Its time for me to show a side, at what I'm made of
Before all the contact lenses, and wearing make up
Even before the House of Krazees had the breakup
If you dont know who that is, look the name up
A little change in your music's what you need
And if you don't mind, I'm about to set it off and proceed
So light ya weed and keep an ashtray close,
'Cause this shit right here will drive a person to smoke

Its the M, Smoke something, Fire It Up
And the O, Smoke something, Fire It Up
Wit the N, Smoke something, Fire It Up
Another O, This is how we like to get high WHAT!
Grab the X, Smoke something, Fire It Up
And thats I, Smoke something, Fire It Up




From the D, Smoke something, Fire It Up
And wit the E, This is how we like to get high WHAT!
