Preachas In The Hood - Smile Now, Cry Later lyrics

[Flow] I'm just a young vato growin up in the hood Followin my older brothers footsteps and it's all good Everything is fine and I wanna be like to throw down all the time Gotta be a baller to survive Never knew what it's was like to have a new bike at 8 years Wit my friends around my mom would shed some many tears She wanted me to have everything in life So at the age of 13 I started sellin dope under the street lights Oh what a life most people don't even know What me and my whole family went through really though The world makes every thing looks so fun Got kids packin guns and puttin people on the run I'll drink a few beers and get drunk while I smoke skunk Pop in that cd, I got bumps in my trunk I'm rollin down the street and every thing is lookin so sweet Not knowin where I'm gonna spend eternity The Pastor told me, I better give my life right over to savior So I don't have to spend eternity in hell and cry later It could of been me as the shots rang in my neighborhood Another victim understood [Chorus] Smile now, cry later You better give your life over to the savoir Hear me now If you don't give it over to the savoir Then you can smile now, cry later [2x] [Flow] Me and Age, just kickin back reminisin about the days Up in the past, when we used to bang We'd roll through the hood, go to S M L K Y go to get a tatto of my older brother A G E The next thing you know we're rollin down the boulavard Pulled up to the light bumpin music in our cars There's a narc, the hudas and they heard us roar So they got behind us and hit us wit the lights so The next thing you know were face down on the floor Wit a ton of po-pos round the 64 Searchin for rocks and Glocks cause they said they heard shots Around the blocks, those crazy cops Then they picked us up and threw us in the car Took us to the city jail, now we're behind bars Then I heard a deep voice say [Voice] Come this way, for today is the day [Chorus] [Age] Im wakin up and its a good Friday afternoon Goin to get the ballers to go roll the boulavard And sweat some fools, yeah me and the crew To go buy some brew, and ask every baller to come too Yeah, we stayin out late and partyin all night Throwin up gang signs and gettin in gang fights, that right Im packin my cuete and packin up David Cause some fools rolled up actin real crazy Blastin at me in my red SR GT They followed me and try to leave me in pool of b l double o d I didn't have the Lord in my life see What thugs prayin for me to be set free My grandma really cared for me, she really cared for me She didn't wanna see me dead and six feet deep Especially when I rolled that truck goin down the high way Rolled it three time, flew out the window landin sideways God really wanted me to wake up To stop sellin guns and k** my flesh for His Son It really took alot for me to see that is all bout the G O D And to walk in the Spirit wit that homie [Flow] Just think I was thirteen when I started this rap thing Thats also known as minisrty But at the age of eleven though I had the same problems Bangin wit the vato locos in Dever Colorado Wit so much pain in my corazon Cause an O.G. vato pulled the trigger on his chrome He put a few caps in my homeboy's dome And now he's dead, and now he's goin home 6 feet deep, under ground Thats what bangin is all about Cause we'll never quit out click we'll die for it Get him back, and put a slug in their click Round and round we go Bustin caps, upside each others domes It goes back and forth I don't know what to do anymore My older brother Age is locked up facin forty years In the penetentray, dear God help me Search for a way so I can get my life straight I want to bang for the Lord, thats the right way But any way, today is the best day (Why bro) [Flow] Cause today I got saved And my future holds alot for me In the rap ministry Even though people come against me [Chorus]
