[Chorus: Ken Oak]

Smile, smile... smile for me

Why don'tcha smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[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 gettin' 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 really wonder if I made the right decision

The future of my seed in the hands of my homies

One's in and out, the other's duckin from 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?

[Chorus:]

Smile, smile... smile for me

Why don'tcha smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[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 tuggin at my feet

Feelin out of reach with myself in time of need

Out of my zone, fully losin control

And no amount of dope can make my problems just go

I'm losin 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, feelin' stuck

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

And I know in the future I'm a lose the ones I love

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

So I keep livin' with my hopes and ambitions

Enjoy my stay on Earth, flash my pearly whites

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

[Chorus:]

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me

[KevNish:]

Chillin' in the Village feelin' right

In the mornin' yawnin cause the doja got me high

My scrambled Cinemax and HBO is out of sight

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

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

Thinkin' how she fell in love

With a pimp, wantin' a hit, wantin' none of the above

Now some kid's up in the mix, playa's never usin 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 wrong

Educated with the answer to 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

[Chorus:]

Smile, smile... smile for me

Why don'tcha smile, you can be free

In a little while, your heart will see

Just like a child, smile for me...
