our lifestyles be closecaptioned 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
hustlers hardly think of culture
or the repercussions while bustin’ on backstabbin’ 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 spent buryin’ my peers in the cemetary
here’s a message to the newborns waitin’ to breathe
if you believe then you can achieve just look at me
against all odds though life is hard we carry on
livin’ in the projects broke with no lights on
to all the seeds that follow me protect your essence
born with less but you still precious just smile for me now

nigga you ain’t got nothin’ to be worried about

just smile and the next generation

now as i open up my story with the blaze of 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
look back on childhood memories and i’m still feelin’ the pain
turnin’ circles in my 9th grade dealin’ cocaine
too many hassles in my local life survivin’ the strain
and a man without a focus life could drive him insane
stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin’ 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 chose to cook raw wouldn’t take but i did
and after all my momma’s thankin’ god for blessin’ the child
all my momma gots to do now is collect it and smile smile

smile for me won’t you smile

won’t you smile just smile

fuck the world as we unloading witness furious speeds
unanswered questions keep us all stressin’ curious g’s
backstabbed and bleedin’
crooked thoughts laced with weed learnin’
duckin’ stray shots bullets be hot they burnin’
inhale the sherm smoke visualize the flames
will i be smothered by my own pain
strange whispers cowards conversate so quick to diss us
takin’ pictures for the feds in desperate hopes they’d get us
hit us all give us plenty centuries
forgive my sins since i entered many penitentiaries
the best revenge is fuck friends we military minded soldiers
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 world 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
may the prayers that our families made
shine up on 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 headed to the tunnel’s light
i hope it leads to eternal life
we say the prayers for our homie ‘pac
hook johnny p
smile smile for me
