Smoking Section Lyrics
I was talkin` to a guy that I respect dearly the other day
And he told me not to get so distracted fighting the alligators, that I forget to clean the swamp
And it took me a second to think about what he was really sayin`But he was sayin` "Don`t let my problems distract me so much dealin` with them, I forget my mission"
Hey baby brother, how ya doin`
The streets still holdin`
The last time I seen ya, you ain`t seem so focused
Can`t believe I ain`t noticed, I can`t believe I missed it
Life been crazy man, fast life livin`
While Struggle`s sittin` in prison, I`m sittin` and trippin`
And I`m sittin` here wishin` that you were sittin` here with me
But you`re not, I`m all alone
Tryin` to write this song
Sippin` on some bourbon and blowin` a little strong
This is therapeutic music so I`m takin` my time
Figured while I had a second I would drop you a line
Me and Will are doing well man, don`t worry `bout us
I bet yo ass up there chillin` probably rollin` it up
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it`s said and done and we`re all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
Hey Momma V, its been a minute since I mentioned your name
And every hardship is a blessing and this is the same
It`s been 16 years, it doesn`t lessen the pain
`Cause your death was a first hand lesson on age
I`m just riding through my own neighborhood reminiscing
The life that I was livin`, man was I trippin`
I grew up around sinners all after tryin` to win
People livin` to die but they was dyin` to live
Think about you every now and then I ride by the crib
Call it the crib, but my mother hasn`t lived there in years

Meanwhile my cousin came home from doing a bid
Gave the man an iPhone and he didn`t know what it is
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it`s said and done and we`re all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
We ain`t smoked in a while, I`m sorry the change did it
That and the fact you got strung out on painkillers
The money and fame did it, you tried and you can`t quit it
To think it`s a shame that your names in the same sentence
As a junkie, a flunkie, your back is the monkey
You used to have it all, the hoes and the money
Had a dream that you killed yo`self
Woke up reachin` for my phone like you needed my help
But I`m so focused on myself and my daughter doing well
You`re a grown man, I have to hope you`re going through a spell
But I`m prayin` for you and I know that you`re feelin` the pain
But you`re an addict, you won`t change til you`re ready to change
And I hope you think about your family and get it right
And just know that I`ma pray for you before I sleep tonight
And me and money talk, I`d like to share this thought
While you fightin` alligators don`t forget to clean the swamp
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it`s said and done and we`re all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
