[Hook: Ken Oak] Smile, smile for me Why don't you smile, you can be free In a little while, your heart will see Just like a child, smile for me [Verse 1: Prohgress] Yo, stress is eatin' me alive Can't enjoy a moment, even worry on the rise 9 times out of 10, when you stop to smell the roses Is when the opposition sneaks right under your noses I keep my eyes open, for enemies and fakes My body's getting tired, how long can they wait? What's it gonna take, one mistake and they nail ya Mama can't wait 'til she can label me a failure 50 in the hole and it's blurring out my vision Sometimes I wonder if I really made the right decision The future of my seed in the hands of my homies One's in and out, the other's ducking for the police I reciprocate, work my fingers to the bone 7 days a week in this sh**ty studio I got one hope, if it's gone then it's all bad But Catch never sleep, what if he dies in a car crash? [Hook: Ken Oak] Smile, smile for me Why don't you smile, you can be free In a little while, your heart will see Just like a child, smile for me [Verse 2: J-Splif] Yo, I'm in a choke hold, it's gettin harder to breath Havin terrifying dreams in my sleep, sh** is deep I try to fly away, but someone's tugging at my feet Feeling out of reach with myself in time of need Out of my zone, fully losing control And no amount of dope can make my problems just go I'm losing my sanity, so I take a few hits Escape from reality cause the truth makes me sick Another gloomy day, the sun's been out of touch Locked in my room all alone, feeling stuck The pressure's kicking in, and this Prozac ain't enough And I know in the future I'ma lose the ones I love It scares me to d**h, but the clock won't stop ticking So I keep living with my hopes and ambitions Enjoy my stay on Earth, flash my pearly whites 'Cause when it hit your turn, you gon' take an early flight [Hook] In a little while, your heart will see Just like a child, smile for me [Verse 3: KevNish] Chilling in the Village feeling right In the morning yawning 'cause the doja got me high My scrambled Cinemax and HBO is out of sight I'm infomercial zoning, do I flip or do I buy? I'm messing with this chick, caught on my dick Thinking how she fell in love With a pimp, wanting a hit, wanting none of the above Now some kid's up in the mix, playas never use a glove My sidekick's out of service 'cause my anytime is up Eyes is closed, 'cause I'm hopin' when I open 'em Time won't go back to 1999 when my mind was grown Educated with the answer to th open doors Hold the phone, pause You's a fool, wanna make it in the swimmin pool Blew his cool My reflections need a miracle Life is full of everything I never wanted Dive in, thank the Lord I can't swim [Hook: Ken Oak] Smile, smile for me Why don't you smile, you can be free In a little while, your heart will see Just like a child, smile for me
