Smile Ft. 2Pac Lyrics

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)
Smile for me
(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 about)
Won't you smile
(No doubt, smile for me now)
Just smile
(And the next generation)

Now as I open up my story with the blaze in your blunts
And you can picture thoughts slowly upon 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 tomorrow's 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

To many hassles in my local life, survivin' the strain Scarface - Smile Ft. 2Pac - http://motolyrics.com/scarface/smile-ft-2pac-lyrics.html
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
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
(Smile for me now)
Just smile
(Smile)
Smile for me
(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 about)
Won't you smile
(No doubt, smile for me now)
Just smile
(And the next generation)

Fuck the world as we [unverified] and witness furious speeds
Of nasty 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 penitenturies 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
And as you journey into outerspace
May the angels help to lead the way
Shine up on your soul to keep you safe
And all the homies that done passed away

They 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
We say the prayers for our homie 'Pac
Smile

Smile for me
All ya need to do is smile
Woah, smile for me
Come on, smile for me
