Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future
But through whatever you see
Through all the rain and the pain
You gotta keep your sense of humor
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
Remember that
Mmm, yeah
Keep ya head up, yeah
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, and crack sales
Hustlin' and heart be a nigga culture
Or the repercutions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures
Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches
Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures
Why shed tears, save your sympathy
My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary
Here's a message to the newborns, waitin' to breathe
If you believe then you can achieve, just look at me
Against all odds, though life is 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
Smile for me, won't you smile (smile for me now)
Just smile, smile for me (smile)
(What cha lookin' all sad for, nigga, you black, smile for me now)
Smile for me (nigga, you ain't got nothin' to be worried 'bout)
Won't you smile (no doubt, smile for me now)
Just smile for me (and the next generation)
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'm a dreamer
Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game
Overlookin' his tomorrows and they finally came
Look back on childhood memories and I'm still feelin' the pain
Turnin' circles in my life came to dealin' cocaine
Too 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'd change
But when I focus on reality, we broke and in chains
Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big
Over Football chose to cook raw, wouldn't take but I did
And after all my momma's thankin' God for blessin' the child
All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile, smile
Smile for me (won't you smile)
Won't you smile for me
Fuck the world as we unloading, witness furious speeds
Unanswered questions keep us all stressin', curious G's
Backstabbed and bleedin', fuckin' 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, and desperate hopes they'd get us
Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins
Since I ain't in many penitentiaries, the best revenge is fuck friends
We military-minded soldiers, bustin' shots blindly, tryin' to find Jehovah to help me
Somebody save me
Lost and crazy, scared to drop a seed, hopin' I ain't cursed my babies
Maybe now niggas feel me now, picture my pain
Embrace my words, make the world change
And still I smile, nigga
And now a moment of silence
Let us pray (all you got to do is smile for me, oh)
And as you journey into outerspace (smile for me)
May the angels help to lead the way (smile for me) (won't you just smile for me)
May the prayers that our families made
Shine up on your soul to keep you safe
And all the homies that done passed away (smile for me)
They there to greet you as you pass the gates
And as you headed to the tunnel's light (won't you just smile for me)
I hope it leads to eternal life
We say the prayers for the homie 'Pac (smile for me)
Won't you just smile for me (oh, oh, smile)
Smile
Smile for me (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Won't you just smile for me (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Oh
Oh, oh-oh
Smile for me
All you need to do is smile for me
Oh, ooh, oh, smile for me, come on
Smile for me
