I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling
By smiling
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
Gotta keep moving the weight
Winter, summer, spring to the fall
Gotta keep food on my plate
Gotta keep plaques on the wall
Gotta keep proving I'm great
I'm so sick of it all
Gotta keep smile on my face
Even if I slip and I fall
Gotta have mask for the pain
If you want to master the game
I was only after the props
Really I was never after the fame
I was never after the Range
Now I'm like a rat in a race
Always tryna catch up the chase
Feeling like I'm trapped in the maze
Never let 'em see me when I'm down
Never let 'em see me with a frown
Even when the game beat me to the ground
I get up and go another round
Lock it up and show another town
Break it up and roll another pound
Change it up and go another route
Flip and make a whole another sound
Like the way I did on hold it down
Yeah, you know the kid'll hold it down
Never knew the name, you know it now
Never knew the face, you know it now
Look at all this cake I'm holding now
Thinking of a way to throw it now
Fuck it, everyday I blow it now
Gotta get it where I know it now
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
Gotta get it how you gotta get it
That's what's up to family, I'm that committed
The only way that we can all get the cake
Is if we get up, how we got to split it
If you got a verse, you better spit it
If you see a job, you better get it
And if you can hoop, stay on yo' pivot
'Cause the truth is this is life you gotta live it
Try not to travel down the wrong road
So that when your legacy is told
You was known to be a hustler who provided
For his family and did it cold
Conquer obstacles and challenges
Make your competition bow to this
Spit it for my homey Alchemist
Hold up, let me find another style for this
Come with the energy, making me wanna erupt
Sipping a little of Remy up out of my cup
Come with the lyrical, kush I'm taking a puff
Alchemist, come with the rhythm and I'm a be fucking it up
Rap ain't another comparable, gonna be doing
The shit I be doing, I'm killing 'em, breaking 'em off of the gwap
I got the remedy that'll be filling my pocket with papers
And I'm a be telling the haters I don't stop
Until I'm on top of the world, I stay focused
Until I'm gone, no one be ferocious
Make your body move like law
Make the cane move like Moses
Make the waters move like a shark
Trees move like a summer breeze
Smile in your face tell you to grind hard
'Til you get you one of these
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
I'm even smiling for me
Smiling so you know why you can't hurt me
Smiling for something, not hiding from falling
Now what you know about what smiles are all about
I hide my tears from the crowd by smiling
I go out and spend my money
So they can see smiling
