"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" Our lifestyles be close 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 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 cemetery 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 Smile for me, won't you smile (smile for me now) Just smile (smile), smile for me (What ya looking all sad for, nigga you black, smile for me now) Smile for me (nigga you ain't got nothin' to be worried about) Won't you smile (no doubt, smile for me now) just smile (And the next generation) Now as I open up my story With the blaze a 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 life came to dealin' cocaine To 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'd change But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big Over a foot-large, undercooked, raw, taking a dick 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 (smile for me now) Just smile for me F*ck the world as we elope And witness furious speeds Of nasty questions keep us all stressin', curious G's Backstabbed and bleedin', fuckin' thoughts laced with 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'd get us Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins Since I ain't in many penitentiaries the best revenge is f*ck 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 "And now a moment of silence, let us pray" "And as you journey into outer space May the angels help to lead the way 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" Smile Smile for me
