| Everybody know how much hate this world brung out
|
| I guess that’s why babies be screaming when they come out
|
| Minute after minute, struggle can’t take one off
|
| The days is even dark, somebody musta pissed the Sun off
|
| Now, how the hell am I supposed to smile at that?
|
| Never understood how boys be cheesing when their pockets flat
|
| Can’t help slackers, gotta cut the love off
|
| Hanging ‘round broke people, broke thoughts rubbed off
|
| I don’t do nothing for the sound of applause
|
| The only thing I truly own can be found in my drawers
|
| Frustration and aggravation, what’s the number one cause?
|
| Inside of fake homies, haters, baby-mamas and laws
|
| My own problem, I can’t iron it out
|
| So now I’m crying every night on my psychiatrist’s couch
|
| Going in, thinking ‘bout my dead partners and I teared up
|
| Life is so cold, I watch the news to get cheered up
|
| I wish I could smile, baby
|
| Ninety percent of the time, I usually don’t give a fuck
|
| I’m cool but everybody around me so fucked up
|
| I say I wish I could smile, baby
|
| Life is a bitch then you die
|
| Maybe then me and my people can smile
|
| Y’all already know it’s been hard and sometimes I wanted to die
|
| And since I never been too much of a man to cry
|
| Many days with a face full of water
|
| Stressing like I wonder if my daughter’s really my daughter
|
| Bitchass IRS done froze all of my bank accounts
|
| Keith Harris, I’ma whoop your ass for that, just giving you something to think
|
| about
|
| Tampering with evidence and misdemeanor possessions
|
| State troopers treated a nigga like they saw me with a weapon
|
| Attorney general so greedy, they like, «We need mo'
|
| That’s all you got, Mr. McVey? |
| Ain’t you a CEO?»
|
| It might be easy for you to smile, but you ain’t me
|
| Been on probation since February, but I still ain’t free
|
| 2Pac said you gotta find a way to smile through the bullshit
|
| Otherwise, every ten seconds, you’ll be like, «This some bullshit»
|
| I smoke a blunt to take the pain out
|
| And if I wasn’t blessed, I’d probably try to blow my brains out
|
| Smile
|
| I wish I could smile, baby
|
| Ninety percent of the time, I usually don’t give a fuck
|
| I’m cool but everybody around me so fucked up
|
| I say I wish I could smile, baby
|
| Life is a bitch then you die
|
| Maybe then me and my people can smile
|
| You niggas rather see me frowning than smiling and getting it
|
| But I been had the world on my shoulders, I’m a soldier, God is my witness
|
| Better know the street life will turn you out
|
| But if you a street nigga, that 9-to-5 might burn you out
|
| So you thinking of a better way to get cash, dodging the feds and the dope pad
|
| I-10 with a chicken and a dough stack as the world turns slow, I move fast
|
| X on my back and the penitentiary on my heels
|
| Got me weaving through these snakes, ready to bust the steel, peel at will
|
| That’s real, so why in the fuck would I trust y’all haters?
|
| Y’all ain’t ‘bout that gangsta shit, you can put my name on some paper
|
| Ain’t no loyalty in you, ain’t no rules that you play by
|
| It’s cutthroat on everybody for the fame and the stay fly
|
| Is you serious? |
| I thank God for the mind that he gave me
|
| To help me navigate the street life and to slip these shadies
|
| Klondike Kat gon' keep them snakes back ‘cause they hatin' is crazy
|
| But I’ma stay forever real until they dirt and they grave me, that’s why I smile |
