|
I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling |
|
By smiling |
|
I'm even smiling for me |
|
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me |
|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|
Now what you know about what smiles are all about |
|
Gotta keep moving 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 |
|
Feeling 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 holding now |
|
Thinking 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 smiling for me |
|
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me |
|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|
Now what you know about what smiles are all about |
|
I'm even smiling for me |
|
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me |
|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|
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 with the energy, making me wanna erupt |
|
Sipping a little of Remy up out of my cup |
|
Come with the lyrical, kush I'm taking a puff |
|
Alchemist, come with the rhythm and I'm a be fucking it up |
|
Rap ain't another comparable, gonna be doing |
|
The shit I be doing, I'm killing 'em, breaking 'em off of the gwap |
|
I got the remedy that'll be filling my pocket with papers |
|
And I'm a be telling 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 the waters 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 |
|
I'm even smiling for me |
|
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me |
|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|
Now what you know about what smiles are all about |
|
I'm even smiling for me |
|
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me |
|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|

|

|
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling |
|
Now what you know about what smiles are all about |
|
I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling |
|
I go out and spend my money |
|
So they can see smiling |
