2pac - Smile lyrics

Intro: 2Pac

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see

that's gon' make it hard to smile in the 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.

Mmm, yeah.

Keep ya head up.Yeah.

Verse One: 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

Hustlin' and heart be a nigga culture

or the repercutions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures

Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches

Wishin' I live 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

To all the seeds that follow me

protect your essence

Born with less, but you still precious

Just smile for me now

Chours: Johnny P, 2Pac

Smiiiiiile for me , won't you smile (smile for me now)

Just smiiiile (smile), smile for me

(What cha lookin' all sad for, nigga you black, smile for me now)

Smiiiiiile for me (nigga you ain't got nothin' to be worried about)

Won't you smile (no doubt, smile for me now) just smiiiiile

(And the next generation)

Verse Two: Scarface

Now as I open up my story

with the blaze a your blunts

And you can picture thoughts slowly

up on phrases I wrote

And I can walk you through the days that I 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 life came to dealin' cocaine

To many hassles in my local life, survivin' the strain

And a man without a focus, life could drive him insane

Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin' it'd change

But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains

Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big

And after all my momma's thankin' God for blessin' the child

All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile

Smile

Chorus (without 2pac)

Verse Three: 2Pac

Fuck the world as we ???? and witness furious speeds

of nasty questions keep us all stressin', curious G's

Backstabbed and bleedin', fuckin' thoughts laced with weed

Learnin', duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'

Inhalin' sherm smoke, visualized the flames

Will I be smothered by my own pain?

Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us

Takin' pictures for the feds, and desperate hopes they'd get us

Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins

Since I ain't in many penitenturies 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 talking)

And now a moment of silence, let us pray

And as you journey into outerspace

may the angels help to lead the way

shine up on your soul to keep you safe

And all the homies that done passed away

They there to greet you as you pass the gates

And as you headed to the tunnel's light

I hope it leads to eternal life

We say the prayers for our homie 'Pac

Smile

(Smile for me)

(All ya need to do is smile)

(Woooo smile for me)

(Come on smile for me)
