[Intro: Shock G & Krs-One]
Yeah, ayo Kris, tell em what's up, though
Yo.. yo, yo! One two!
Coming atcha live and direct! (That's right)
Digital Underground kid, you know what's up, hah!

[Verse 1: Shock G]
Ayo, Kris is chillin, Shock G's chillin
What more can we say about the villains?
The real killers chillin in the White, I mean the
Not Right House, want me to be they lab white mouse
The smile of seedy greedies, deprivin the needy, breakin treaties
Overseas, whylin while they profilin on the TV's
Some of 'em cool though, see I like that n***a Bill
Hittin everything in town, and he got that smile down
Now, let's break down the meaning of a smile
Is it happiness and blissfulness? Well, let's go down the list
You got the "Real Deal For Real Real" smile
You got the "Phony, They Don't Know Me, Let Me Hide My Feels" smile
The "Dumb Embarrased" smile
The "Ooh, She Look Delicious, Sure That Girl Is Lavish" smile
Then you got the "Shake Your Head, Nah, Black
That Shit Was Wack" smile
The "Across The Bar, Yeah, It's Cool
We Can Hit The Sack" smile
The "Crack" smile, the "Caught In The Act" smile
The "Over My Shoulder, Caught You Schemin' On Me
Delayed React" smile
The smile you're really glad to see, when it comes round
The spot's hot, they got you boxed in, it's bout to go down
You glance back, your man who packs that, once in a while
Gives you the "Oh, I'm Strapped, Do Your Thing, Baby, I Got Your Back" smile
[Chorus: KRS-One]
Smi-ling fa-ces, some-times (Come on)
Pre-tend, to be your friend (Yeah, uh)
Smi-ling fa-ces, show no tra-ces (Smiling faces, yeah)
Of the evil, that lurks within, hah!

[Verse 2: KRS-One]
What do you think I joke? (Nope)
What do you think I sniff coke? (Dope)
Me a Wild T'ing, like Tone Loc, you'd better be go
When the sound clash erupt, rev up
Step up to the cut, "Wassup?"
I show up to blow up and leave the spot towed up
You know what? I'ma go nut
And you know what? Yeah, so what?
It's the regular, when you check for the
One that perfected the
Smiling face people posing as your equal
Knowin' they wanna beat you, defeat you and eat you
But they greet you with peace and love
Not with the beast, but the dove
Not beneath, but above
Now, the cheek, give a hug, snug
No grudge, 'til you turn your back and learn the facts
It's called learn the truth
The tree is only known by its fruits
These smiling faces, in many places, sometimes they racist
Sometimes they sexist, sometimes they want your Lexus
Sometimes, they be your family members remember:
"Oh no, not my lady, oh no, not my fellow"
With them, you thought you'd never ever sever
But they was two-faced and headless
With a whole 'nother agenda but clever to say: "Whatever"
Forever, let me make this relationship better
If you're real, stay real, be real
The truth, we got to treasure, not these
[Chorus: KRS-One]
Smi-ling fa-ces, some-times (Smiling faces, yeah, yeah)
Pre-tend, to be your friend (They know they're phony)
Smi-ling fa-ces, show no tra-ces (Smiling faces)
Of the evil, that lurks within, hah! (They may be lurkin)

[Outro: KRS-One & Shock G]
You know whassup, hah!
KRS-One, Shock Jigga (That's me, baby)
Ha ha, word
(Yo, just let the beat breeze, uhh)
C'mon
Uhh, uhh, woooh!
C'mon
(Yeah, 'cuz they be lurkin
Never trust a big butt and a smile, baby, uhh
Yo, Kris, that's peace, baby)
Uh-huh
(They know the deal
A smile ain't nothin but an upside down frown)
Word
(Never trust a big butt and a smile)
Uh-huh
