Plan B - Traded In My Cigarettes Lyrics






There's people inside
Telling me to watch my back
If I wanna survive
I gotta stop them in their tracks

They've been making life hard
They've been taking me for a fool
So I saved up all my cigaretts
And I traded them in for a tool

Because now you know ive gotta get tough now baby
I gotta do what I gotta do
Because yeah you know things are getting rough now baby
Tell me what I'm supposed to do

Woo

Doing my time
In a cage that aint fit for a rat
Waiting to die
What kind of bad existance is that
Oh I dont wanna hurt nobody no no
But what choice do I have
If I dont do something crazy
They're gunna keep coming back

Because now you know ive gotta get tough now baby
I gotta do what I gotta do
Because yeah you know things are getting rough now baby
Aint got nothing left to lose no no no no no no

They've been making things hard
Oh they've been making my life bad
So I traded in my cigarettes
So when they come I can protect myself

Ohh ohh

So when they come I can protect myself
From those demons
Haunting me like ghosts
Someone tell me I'm dreaming
This all up in my head
Someone wake me up from my bed
Tell me this aint really happening

Gotta get tough now baby
I gotta do what I gotta do
Because yeah you know things are getting rough now baby
Aint got nothing left to lose no no no no

Things are getting tough now baby
I gotta do what I gotta do
Because yeah you know things are getting rough now baby
Aint got nothing left to lose no no no no

Things are getting tough now
I gotta do what I gotta do
Because yeah you know things are getting rough now baby
Aint got nothing left to lose no no no no

    @MrFridaynightclub haha yeah listening to Kids or Suzzane and then to this or something like She said is quite the flip, wouldn't even think it was the same artist.

  36. g.... p....

    this bloke sounds A BIT like smokey robinson.wen hes hitting the high notes.just got this c.d very good

  37. M.... ....

    I'm off to see plan b in march and i cant wait!!! But how many people who see this clip know he done an album before this ? and dont even think for a moment it sounds any thing like this!!!! There is where you will see the mans lycrical genius? But dont listen if you are easily shocked!!!

  38. R.... E....

    i love this song got to be the best one from his new album :)

  39. S.... S....

    @maxyd2 Idiot! Why make it about race?? Your so clueless you don't even realise that Plan b is heavily influenced by soul rap which is black culture. Read up on him...

    There are alot of black artists who make positive music..Seriously you enjoy a genre of music, but still manage to hate on a where that genre came from...

    Back on topic, amazing album, from the most underrated artist in Britain.

  40. m.... j....

    I love this guy.
    so f*cking talented.

  41. d.... w....

    pure british talent KEEP GOING ON BENN

    best one on the album, but a great album non the less.

  43. C.... S....

    Love this song.The album is probably one of the best I have bought for a long while.A definite buy I would say.

  44. A.... ....

    I love the fact that Ben wears a suit when he performs! He looks smart, his songs are classy and that makes him all the more desirable :)

  45. r.... ....

    @WeWantEazy187 strickland banks bein a fictional character? ive heard all the songs a few times, its quality

  46. M.... ....

    @maxd2 mate could'nt agree more

  47. r.... ....

    what did he go prison for?

  48. i.... ....

    Jog on with your latent racism kid.

  49. D.... D....

    I actually respect this guy. He can sing which is good and he actually makes some good shit. Not too big on his rap whic is him I suppose, but I still think he has talent. I applaud you Mr Plan B person =]

  50. R.... J....
