Smile Songtext / Lyric

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

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



I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling

I go out and spend my money

So they can see smiling
