Smile
[Hook: Ken Oak]
Smile, smile for me
Why don't you smile, you can be free
In a little while, your heart will see
Just like a child, smile for me
[Verse 1: Prohgress]
Yo, stress is eatin' me alive
Can't enjoy a moment, even worry on the rise
9 times out of 10, when you stop to smell the roses
Is when the opposition sneaks right under your noses
I keep my eyes open, for enemies and fakes
My body's getting tired, how long can they wait?
What's it gonna take, one mistake and they nail ya
Mama can't wait 'til she can label me a failure
50 in the hole and it's blurring out my vision
Sometimes I wonder if I really made the right decision
The future of my seed in the hands of my homies
One's in and out, the other's ducking for the police
I reciprocate, work my fingers to the bone
7 days a week in this shitty studio
I got one hope, if it's gone then it's all bad
But Catch never sleep, what if he dies in a car crash?
[Hook: Ken Oak]
Smile, smile for me
Why don't you smile, you can be free
In a little while, your heart will see
Just like a child, smile for me
[Verse 2: J-Splif]
Yo, I'm in a choke hold, it's gettin harder to breath
Havin terrifying dreams in my sleep, shit is deep
I try to fly away, but someone's tugging at my feet
Feeling out of reach with myself in time of need
Out of my zone, fully losing control
And no amount of dope can make my problems just go
I'm losing my sanity, so I take a few hits
Escape from reality cause the truth makes me sick
Another gloomy day, the sun's been out of touch
Locked in my room all alone, feeling stuck
The pressure's kicking in, and this Prozac ain't enough
And I know in the future I'ma lose the ones I love
It scares me to death, but the clock won't stop ticking
So I keep living with my hopes and ambitions
Enjoy my stay on Earth, flash my pearly whites
'Cause when it hit your turn, you gon' take an early flight
[Hook]
In a little while, your heart will see
Just like a child, smile for me
[Verse 3: KevNish]
Chilling in the Village feeling right
In the morning yawning 'cause the doja got me high
My scrambled Cinemax and HBO is out of sight
I'm infomercial zoning, do I flip or do I buy?
I'm messing with this chick, caught on my dick
Thinking how she fell in love
With a pimp, wanting a hit, wanting none of the above
Now some kid's up in the mix, playas never use a glove
My sidekick's out of service 'cause my anytime is up
Eyes is closed, 'cause I'm hopin' when I open 'em
Time won't go back to 1999 when my mind was grown
Educated with the answer to th open doors
Hold the phone, pause
You's a fool, wanna make it in the swimmin pool
Blew his cool
My reflections need a miracle
Life is full of everything I never wanted
Dive in, thank the Lord I can't swim
[Hook: Ken Oak]
Smile, smile for me
Why don't you smile, you can be free
In a little while, your heart will see
Just like a child, smile for me
