[Intro: C-Mob]
There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see. It's gonna make it hard to smile

[Verse 1: KXNG Crooked]
If I'm mean-mugging please pardon me
N***as wanna Martin me on the balcony
N***as wanna Malcolm me
So how can we settle all our differences without the beef
I made gold from nothing like it was Alchemy
Now they wanna take my smile from me
I'm proud to be a leader my people depend on
If I ain't keep it a hun'ed like spending a Franklin they woulda been gone
I'm married to the game I'm out of thе friend-zone
I'm taking my team into thе end zone, [the cob?] lives on
I couldn't imagine stretching my arms and being a inch away
Now all of my goals are out of my reach I pick up the scripture, aye
Commence to pray when inspiration is rinsed away
Cause as a child I never smiled even on picture day
I changed my frequency I'm vibrating at a high rate and you could did waiting for something good to happen
This is the secrecy, law of attraction
I say good things even when I speak to me
You're feeling down I got a hook that you could sing with me

[Chorus: Genevieve]
Nobody ever said life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free (In this world for free)
And even though we all go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game (In the game)
Nobody ever said life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free (In this world for free)
And even though we all go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game (In the game)
[Verse 2: C-Mob]
If you've been done wrong by your next of kin or by your best of friends
Never forget that a smile is the best revenge
No matter the mess I'm in, flex and grin, lets begin
When I rank your loyalty I won't settle for less than ten
I'm stressed again cause I let myself stretch too thin
But I got the work ethic and I got the finesse to win
Invested in myself and I can rest up when
My quest for zen is met within with time left to spend
A specimen overcoming shit that's quite vexing
All the nights stressing until I look for the life lessons
I'm dissecting emotions asking the right questions
To better myself and head in a better direction
I'm mic recking, my flight's checked in like Delta Air
Continue building yourself, knowledge, be self aware
It felt unfair, no wealth was there and help was rare
It's Hell to bear when you're feeling your mental health impaired
I knelt in prayer, ill and insane, stress it was killing my brain
Shifting it into a villainous frame, felt like my will had been drained
So sick of feeling the pain, things that got me dealing with shame
Then I remember I'm real and untamed and thankful to be still in the game
Gratefully, I've been through a lot but it only strengthened me, making me headstrong
Got my bread long like a bakery
Pray for me
Some people are wicked and that's how they can be
Even if they got hate for me my smile they'll never take from me
[Chorus: Genevieve]
Nobody ever said life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free (In this world for free)
And even though we all go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game (In the game)
Nobody ever said life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free (In this world for free)
And even though we all go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game (In the game)
