featuring Scarface. 2Pac:. There's gonna' be some stuff that your gonna' see. That's gonna' make it hard to smile in the future. (No Doubt). But whatever you see through all the rain and pain. You gotta keep a sense of humor. Gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that. Just keep ya head up. Our lifesytles be close caption. Addicted to fatal attraction. Pictures and actions be played back. In the mist of mashin'. No fairytales for this young black male. Some see me stranded in this land of Hell. Jail and crack cells. ???? culture. Or the repercussion. While bustin' on back-stabbing 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. Was spend burying my peers in the cemetary. Here's a message to the newborns. Waiting to breath:. "If you believe. you can achieve just look at me". Against all odds. Though life is hard we carry on. Living in the projects. Broke with no lights on. To all the G's that follow me. Protect your essence. Born with less but your still precious. Just smile for me now. Chours:. Ohhh Won't you smile for me. (2Pac: Just smile for me now). Ohhh Won't you smile for me. (Nigga you black smile for me now). Ohhh Won't you smile for me. (You ain't got nothin' to worry about). (Smile for me now). Ohhh Won't you smile for me. (and the next generation). Scarface:. Now as I open up my story. With the blaze of your blunt. So you can picture thoughts slowly. Upon phrases I run. And I can walk you thru the dayz that it done. I often wish that I can save everyone. But I'm a dreamer. Have you ever seen a nigga. Who was strong in the game?. Over-looking his tomorrows. and they finally came. Look back on childhood memories. And I'm still feelin' the pain. Turnin' circles in my 9th grade. Dealin' Cocaine. To many hassels in my local lights. Survivin' the strain. And a man without a focused life. could drive him insane. Stuck inside a getto fantasy. Hopin' it'd change. But we're not focused on reality. We broken in Jane. Had a dream of livin' wealthy. Makin' it big. Over football. ????. What take it. He did. And after all my mama's thankin' god. For blessing her child. All my mama gotz to do now is collect. And then smile. (2Pac: Smile). Chours:. Ohhh Won't you smile for me. (Smile for me now). 2Pac:. Fuck tha world. As we unload we witness furious speeds. Un-answered questions keep us all stressin'. Curious G's. Back stabed and bleeding. Crooked thoughs. Laced with weed. Learnin' duckin' stray shots. Bullets be hot. They burnin'. Inhale the shurm smoke. Visualize the flames. Will I be smothered by my own pain?. Strange wisdoms. Cowards conversate'. So quick to dis' us. Takin' pictures for the Feds. In desperate hopes they get us. Hit us all give us plenty centuries. Forgive my stance. Sense I entered many penitentiaries. The best revenge. Is fuck friends. We milatary minded soljahs. Bustin' shots blindly. Trying to find Jahova. To help me. Somebody save me. Lost and crazy. Scared to drop a seed. Hopin' I ain't cursed babies. Maybe now. Niggaz feel me now. Picture my pain. Embrace my words. Make the world change. And still I smile nigga. Chrous till fade..... (Background singer till fade)
