I promise it's no love lost What that half acre house in the slums cost? If I gave it my all, probably fall short Tryna charge to the game? It's a blood sport Mic check Least that's what it feel like "Slow down, sit tight", what they tell me You should try walkin' light with two left feet Devil's dance, prayin' hands can't protect me On God But I know if I prayed more, I could probably save more Runnin' through these bank notes, stressin' as the waves roll by Keep my fade low, I can't let the grays grow Just another day closer to my demise Keep the gang 'round, least the ones that stayed down Love to see they face smile, love to see they heads held high Everybody gotta die, only question, is it Hell or in the sky, yeah Just don't forget to smile, don't forget to smile Know the world can weigh you down Not now, then when? Not this, then how? Don't forget to smile, don't forget to smile Don't you lose your inner child, not now I got a call the other day From my partner on the four yard in Pelican Bay Popped his pistol once and them people put him away Promised him he would never get to see the light of day Asked how I was, said he seen me on ABC Told him that I was good, wonder if he believed Couldn't tell him the truth, what kind of homie would I be? Knowin' these fifteen minutes the only time that he free See, it's hard to sleep when you the only one livin' the dream Hard to leave niggas hangin' when you the money tree Somethin' about the gutter that make us hate each other Had to bury my older brother, it humbled me Pullin' his plug like a trick from under my sleeve Just the luck of the draw, don't know who shuffle the cards Heard His name is God, just pick up when I call Right now, it's free of charge And don't forget to smile, don't forget to smile Know the world can weigh you down Not now, then when? Not this, then how? Don't forget to smile, don't forget to smile Don't you lose your inner child, not now
