  But long distance love, never thought it would end.

  Tell 'em talk is cheap...niggas living for the dollar.

• I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack,
  And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black.
  So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked.
  I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke,
  And I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince,
  The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced.
  The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket,
  In a rainstorm...and struck by lightning trying to get it.

  Pass the Old Gold, trash the ale.

  And when there's nothing to eat...I bite my nails.
