| Had to force me to smile |
| I’m smiling inside I’m grateful so never look a gift horse in the mouth |
| Gettin tougher every mile strugglin to hold it down |
| Makes it harder for me to smile |
| How my upside look now all the love that i found |
| Gave me upside down frowns |
| The more I look for it the more it itches |
| The more I scratchin the stitches actin as if it’s not a load I chose to carry |
| Bury me 6 feet deep beneath Atlantis (please) |
| I never planned this to be as hard as it seems |
| Deemed a carcass of Dreams an artist of masterpieces |
| Givin the last of me is just part of the territory |
| Every story is a glorious link in the chain |
| A stream of rain fall and train rails the awe can make the brain fail |
| (Smile) I try to every now and then but every now and then |
| I’ll find a bone to pick that’s Missing Calcium |
| Is it a mystery the outcome isn’t easy to stomach |
| Wanted a fountain of truth in the youth but all I could do is (Smile) |
| Its never quite the Plight we intended when light is suspended |
| And we try to bend it to shape our darkness |
| If we wait as artists it will fall into place |
| So I’ll keep running this race with a smile on my face |
| Where can i turn when both cheeks have been bruised swollen |
| Frozen in time Emmit till casket open hoping one day to smile |
| Learn it’s no peace but we press forward |
| Don’t wanna allow police beatings excessive force |
| Peeping out Egypt and we thinking how they looked |
| King Tut and the sphinx even got a facebook |
| And you facing a crooked government they put the drugs in the community |
| Felonies off to prison where the brothers went |
| Smile? how can I when they shutting down family businesses |
| Smile? how can I when they handing out life sentences |
| Smile you’ll do more for the world then frown |
| Enjoy when u look around avoid what’s putting you down |
| Kill 'em with kindness when you smile your highness and then they bow |
| They couldn’t figure you out let’s face it you took the town |
| Who you calling a rookie now cause you couldn’t cage a brothas thunder |
| Must’ve forgot age ain’t nothing but a number homie smile |
