Smile

My tragedy's different, my life's deep listen,

Gotta bail, I'm limpin, walked outta hell's kitchen.

Why bother cherishin', my past is everything wrong and my arrogance,

Walk down the stairs pissin', cop us 'cause they're bitchin'.

Life isn't fair singin', blues in my rap drippin',

Ooze out the blood sinkin', deep down to earth thinking.

Leave out a merc chicken,

I should run forfeit, and everything I know LISTEN.

I was: The misdirected.

I was: The least expected.

Hop on, and get rejected.

Walk on, and feel neglected.

I feel, like I'm the message,

Unheard, but I'm the message.

I'm the last prolific remaining author from the gutter

Shot, was my girlfriend

When?

We was younger.

Her,

I was scarred yo.

Bullets,

I survived though.

Death,

It's came easy.

Truth,

The games needs me,

Never let them see me down, smile while I'm bleeding.

Smile, when your strugglin'.

Smile, when your in jail.

Smile, when your dead broke.

Smile, and the rents due.

Smile, you ain't got friends now.

Smile, and no one knows you.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

Smile, when he leaves you.

Smile, 'cause girl he needs you.

Smile, plenty single mothers cry the tears you do.

Smile, despite the war.

Smile, despite the pain yo.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

To my man currently in prison,

I can't speak your name.

It hurt me that you never listened,

It cant be the same.

I had to grow, my intuition had me deep in pain,

'Cause i knew my options were either broke or the prison chains.

I can't do it, I can't see it, look

Dammit, I can't blow it

I got a judges tellin' me my life's key,

They will throw it.

Nuh-uh, no sir,

I plan to have a chauffeur.

It seems to me this chopping crack is really going no where.

Therefore, I'm resurrected.

They call me, the raw injection,

I infect you with the real,

The Dustyfeetphilosahectagos.

I spit, so sick, I skid out, I'm fallin',

I'm shit outta luck and I'm trapped but I'll get out.

Can you help me, I'm goin' crazy.

My mind plays tricks and I beat on floors like Bushwick.

My fists bloody and blistered,

a pair like I'm ballistic.

I just stare at the red and smile while I'm bleedin'.

Smile, when your strugglin'.

Smile, when your in jail.

Smile, when your dead broke.

Smile, and the rents due.

Smile, you ain't got friends now.

Smile, and no one knows you.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

Smile, when he leaves you.

Smile, 'cause girl he needs you.

Smile, plenty single mothers cry the tears you do.

Smile, despite the war.

Smile, despite the pain yo.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

There are a few things you gotta take into account,

I'm not an entertainer I've never been a clown,

I was born where the mothers give birth while they frown,

I would walk with the kids that would bbbrrraaaa a sound.

I never really thought I'd make it to fourteen,

And anybody wanted to fight I was most keen.

plus i had a little temper it was often foreseen yo,

Say somethin' 'bout my momma I'd shoot ya gut out clean.

But ya gotta keep in mind that I grew up Mogadishu,

The only law was gun law,

And we don't walk with a pistol.

You get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment,

'Cause how will you be heard when those big boys are firin'.

War is no place for a child,

Especially if he's rollin' with an AK and a smile,

He had witnesses on mother bloody in a towel.

But please, please, please, please,

but never let em see you down smile while you bleedin'.

Smile, when your strugglin'.

Smile, when your in jail.

Smile, when your dead broke.

Smile, and the rents due.

Smile, you ain't got friends now.

Smile, and no one knows you.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

Smile, when he leaves you.

Smile, 'cause girl he needs you.

Smile, plenty single mothers cry the tears you do.

Smile, despite the war.

Smile, despite the pain yo.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

Smile, when your strugglin'.

Smile, when your in jail.

Smile, when your dead broke.

Smile, and the rents due.

Smile, you ain't got friends now.

Smile, and no one knows you.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.

Smile, when he leaves you.

Smile, 'cause girl he needs you.

Smile, plenty single mothers cry the tears you do.

Smile, despite the war.

Smile, despite the pain yo.

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding.
