smile
smile. smile for me
why don'tcha smile
you can be free
in a little while
your heart will see
just like a child
smile for me
yo
stress is eatin' me alive
can't enjoy a moment
even worry on the rise
9 times out of 10
when you stop to smell the roses
is when the opposition sneaks right under your noses
i keep my eyes open
for enemies and fakes
my body's gettin' tired
how long can they wait?
what's it gonna take
one mistake and they nail ya
mama can't wait 'til she can label me a failure
50 in the hole and it's blurring out my vision
sometimes i really wonder if i made the right decision
the future of my seed in the hands of my homies
one's in and out
the other's duckin from the police
i reciprocate
work my fingers to the bone
7 days a week in this shitty studio
i got one hope
if it's gone then it's all bad
but catch never sleep
what if he dies in a car crash?
smile
smile. smile for me
why don'tcha smile
you can be free
in a little while
your heart will see
just like a child
smile for me
yo
i'm in a choke hold
it's gettin harder to breath
havin terrifying dreams in my sleep
shit is deep
i try to fly away
but someone's tuggin at my feet
feelin out of reach with myself in time of need
out of my zone
fully losin control
and no amount of dope can make my problems just go
i'm losin my sanity
so i take a few hits
escape from reality cause the truth makes me sick
another gloomy day
the sun's been out of touch
locked in my room all alone
feelin' stuck
the pressure's kickin' in
and this prozac ain't enough
and i know in the future i'm a lose the ones i love
it scares me to death
but the clock won't stop tickin'
so i keep livin' with my hopes and ambitions
enjoy my stay on earth
flash my pearly whites
cause when it hits your turn
you gon' take an early flight
in a little while
your heart will see
just like a child
smile for me
chillin' in the village feelin' right
in the mornin' yawnin cause the doja got me high
my scrambled cinemax and hbo is out of sight
i'm infomercial zonin'
do i flip or do i buy?
i'm messin' with this chick
caught on my dick
thinkin' how she fell in love
with a pimp
wantin' a hit
wantin' none of the above
now some kid's up in the mix
playa's never usin glove
my sidekick's out of service cause my anytime is up
eyes is closed
cause i'm hopin' when i open 'em
time won't go back to 1999 when my mind was wrong
educated with the answer to open doors
hold the phone
pause
you's a fool
wanna make it in the swimmin pool
blew his cool
my reflections need a miracle
life is full
of everything i never wanted
dive in
thank the lord i can't swim
smile
smile. smile for me
why don'tcha smile
you can be free
in a little while
your heart will see
just like a child
smile for me.
