Smile Scarface, Johnny P, 2Pac

[00:00.01] There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
[00:02.05] That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future
[00:04.59] But through whatever you see
[00:06.13] Through all the rain and the pain
[00:07.49] You gotta keep your sense of humor
[00:09.76] You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
[00:12.36] Remember that!
[00:16.11] Mmm, yeah, keep ya head up! Yeah
[00:27.08] Our lifestyles be close-captioned, addicted to fatal attractions
[00:30.77] Pictures of actions be played back in the midst of mashin'
[00:33.79] No fairy tales for this young black male
[00:36.31] Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales
[00:39.70] Hustlers hardly think of culture
[00:41.42] Or the repercussions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures
[00:44.59] Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars, and bitches
[00:48.66] Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures
[00:51.52] Why shed tears? Save your sympathy
[00:53.53] My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary
[00:57.75] Here's a message to the newborns waitin' to breathe
[01:00.90] If you believe, then you can achieve just look at me!
[01:04.71] Against all odds, though life is hard we carry on
[01:07.24] Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on
[01:10.01] To all the seeds that follow me, protect your essence
[01:13.44] Born with less, but you still precious
[01:15.92] Just smile for me now!
[01:17.07] Smile for me, won't you smile? (Smile for me now)
[01:22.31] Just smile, smile for me (Smile)
[01:24.83] (What you lookin' all sad for?)
[01:27.42] (Nigga, you black, smile for me now)
[01:29.43] Smile for me
[01:29.71] (Nigga, you ain't got nothin' to be worried about)
[01:31.54] Won't you smile? (No doubt, smile for me now)
[01:35.18] Just smile (And the next generation)
[01:41.00] Now, as I open up my story, with the blaze of your blunts
[01:44.18] And you can picture thoughts slowly, up on phrases I wrote
[01:46.18] And I can walk you through the days that I done
[01:49.55] I often wish that I could save everyone, but I'm a dreamer
[01:53.24] Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game
[01:56.29] Overlookin' his tomorrows, and they finally came?
[01:59.44] Look back on childhood memories, and I'm still feelin' the pain
[02:02.51] Turnin' circles in my 9th grade, dealin' cocaine
[02:05.59] Too many hassles in my local life, survivin' the strain
[02:08.55] And a man without a focus, life could drive him insane
[02:11.62] Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin' it change
[02:14.62] But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains
[02:17.94] Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big
[02:20.88] Over football chose to cook raw, wouldn't take but I did
[02:24.15] And after all my momma's thankin' God for blessin' the child
[02:27.19] All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile, smile!
[02:30.74] Smile for me, won't you smile?
[02:34.94] Just smile, smile for me
[02:37.19] Smile for me
[02:39.89] Won't you smile? Just smile
[02:43.45] Fuck the world, as we unloading, witness furious speeds
[02:45.34] Unanswered questions keep us all stressin', curious G's
[02:48.51] Backstabbed and bleedin'
[02:50.13] Crooked thoughts laced with weed, learnin'
[02:52.26] Duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'
[02:54.95] Inhale the sherm smoke, visualize the flames
[02:58.45] Will I be smothered by my own pain?
[03:00.90] Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to diss us
[03:04.16] Takin' pictures for the feds in desperate hopes they'd get us
[03:07.30] Hit us all, give us plenty centuries
[03:09.49] Forgive my sins, since I entered many penitentiaries
[03:12.36] The best revenge is "Fuck friends!" – we military minded soldiers
[03:16.48] Bustin' shots blindly, tryin' to find Jehovah
[03:19.77] To help me, somebody save me, lost and crazy
[03:22.72] Scared to drop a seed hopin' I ain't cursed my babies
[03:25.72] Maybe now niggas feel me now, picture my pain
[03:28.77] Embrace my words, make the world change
[03:31.46] And still I smile, nigga
[03:32.54] And now a moment of silence, let us pray
[03:44.36] And as you journey into outerspace
[03:46.91] May the angels help to lead the way
[03:50.26] May the prayers that our families made
[03:52.98] Shine up on your soul to keep you safe
[03:56.76] And all the homies that done passed away
[03:59.05] They there to greet you as you pass the gates
[04:02.63] And as you headed to the tunnel's light
[04:05.14] I hope it leads to eternal life
[04:08.80] We say the prayers for our homie 'Pac
[04:11.18] Smile for me, won't you just smile for me?
[04:15.04] Smile for me (Smile)
[04:21.89] Smile for me
[04:28.04] Won't you just smile for me?
[04:42.88] (All you need to do is smile for me)
[04:48.61] (Smile for me)
[04:56.26] Come on smile for me
[04:59.15]
