D-MAC - Smile lyrics

rate me

Baby smile, smile

baby smile, smile uhh

when you smile, smile

let the things alright, smile

Young nigga and Jacks never been outside the county

they they don't stop his dreams of one day getting about it

no, life's rough, time's tough

you feel like all that prayer ain't gonna never be enough

he never met his father 'cause his father's lied up

but he don't give a fuck he claimed it anyway

he hit and quit his mama, way back in the day

said that baby one here's when our period was late

her mama kicked her out and told her find somewhere to stay

she turned to the drugs and the streets thud to thug

fuckin niggas for that rare money

I sign and had a lesson I don't wanna get money

big money, big money 'cause he ain't gonna school feeling so uncool

no name brand clothes no jewel and some shoes

smoking on purple to take away blues

but keep brind the homie got, got a plan for you

You got a smile so all my nigga in the hood, what's good

you got a smile, to all my niggas in the block,

shit don't stop, my nigga you gotta smile

hey big homie you gotta smile,

love man you gotta smile, yeah

Mama got two boys her proud and joy

but been in.. they was too all for toys

the time she get annoyed wondering in our heart

is that hard far day the school I am employed

no, she's did it everything she could

everything she could and so get em out the hood

they was prada to society 'cause growing up in the slums

it's how you gotta be, that's how I beat

she provide us food, clothes and a shelter

without the sperm donate that the helper

they grow nine they own us calling from prison

and mama gotta tell em that his brother ain't living

it breaks my heart that the news had to eb giving

can't imagine how I feel, here your sounds kill

sometimes it makes her cry she just wanna know why

but life's goes on He looking down from the sky with a smile

To all my mamas in the hood, what's good

you got a smile, and say a prayer to the sky

and hold your head high, and baby you got a smile

smile, I said baby you gotta smile

sweat heart you gotta smile

yeah without you girl

shit don't stop, my nigga you gotta smile

hey big homie you gotta smile,

love man you gotta smile, yeah

We all the..the storms that cause damage

but we gotta remain grateful for all we take for granted

before we ask for anything we gotta tell to Lord thanks

'cause we alive man a lot of folks man

but we complain about shit like it's owe to us

getting greedy and all them blessings to get all to us

could you imagine waking up when I want your five senses

..listen to your favorite rapper spitting

and I hear it about a good movie that you cant' even vision

couldn't smell mama fried chicken

I've been able to taste it,

that would be hard as people who can't walking

we're complaining bout cause ain't a benz but shit

please that's a rollerstar and get you from your house to your job

real talk, lessons learned though the ups and downs

it could be worse so throw it all

We gotta smile to all the boys and the girls all around the world

hey you gotta smile, I know times get hard, keep faith from God

and no matter what smile, I say no matter what smile

don't let nothing bring you down yeah yeah

everybody we gotta smile

I know it's esy to say and done

but every day we gottta try

a lot of times we get so caught up of what we don't have

and don't appreciate the thing we do

you gotta smile
