[phantom]
Big as bullets and little as litter on the block
Liquor spilled for family members that’s taken shots
Try to drown it down
Try to smoke it out
I can tell u now that doesnt make it stop
What the
Am i supposed to do
I found a couple things
Since i got close to you
Tru, but the struggle ain’t never lessen
Love is the puzzle you the brought that taught lessons
Grace like debra messing
Sacrifice like jesus
And any change i wanna make'll take effort
When i look the enemy in the face what’s the weapon
Either M16 or 1,2 mic check it
I don’t wanna make a war
Man i'd rather make a record
Am i gonna know or am i gonna guess it

[Chorus]
Smile
Don’t you let them see you look down
Grills in, grit your teeth still shining
Goes for miles when you get with it
Baby i got one for free when you’re down
Just smile
[the prof.]
Crack a quip take a poke
Way back was the butt of a joke
On the bus where I'd hope bullies wouldn't see my coat
With the hole that was old
I give thanks to the those
All that they showed
Every back wears a bullseye stained from the woes
Drown in the rain or bounce back on the pain
With the posture of a flag pole (whoa)
Kill with the kindness
Laughter a shield for the nightmares
See my teeth in the dark
Medicine for the malevolent
And I am sharing it
Jack-o-lantern with heart
Comedy's tragedy
Hecklers haggling twirling the stash
Flex with the flattery I'm in my bag
That's not my face it's my mask

[Chorus]
[bridge]
Time’s just a wasting
Painting, creating
Sunrays through clouds
You’ll see vividly when you smile
[Chorus]
