THE ALCHEMIST - Smile lyrics

rate me

I hide my tears, from the crowd...

by smiliiiiiiiing...

(Eh!) Gotta keep movin the weight

Winter, summer, spring to the fall

Gotta keep food on my plate, gotta keep plaques on the wall

Gotta keep proving I'm great, I'm so sick of it all

Gotta keep smile on my face, even if I slip and I fall

Gotta have mask for the pain, if you want to master the game

I was only after the props, really I was never after the fame

I was never after the Range, now I'm like a rat in a race

Always tryna catch up the chase, feelin like I'm trapped in the maze

Never let 'em see me when I'm down, never let 'em see me with a frown

Even when the game beat me to the ground, I get up and go another round

Lock it up and show another town, break it up and roll another pound

Change it up and go another route, flip and make a whole another sound

Like the way I did on "Hold it Down", yeah you know the kid'll hold it down

Never knew the name, you know it now, never knew the face, you know it now

Look at all this cake I'm holdin now, thinkin of a way to throw it now

Fuck it, everyday I blow it now, gotta get it where I know it now

I'm even smilin for me

Smilin so you know why you cain't hurt me

Smilin for somethin, not hide 'em from fallin

Now what you know about what smiles are all about

Gotta get it how you gotta get it

That's what's up to family, I'm that committed

The only way that we can all get the cake

is if we get up, how we got to split it

If you got a verse, you better spit it

If you see a job, you better get it

and if you can hoop, stay on yo' pivot

'cause the truth is this is life you gotta live it

Try not to travel down the wrong road, so that when your legacy is told

You was known to be a hustler who provided for his family and did it cold

Conquer obstacles and challenges

Make your competition bow to this

Spit it for my homey Alchemist

Hold up! Let me find another style for this:

Come-wit-the-energy-makin-me-wanna-erupt

Sippin-a-little-of-Remy-up-out-of-my-cup

Come-with-the-lyrical-kush-I'm-takin-a-puff

Alchemist-come-wit-the-rhythm-and-I'ma-be-fuckin-it-up

Rap-ain't-another-comparable, gonna-be-doin

The-shit-I-be-doin, I'm-killin-'em-breakin-'em-off-of-the-gwap

I-got-the-remedy-that'll-be-fillin-my-pocket-with-papers

And-I'ma-be-tellin-the-haters-I-don't-stop

Until I'm on top of the world, I stay focused

Until I'm gone, no one be ferocious

Make your body move like law, make the cane move like Moses

Make them wanna move like a shark, trees move like a summer breeze

Smile in your face tell you to grind hard 'til you get you one of these

Eh, you see...

Ehhh....ehhhh....
