Smile

Jm: Everything is awesome, I smile so often

Get all fired up just seeing a fire truck,

Just skipping to the music backyard playing ball

All the live long day cause its all great

Sleep: I couldn’t wait to start my day off lace my

Stadia's up

Hopped over the fence to my neighbors spot

Wake up wake up knock knock invade the layer

With talks about playing mortal combat all day on sega

Jm: All my buddies we be down like rail spikes

T-p your house, put potatoes in tailpipes

Pulling pranks outasite sneaking out at night

Being out all night for me it just feels right

Sleep: Man I hope I’m not last

To get picked for kick ball

Cuz if I do I’m going back to the crib for pit fall

And I’m not coming out till that glorious sound

Of the snow-cone lady coming around!

If you smile, it'll last a while

It'll get you there, when it gets wild

If you smile for me, when I look at you

So that I'll know, I'm not alone

Jm: Back in the days when I was a teenager...

Lsd dealer puttin numbers in my pager

Starter caps raiders jacket at the mall

Racking gear buying beer yelling yes yes yall

Sleep: I used to riggity rock pokadots and criggity

Cross colors

Break out into a dance routinefter I dropped a hot

Verse

(No lie)and I laugh about it now

(I was so high) don’t ever think I came back down

Jm: I was learning bout loyalty chilling with my crew

We be drinking by the traintracks, talking about who

You'd do

Jennifer or jessica or hillary or emily

If you anyone took my girl, 'they were the enemy'

Sleep

But these are the days were making memories

You can't take em away...

Rolling a bucket while we pass the j, it goes fast

Away,

And laughs get cast away if you forget to smile.

If you smile, it'll last a while

It'll get you there, when it gets wild...

If you smile for me, when I look at you

So that I'll know, I'm not alone

Verse 3 - all growed up

Jm: I be getting buzzed, rubbed every which way

And every single day of the year in the mirror

I get weirder and weirder looking /aging crooked ways/

Smile/ look at those dog gone grays

Sleep: Fell fast hit the ground twice

Found out that I didn’t know much about life

The sparkle in my eye reduced to a mood-light

And friendships turned into sellouts in the moonlight

Jm: And it makes you scared of me...

You always got somewhere to be

Your supposed to smile

When it don't seem fair to me

Sleep: Its hard to make sense of this madness

Recreation turns habit

Reconciliation needs to happen

So I can get some peace for now...and keep reachin out

Sometimes you gotta re-teach yourself how to smile...

Smile. Better last a while,

Gotta be prepared when it gets wild,

If you smile for me, I'll sing a song for you...

So that you'll know...your not alone.
