[00:17.76]I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling
[00:18.72]By smiling
[00:24.18]I'm even smiling for me
[00:24.99]Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
[00:33.75]Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
[00:36.81]Now what you know about what smiles are all about
[00:40.80]Gotta keep moving the weight
[00:42.48]Winter, summer, spring to the fall
[00:44.13]Gotta keep food on my plate
[00:45.69]Gotta keep plaques on the wall
[00:47.40]Gotta keep proving I'm great
[00:49.17]I'm so sick of it all
[00:50.73]Gotta keep smile on my face
[00:52.44]Even if I slip and I fall
[00:54.15]Gotta have mask for the pain
[00:55.80]If you want to master the game
[00:57.42]I was only after the props
[00:58.83]Really I was never after the fame
[01:00.81]I was never after the Range
[01:02.43]Now I'm like a rat in a race
[01:04.08]Always tryna catch up the chase
[01:05.70]Feeling like I'm trapped in the maze
[01:07.38]Never let 'em see me when I'm down
[01:09.03]Never let 'em see me with a frown
[01:10.71]Even when the game beat me to the ground
[01:12.45]I get up and go another round
[01:14.01]Lock it up and show another town
[01:15.69]Break it up and roll another pound
[01:17.13]Change it up and go another route
[01:18.93]Flip and make a whole another sound
[01:20.64]Like the way I did on hold it down
[01:22.38]Yeah, you know the kid'll hold it down
[01:23.85]Never knew the name, you know it now
[01:25.62]Never knew the face, you know it now
[01:27.33]Look at all this cake I'm holding now
[01:28.92]Thinking of a way to throw it now

[02:01.95]That's what's up to family, I'm that committed
[02:03.69]The only way that we can all get the cake
[02:05.43]Is if we get up, how we got to split it
[02:07.14]If you got a verse, you better spit it
[02:08.79]If you see a job, you better get it
[02:10.44]And if you can hoop, stay on yo' pivot
[02:11.88]'Cause the truth is this is life you gotta live it
[02:13.62]Try not to travel down the wrong road
[02:15.45]So that when your legacy is told
[02:17.04]You was known to be a hustler who provided
[02:18.75]For his family and did it cold
[02:20.40]Conquer obstacles and challenges
[02:21.99]Make your competition bow to this

[02:38.70]And I'm a be telling the haters I don't stop
[02:40.32]Until I'm on top of the world, I stay focused
[02:41.88]Until I'm gone, no one be ferocious
[02:43.53]Make your body move like law
[02:45.18]Make the cane move like Moses
[02:46.89]Make the waters move like a shark
[02:48.54]Trees move like a summer breeze
[02:50.22]Smile in your face tell you to grind hard
[02:52.29]'Til you get you one of these
