Smile Lyrics

I hide my tears from the crowd
By smiling

(talking)

Chorus:
I'm even smiling for me,
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me,
Smiling for something,
I'm 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 my wall
Gotta keep proving I'm great
I'm so sick of it all
Gotta keep a smile on my face
Even if I slip and I fall
Gotta have a mask for the pain
If you wanna 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 trying to catch up the chase
Feeling like I'm trapped in a 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 so 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 U Down"
Hey, you know the kid on "Hold U 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
Think another way to throw it now
F*cking everyday I blow it now
Gotta get away I know it now

Chorus: x 2
I'm even smiling for me,The Alchemist - Smile - http://motolyrics.com/the-alchemist/smile-lyrics.html
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me,
Smiling for something,
I'm 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 hustla who provided for what's family and did it cold
Cock the obstacles and the challenges
Make a competition 'bout of this
Spit it for my homie Alchemist
Hold up let me find another style for this:
Come-with-the-energy-making-me-wanna-eru pt
Sippin'-a-lil-of-remy-up-out-of-my-cup
Come-with-the-literal-cush-I'm-taking-a- puff
Alchemist-come-with-the-rhythm-and-now-I -be-f*ckin'-it-up
Rap-in-another-capella-we-gonna-be-doing -the-sh*t-we-be-doing
And-I'm-killing-I'm-breaking-them-off-wi th-a choir
I-got-the-remedy-that'd-be-filling-my-po cket-with-paper
I'm-gonna-be-tellin-the-haters-that-don' t-stop
Until-I'm-on-top-of-the-world I stay focused
'til I'm gone, know what to be ferocious
Make your body move like law
Make the cane move like Moses
Make them wanna 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

Chorus x 3
I'm even smiling for me,
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me,
Smiling for something,
I'm 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 me smiling
