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....
