Smile

I just need you to do one thing right now no matter where you at
No matter where you from no matter what you going through

I got some scars been through wars that I wouldn't mention
Senseless violence as a youngin I was so relentless
Shit a have you itching how they living different off they pigment
No hands given round here only clips extended
So no surprise how my eyes done seen some detention
Looked to the sun up on the yard I made a commitment
Am I a menace or am I a victim of the system
One thing I know if you ain't live it you can't show them different God so forgiving
I smile because I know proud of all my lows
Im proud all of my highs never pass me by
The Devil is a lie with pride and divide
No need to cry a blessing in disguise yea

Smile oh smile we been going through some things for a while
It's hard to smile oh smile though your face we ain't seen for a while
I smile because I know I'm proud of all my lows proud all of my highs they won't pass my by
Just smile oh smile we been going through some things for a while it's hard to smile

Kiss your son on the forehead & tell him it's gone be alright
Cuz ain't nobody going through it like he going through it nowadays that's on life
Ain't nobody there to wipe your tears all this violence that's a silent cry
Successful with dividing us for years I don't see nobody asking why
We don't smile when we together smile when we successful
Just smile when we high inside we dying
My hood plagued with crime & money controls her mind
And that controls mine I really think that it's time to

Smile oh smile we been going through some things for a while
It's hard to smile oh smile though your face we ain't seen for a while
I smile because I know I'm proud of all my lows proud all of my highs they won't pass my by
Just smile oh smile we been going through some things for a while it's hard to smile

Yea smile just like that ha its crazy how they demonize us for what we been through
And we just a product of you know some whole other shit but I just wanted to tell you
Be proud of yourself and I pray that everything that you been through become your gold
And God can use you to use you to speak to somebody else or something like that Smile
