D-Mac Lyrics
"Smile"

Baby smile, smile
baby smile, smile uhh
when you smile, smile
let the things alright, smile

Young nigga and Jacks never been outside the county
they they don't stop his dreams of one day getting about it
no, life's rough, time's tough
you feel like all that prayer ain't gonna never be enough
he never met his father 'cause his father's lied up
but he don't give a fuck he claimed it anyway
he hit and quit his mama, way back in the day
said that baby one here's when our period was late
her mama kicked her out and told her find somewhere to stay
she turned to the drugs and the streets thud to thug
fuckin niggas for that rare money
I sign and had a lesson I don't wanna get money
big money, big money 'cause he ain't gonna school feeling so uncool
no name brand clothes no jewel and some shoes
smoking on purple to take away blues
but keep brind the homie got, got a plan for you

You got a smile so all my nigga in the hood, what's good
you got a smile, to all my niggas in the block,
shit don't stop, my nigga you gotta smile
hey big homie you gotta smile,
love man you gotta smile, yeah

Mama got two boys her proud and joy
but been in.. they was too all for toys
the time she get annoyed wondering in our heart
is that hard far day the school I am employed
no, she's did it everything she could
everything she could and so get em out the hood
they was prada to society 'cause growing up in the slums
it's how you gotta be, that's how I beat
she provide us food, clothes and a shelter
without the sperm donate that the helper
they grow nine they own us calling from prison
and mama gotta tell em that his brother ain't living
it breaks my heart that the news had to eb giving
can't imagine how I feel, here your sounds kill
sometimes it makes her cry she just wanna know why
but life's goes on He looking down from the sky with a smile

To all my mamas in the hood, what's good
you got a smile, and say a prayer to the sky
and hold your head high, and baby you got a smile
smile, I said baby you gotta smile
sweat heart you gotta smile
yeah without you girl
shit don't stop, my nigga you gotta smile
hey big homie you gotta smile,
love man you gotta smile, yeah

We all the..the storms that cause damage
but we gotta remain grateful for all we take for granted
before we ask for anything we gotta tell to Lord thanks
'cause we alive man a lot of folks man
but we complain about shit like it's owe to us
getting greedy and all them blessings to get all to us
could you imagine waking up when I want your five senses
..listen to your favorite rapper spitting
and I hear it about a good movie that you cant' even vision
couldn't smell mama fried chicken
I've been able to taste it,
that would be hard as people who can't walking
we're complaining bout cause ain't a benz but shit
please that's a rollerstar and get you from your house to your job
real talk, lessons learned though the ups and downs
it could be worse so throw it all

We gotta smile to all the boys and the girls all around the world
hey you gotta smile, I know times get hard, keep faith from God
and no matter what smile, I say no matter what smile
don't let nothing bring you down yeah yeah
everybody we gotta smile
I know it's esy to say and done
but every day we gottta try
a lot of times we get so caught up of what we don't have
and don't appreciate the thing we do
you gotta smile
