Smile

[Hook: Ken Oak]

Smile, smile for me

Why don't you smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[Verse 1: Prohgress]

Yo, stress is eatin' me alive

Can't enjoy a moment, even worry on the rise

9 times out of 10, when you stop to smell the roses

Is when the opposition sneaks right under your noses

I keep my eyes open, for enemies and fakes

My body's getting tired, how long can they wait?

What's it gonna take, one mistake and they nail ya

Mama can't wait 'til she can label me a failure

50 in the hole and it's blurring out my vision

Sometimes I wonder if I really made the right decision

The future of my seed in the hands of my homies

One's in and out, the other's ducking for the police

I reciprocate, work my fingers to the bone

7 days a week in this shitty studio

I got one hope, if it's gone then it's all bad

But Catch never sleep, what if he dies in a car crash?

[Hook: Ken Oak]

Smile, smile for me

Why don't you smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[Verse 2: J-Splif]

Yo, I'm in a choke hold, it's gettin harder to breath

Havin terrifying dreams in my sleep, shit is deep

I try to fly away, but someone's tugging at my feet

Feeling out of reach with myself in time of need

Out of my zone, fully losing control

And no amount of dope can make my problems just go

I'm losing my sanity, so I take a few hits

Escape from reality cause the truth makes me sick

Another gloomy day, the sun's been out of touch

Locked in my room all alone, feeling stuck

The pressure's kicking in, and this Prozac ain't enough

And I know in the future I'ma lose the ones I love

It scares me to death, but the clock won't stop ticking

So I keep living with my hopes and ambitions

Enjoy my stay on Earth, flash my pearly whites

'Cause when it hit your turn, you gon' take an early flight

[Hook]

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[Verse 3: KevNish]

Chilling in the Village feeling right

In the morning yawning 'cause the doja got me high

My scrambled Cinemax and HBO is out of sight

I'm infomercial zoning, do I flip or do I buy?

I'm messing with this chick, caught on my dick

Thinking how she fell in love

With a pimp, wanting a hit, wanting none of the above

Now some kid's up in the mix, playas never use a glove

My sidekick's out of service 'cause my anytime is up

Eyes is closed, 'cause I'm hopin' when I open 'em

Time won't go back to 1999 when my mind was grown

Educated with the answer to th open doors

Hold the phone, pause

You's a fool, wanna make it in the swimmin pool

Blew his cool

My reflections need a miracle

Life is full of everything I never wanted

Dive in, thank the Lord I can't swim

[Hook: Ken Oak]

Smile, smile for me

Why don't you smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me
