Smile
By Scarface featuring 2pac and Johnny P
Intro (2pac)

Theres gonna be some stuff you gonna see
thats gonna make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor .
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that.
Mmm, yeah.
Keep ya Head up. Yeah

(2pac)

Our lifestyles be closed captioned 
addicted to fatal attractions
Pictures of actions be played back
in the midst of mashin'
No fairy tales for this young black male
Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales
Hustlin' and heart be a nigga's culture,
or the repercutions 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 were sppent buryin my peers in the cementry
Here's a message to the new borns waiten to breath
If you believe then you can achieve,
Just look at me
Against all odds, though life is hard we carry on
Livin' in project broke with no lights on
To all MC's that follow me, protect your essence
Born with les but you still precious 
Just smile for me now !

(Chorus) 
(Johnny P, 2pac)

Smiiiiiiiile for me, won't you smile (smile for me now)
Just smiiiile (smile) smile for me now
(Whatcha lookin all sad for? nigga you black, smile for me now)
Smiiiiiile for me (nigga you ain't got nothing to be worried about)
Won't you smile (no doubt smile for me now) just smiiile
And the next Generation

(Scarface)

Now as I open up my story 
with the blaze and your blunts
And you can picture thoughts slowly
up on phrases I wrote
And I can walk you through the days that I done
I often wish that I could save everyone
but I'm a dreamer
Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game
overlookin his tomorrows and they finally came
lookin back on my childhood memories and I'm still feelin the pain
Turnin circles in my 9th grade, to dealin cocaine
To many hassles in my local life, sorvivin the strain
And a man without focus, life could drive him insane
Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hoppin it change
But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains
Had a dream of livin wealthy and makin it big
over football, told the ???? take he did
And after all my momma's thankin G-d for blessin her child
All my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile
Smile

(Chorus)


(2pac)

Fuck the world as we unload, and witness furious speeds
of unanswered questions keep us all stressin, curious G's
Backstabbed and bleedin' crooked thoughts laced wit weed
Learnin', duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'
Inhalin , sherm smoke, visualized the flames
Will I be smothered by my own pain?
Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us
Takin' pictures for the feds, and desperate hopes they get us
Hit us off , give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins
Since I entered many penitenturies the best revenge is fuck friends
We military mined soliders, bustin shots blindly
Tryin to find Jehovah to help me
Somebody save me
Lost and crazy, scared to drop a seed hopin' I ain't cursed my babies
Maybe now niggas feel me now
Picture my pain
embrace my words make the words change
And still I smile nigga

(Scarface)

And now a moment of silence, let us pray
And as you journey into outerspace 
may the angels help to lead the way
Shine upon your soul to keep you safe
And all the homies that done passed away
They there to greet you as you pass the gates
And as you head into the tunnel's light
I hope it leads to eternal life
We say a prayer for the homie 'Pac
Smile
