Cigarettes & Cush
Stormzy Lyrics

I'm sorry that I'm late
I apologize for being tardy

And I missed your call
I didn't answer your phone call

But you know night turn into day
The passage of time from night to day is inevitable

I didn't stop to pause
I didn't take a moment to pause and reflect

I know I never see your face
I rarely see your face in person

And baby, that's my fault
And that is entirely my responsibility

But I'ma fix all my mistakes
But I will rectify all my errors

So don't stress no more
Therefore, you should not worry anymore

You got those cigarettes and cush
You possess cigarettes and marijuana

You don't ever let me down
You never disappoint me

All those other girls just look
Other girls only serve as distractions

They ain't never takin' your crown
They will never surpass your greatness

And girl I know it gets on your nerves sometimes
I understand that it can sometimes annoy you

When I don't answer my phone
When I fail to pick up the phone

And yeah I double back on my words at times
And yes, I contradict myself occasionally

But please don't start with that tone, 'cause girl
But please don't use that tone with me, because

I love you, you know, but I can't be there
I love you, you know, but I cannot physically be with you

But when I get home, just roll my weed, yeah
But when I return home, please prepare my marijuana

What's mine is yours, give you space to breathe here
Everything I have is yours, I offer you room to relax here

Just weed and cush, that's a major key here
Marijuana and a relaxed atmosphere are essential here

Yeah, then you play me a song
Then you serenade me with a song

Smokin' smoke 'til we're wavy and gone
We smoke until we become relaxed and detached

Come home from a long hard day with the dons
After a challenging day, I return home with the influential individuals

Like where's my pretty baby? I'm sorry it's been long
Wondering where my beautiful partner is? I apologize for the delay

As much as you feel you're a thorn
Despite your self-perceived nature as an annoyance

In the way that you feel, I come home
I always return to you, regardless of your feelings

Every day when it rains
Every day when it rains

But it's real
But it's authentic

Between us, ground so far beneath us
Between us, the foundation is so solid

Sometimes I can't read ya
Sometimes I can't understand you

But it don't mean I won't treat ya
But it doesn't mean I won't treat you well

To a blunt full of that reefer
To a marijuana cigarette

We may get in fights
We might argue

But I can never see me leavin'
But I can never imagine leaving you

Somethin' 'bout our cruise to high can bring us
There's something about getting high together that unites us

Sober just don't please us
Being sober doesn't satisfy us

If you're wondering, yeah I'm still here because I see us
If you're wondering, yes, I'm still here because I envision a future together

But Mary makes it easy to talk to you
But marijuana makes it easier for me to communicate with you

Aww, yeah
Oh, yes

'Cause sometimes I just can't spill my thoughts to you
Because sometimes I struggle to express my thoughts to you

I took you in every day
I accepted you every day

At the end of every day I belong to you
At the end of each day, I am yours

I'll still pass the bong to you
I'll still hand you the water pipe

I'll write a song to you
I'll compose a song for you

I'll do no wrong to you
I won't do anything to hurt you

I promise
I guarantee

It's been like a month now
It has been approximately one month

Since you left my side
Since you departed from my presence

Got me smokin' a blunt now
Now I find myself smoking marijuana

But there ain't no vibe
But there is no positive energy

'Cause I fucked up badly
Because I made a serious mistake

All I did was push
All I did was push you away

Now there's no more weed
Now there is no more marijuana

No more cush
No more marijuana

And I'm deep in the south side
And I am in a troublesome situation

And I can't find love
And I cannot find love

I was lookin' for my brown skin
I was searching for someone with brown skin

Tryna find that buzz
Attempting to find that feeling of elation

Now what have you done, Stormz?
Now, what have you caused, Stormz?

Now what have you caused?
Now, what have you caused?

And we weren't just bredrens
And we were more than just friends

We were so much more
We had a deeper connection

Girl, you was my hero
Girl, you were my hero

The beat to my heart
The rhythm to my heart

And them tears on your face
And the tears on your face

Man, they tear me apart
They devastate me

Man, I just wanna fix you
Man, I just want to repair you

Fix what I broke
Fix what I shattered

No covers on the sofa
No blankets on the couch

No more smoke
No more marijuana smoke

And I pray God saves you
And I pray God protects you

Man, I pray all night
Man, I pray all night

I just wanna say thank you
I just want to express my gratitude

'Cause you saved my life
Because you saved my life

But I cut you deep
But I deeply hurt you

And I know how it looks
And I understand how it appears

Now there's no more weed
Now there is no more marijuana

No more cush
No more marijuana
