Artist: Scarface f/ 2Pac, Johnny P Album: The Untouchable Song: Smile Typed by: jostmatt@bluewin.ch [ 2Pac ] There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see That's gon' make it hard to smile in your 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 Hm Yeah Uh So keep your head up Yeah Yeah [ Verse 1: 2Pac ] 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 Hustle too hard to think of culture Or the repercussions while bustin on backstabbin vultures Sellin my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches Wishin I lived 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 So all the seeds that follow me, protect yo essence Born with less, but you're still precious Just smile for me now [ CHORUS: Johnny P, (2Pac) ] Smile for me (Haha, just smile for me now) Won't you just smile (Smile) Smile Smile for me (What cha lookin all sad for, nigga you black, smile for me now) Smile for me (You ain't got nothin' to be worried about, nigga) Won't you smile (No doubt, smile for me now) Won't you just smile for me (And the next generation...) [ VERSE 2: Scarface ] Now as I open up my story, put the blaze in yo blunts And you can picture thoughts slowly upon phrases I run And I can walk you through the days that are 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 tomorrows and they finally came? Look back on childhood memories and I'm still feelin the pain Turnin circles in my ninth grade, dealin cocaine Too many hassles in my local life, survivin the strain And a man without a focus, life can drive him insane Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin it change But when I focus on reality, we broke and enchained Had a dream of livin wealthy and makin it big Over football chose to cook raw, would take it and dig And after all my momma's thankin God for blessin her child All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile Smile [ Johnny P ] Smile for me Would you smile Would you just smile for me [ Verse 3: 2Pac ] Fuck the world, as we are loc'in witness furious speeds Unanswered questions keep us all stressin, curious G's Backstabbed and bleedin, crooked thoughts laced with weed Learnin, duckin stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin Inhalin sherm smoke, visualize the flames Will I be smothered by my own pain? Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us Takin pictures for the feds in desperate hopes they get us Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins Since I entered many penitentaries 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 [ Scarface ] And now a moment of silence Let us pray And as you journey into outer space May the angels help to lead the way May the prayers that our families made Shine up on your soul to keep you safe And all the homies that have passed away Be there to greet you as you pass the gates And as you head to the tunnel's light I hope it leads to eternal life We say the prayer for the homie 'Pac [ Johnny P ] Smile Would you just smile for me (Smile) Smile for me Would you just smile for me Smile for me All you need to do is smile for me Woooo-oh smile for me Come on Smile for me
