Wale - Smile lyrics

[Hook: Wale] I got my family And I got my squad And as long as they got me Then I'll be just fine So I give God the glory Cause I have my child And America don't want me That's when I realized That we all need, yeah A reason to smile I said we all need, yeah A reason to smile Said about to be O.D.'d, yeah But we gon' survive That's why we all need A reason to smile [Verse 1: Wale] And a possible bigot slash misogynist is 'bout to run the whole damn thing (Bout to run the whole damn thing) And the ballot my sister filled in In another city didn't do a god-damn thing [Bridge: Wale] sh** I'mma go crazy yeah I'mma go crazy yeah I'mma go crazy yeah But I gotta do my god-damn thing [Verse 2: Wale] The Alt Rights hate us Some black baby mommas hate us We only learn half of the drama, other side crazy On behalf of Charlamagne I'm sure he ain't trading sides Maybe I should meet Tomi Lahren, I'll Lauryn Hill her Train her; she miseducated anyway Prolly hate the color of my face I'm just a young black rapping a** African Ain't never wanted to have it and now he has it his own way I'm smoking purple, the law enforcement be murking brothers The moon lit and I'm Cottonmouth like Mahershala Its like you got a curse if your currency low The world is a dirty f**ing experiment They don't care if its hurting us Black lives matter, 'cause black lives target practice Can't even imagine what would happen with no phone cameras Black lives matter, black love the dopest ever Just wanna remind you, I think it's time that we show it better [Hook] I got my family And I got my squad And as long as they got me Then I'll be just fine So I give God the glory Cause I have my child And America don't want me That's what I realized That we all need, yeah A reason to smile I said we all need, yeah A reason to smile Said about to be O.D.'d, yeah But we gon' survive That's why we all need A reason to smile Giving knowledge and uplifting our brothers and daughters Is how this whole thing change (Is how this whole thing change) But the power that's in the p**y or the dollar Is enough to make us all insane [Bridge] sh** I'mma go crazy yeah I'mma go crazy yeah I'mma go crazy yeah But I gotta do my god-damn thing [Verse 3: Phil Ade] And I've been living like I got one A couple hundred on me, still in the gold shotgun You do the most, stop son Our people not exempt They in the land of the free You in the land of free to an extent f** that, I'mma ruffle some feathers Mess with the temperature, shuffle the weather f** whoever (?) Beef is whatever k** me, you die and I live forever When you live without fear It don't get much better Naw, hmm Look at how far that we've come Look at the world we inspired And look at the stars that we brung They think that when that literal big wig starts that we done They think because Hillary lost the cards will be Trumped You out you mind n***a [Hook: Wale] I got my family And I got my squad And as long as they got me Then I'll be just fine So I give God the glory Cause I have my child And America don't want me That's what I realized That we all need, yeah A reason to smile I said we all need, yeah A reason to smile Said about to be O.D.'d, yeah But we gon' survive That's why we all need A reason to smile
