Yeah...
Marlboro hanging from my lips while I'm posted outside,
Watching that pretty little thing got me killing my pride.
Trying not to stare, trying not to look too long,
But damn, every time she pass, something feel too strong.
She clocking in, hair tied back, handling business,
Meanwhile I'm over here acting like I ain't noticing the difference.
'Cause most people come and go, they all talk the same,
But she got something different that I just can't explain.
Got me lighting up another Marlboro, watching smoke drift,
Thinking how one damn smile can completely change a shift.
Stress been eating at my head, life been kicking my ass,
But she walk by and for a minute all that bullshit pass.
I'm trying to build a company, trying to build a name,
Long nights, hard work, putting everything in the game.
Ain't nobody coming to save me, I know that for a fact,
That's why I'm betting on myself and putting everything on black.
But damn...
That pretty little thing got me distracted again,
Got me fixing my shirt and acting different than I've been.
Usually I don't care, usually I keep moving,
But she got me overthinking every damn thing I'm doing.
Maybe it's the way she laughs,
Maybe it's the way she talks,
Maybe it's the confidence she got
When she walk that walk.
Meanwhile I'm fighting stress every day of my life,
Trying to turn these lonely nights into something that's right.
Marlboro after Marlboro, watching the ember glow,
Wondering if she notices me or if she don't even know.
I ain't rich yet, still grinding for the dream,
Still putting together plans and building up the team.
Trying to own my own business instead of punching a clock,
Trying to build something solid that nobody can stop.
And maybe one day when the hard work pays,
When the company's rolling and I'm seeing better days,
I'll laugh about these nights when I was broke and stressed,
With a Marlboro burning holes through my chest.
Till then I'm chasing money, chasing purpose, chasing goals,
Trying to keep my demons from collecting what they stole.
And every now and then when life gets rough as hell,
I catch sight of that pretty little thing and all is well.
Yeah...
Smoke in the air.
Dreams in my head.
A company to build.
And one pretty little thing I can't forget.
