Smile |
| My tragedy’s different |
| My life’s deep, listen, |
| Gotta bail, I’m limpin |
| Walked outta hell’s kitchen |
| Why bother cherishin' |
| My past is everything, wrong, and my arrogance |
| Walk down the stairs pissin' |
| Cop us cause they’re bitchin' |
| Life isnt fair, singin' |
| Blues and my rap drippin' |
| Ooze out the blood Sinkin |
| Deep down to earth thinking |
| Leave out a nerp chicken |
| I should run, forfit, and everything I know LISTEN, |
| I was The misdirected |
| I was The least expected |
| Hop on And get rejected |
| Walk on And feel neglected |
| I feel Like I’m the message |
| Unheard But I’m the message |
| I’m the last prolific remaining offer from the gutter |
| SHOT was my girlfriend |
| When We was younger |
| Her I was scarred yo |
| Bullets I survived though |
| Death It’s came easy |
| Truth the games needs me |
| Never let them see me down, smile while I’m bleeding |
| Smile When your struggilin |
| Smile when Your in jail |
| Smile When your dead broke |
| Smile And the rents due |
| Smile You ain’t got friends now |
| Smile And no one knows you |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| Smile When he leaves you |
| Smile Cause girl he needs you |
| Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do |
| Smile Dispite the war |
| Smile despite the pain yo |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| To my man Kareem in prison |
| I can’t speak your name |
| It hurt me that you never listened |
| It can’t be the same |
| I had to grow my intutision |
| Had me deep in pain |
| Cause I knew my options were either broke or the prison chains |
| I can’t do it |
| I can’t see it, look |
| Damnit, I can’t blow it |
| I got a judge tellin me my lifes key |
| They will throw it |
| Nuh-uh, no sir |
| I plan to have a chauffeur |
| It seems to me this chopping crack is really going no where |
| Therefore |
| I’m resurrected |
| They call me |
| The poor Injection |
| I infect you with the real |
| The Dustyfeetphilosahectagos |
| I spit, so sick |
| I skid out |
| I’m fallin' |
| I’m Shit outta luck and I’m trapped but I’ll get out |
| Can You Help me |
| I’m goin crazy |
| My mom plays trix and I beat on the floor like bush wick |
| My fists bloody and blistered |
| A pair Like I’m balistic |
| I just stare at the red and smile while I’m bleedin |
| Smile When your struggilin |
| Smile When Your in jail |
| Smile When your dead broke |
| Smile And the rents due |
| Smile You ain’t got friends now |
| Smile And no one knows you |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| Smile When he leaves you |
| Smile Cause girl he needs you |
| Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do |
| Smile Dispite the war |
| Smile despite the pain yo |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| There are a few things you gotta take into acount |
| I’m not an entertainer I’ve never been a clown |
| I was born where tha mothers give birth while they frown |
| I would walk with the kids that would bbbrrraaaa a sound ah |
| Never really thought I’d make it to fourteen |
| And anybody wanted to fight I was most keen |
| Plus I had a little temper it was often forseen |
| Yo say somethin bout my momma id shoot ya dead out clean |
| But ya gotta keep in mind that I grew up Mogadishu (tell em) |
| The only law was gun law |
| And we don’t walk with a pistol |
| You get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment |
| Cause how will you be heard when those big boys are firin' |
| War is no place for a child |
| Especially if hes rollin' with an AK and a smile |
| He had witnesses on mother bloody in a towel |
| But please, please, please, please |
| But never let em see you down smile while you bleedin' |
| Smile When your struggilin |
| Smile When Your in jail |
| Smile When your dead broke |
| Smile And the rents due |
| Smile You ain’t got friends now |
| Smile And no one knows you |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| Smile When he leaves you |
| Smile Cause girl he needs you |
| Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do |
| Smile Dispite the war |
| Smile despite the pain yo |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| Smile When your struggilin |
| Smile When Your in jail |
| Smile When your dead broke |
| Smile And the rents due |
| Smile You ain’t got friends now |
| Smile And no one knows you |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
| Smile When he leaves you |
| Smile Cause girl he needs you |
| Smile plenty single mothers cry the tears you do |
| Smile Dispite the war |
| Smile despite the pain yo |
| Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding |
