Smile

Smile otherwise I'd break inside
Barons of family pride
The pressure kills my high
You could mix some different flavors, cause I can't decide
Move in the shadows but I swear I could never hide
I'm used to being the underdog, amongst a flock of sheeps
Steady balancing my rap career, with confident degree
See I rap my name gon flip if I get a T free
I'll have to tell her that no course of action could ever master me Gees
As I skeet, down the street, with my g's, thinkin' dreams
Talkin beef, smokin' weed, playin' beats, writin Heat
I could hardly fathom, let alone patent this vision
Left my insecurities in my hometown and proceeded my mission
To used to seeing my mum, break down in the kitchen
Cause my father didn't help, and welfare systems never listened
Society's fucked, hardly said but always written
I know you love your girl, your just a pearl that needs fixin
Smile

Just Smile *Smile chant* Smile, Just Smile *Smile chant* Smile
All we do is just Smile *Smile chant* Smile, Smile

Smile through the struggle, I been laughing in pain
Tryin' to see the light but it's just more of the same
See my pigment... leaves the white skinned tense
Cops harass cause my windows tint
Folks cross the street... like I'm really tryin' to steal from you
Just like your people stole from me
Let's have the conversation hardly had
I'm super proud that my brother is a dad
But his daughter scared to go to school cause they may shoot it Up one day
How she post to grow
What can I say? More than brotha I don't know
See the dichotomy of this world is too crazy
Need more lobotomies for oppressors and all of the racists
Not tryin' preach... but the fact is this under-privilege black kid
Is speaking more truth than your pastor and your priest
F your belief, I don't care what you say
People of color gettin' killed in every which way
With no one to call, never resolved, or a trial
All we do is share a post, Be upset, and then we just Smile
Smile
