Smile

Intro: 2Pac

Theres gon´ be some stuff you gon´ see that is gon´ make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain & the pain, you´ve got to keep your sense of humor. You´ve got to be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that. Mmm, yea. Keep ya head up.Yea.

Verse One: 2Pac

Our lifestyles be close captioned addicted to fatal attractions Pictures of actions be played back in the midst of mashin´ No fairy tales for this young black male Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, & crack sales Hustlin´ & heart be a nigga culture or the repercutions while bustin´ on backstabbin´ vultures Sellin´ my soul for material wishes, fast cars & bitches Wishin´ I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures Why shed tears? Save your sympathy My childhood yeahrs were spent buryin´ my peers in the cemetary Here is a message to the newborns waitin´ to breathe If you believe then you can achieve Just look at me Against all odds, though life´s hard we carry on Livin´ in the projects, broke with no lights on To all the seeds that follow me protect your essence Born with less, but you still precious Just smile for me now

Chours: Johnny P, 2Pac

Smiiiiiile for me , won´t you smile (smile for me now) Just smiiiile (smile), smile for me (What cha lookin´ all sad for? Nigga you black, smile for me now) Smiiiiiile for me (nigga you aint got nothin´ to be worried about) Won´t you smile (no doubt, smile for me now) just smiiiiile (And the next generation)

Verse Two: Scarface

Now as I open up my story with the blaze a your blunts And you can picture thoughts slowly up on phrases I wrote And I can walk you through the days that I done I often wish that I could save everyone but I am a dreamer Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game overlookin´ his tomorrows & they finally came? Look back on childhood memories & I am still feelin´ the pain Turnin´ circles in my life came to dealin´ cocaine To many hassles in my local life, survivin´ the strain And a man without a focus, life could drive him insane Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin´ it would change But when I focus on reality we broke & in chains Had a dream of livin´ wealthy & makin´ it big Over football chose to cook raw, & takin´ a gig And after all my momma´s thankin´ God for blessin´ the child All my momma gots to do now is collect it & smile Smile

Chorus (without 2pac)

Verse Three: 2Pac

F*ck the world as we ???? & witness furious speeds of unaswered questions keep us all stressin´, curious G´s Backstabbed & bleedin´, f*ckin´ thoughts laced with weed Learnin´, duckin´ stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin´ Inhalin´ sherm smoke, visualized the flames Will I be smothered by my own pain? Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us Takin´ pictures for the feds, & desperate hopes they would get us Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins Since I aint in many penitenturies the best revenge is f*ck friends We military minded soldiers, bustin´ shots blindly Tryin´ to find Jehovah to help me Somebody save me Lost & crazy, scared to drop a seed hopin´ I aint cursed my babies Maybe now niggas feel me now, picture my pain embrace my words make the world change And still I smile nigga

(Scarface talking)

And now a moment of silence, let us pray And as you journey into outerspace may the angels help to lead the way May the prayers that the families made shine up on your soul to keep you safe And all the homies that done passed away Be there to greet you as you pass the gates And as you headed to the tunnel´s light I hope it leads to eternal life Can we say a prayer for our homie ´Pac?

Smile

(Smile for me) (All ya need to do is smile) (Woooo smile for me) (C´mon smile for me)
