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....
