K'naan - Smile

Album: The Dusty Foot Philosopher

Lyrics:

My tragedy's different

My life's deep, listen,

Gotta bail, I'm limpin

Walked outta hell's kitchen

Why bother cherishin'

My past is everything, wrong, and my arrogance

Walk down the stairs pissin'

Cop us cause they're bitchin'

Life isnt fair, singin'

Blues and my rap drippin'

Ooze out the blood Sinkin

Deep down to earth thinking

Leave out a nerp chicken

I should run, forfit, and everything I know LISTEN,

I was The misdirected

I was The least expected

Hop on And get rejected

Walk on And feel neglected

I feel Like I'm the message

Unheard But I'm the message

I'm the last prolific remaining offer from the gutter

SHOT was my girlfriend

When We was younger

Her I was scarred yo

Bullets I survived though

Death It's came easy

Truth the games needs me

Never let them see me down, smile while I'm bleeding

Smile When your struggilin

Smile when Your in jail

Smile When your dead broke

Smile And the rents due

Smile You ain't got friends now

Smile And no one knows you

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

Smile When he leaves you

Smile Cause girl he needs you

Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do

Smile Dispite the war

Smile despite the pain yo

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

To my man Kareem in prison

I can't speak your name

It hurt me that you never listened

It can't be the same

I had to grow my intutision

Had me deep in pain

Cause I knew my options were either broke or the prison chains

I can't do it

I can't see it, look

Damnit, I can't blow it

I got a judge tellin me my lifes key

They will throw it

Nuh-uh, no sir

I plan to have a chauffeur

It seems to me this chopping crack is really going no where

Therefore

I'm resurrected

They call me

The poor Injection

I infect you with the real

The Dustyfeetphilosahectagos

I spit, so sick

I skid out

I'm fallin'

I'm Shit outta luck and I'm trapped but I'll get out

Can You Help me

I'm goin crazy

My mom plays trix and I beat on the floor like bush wick

My fists bloody and blistered

A pair Like I'm balistic

I just stare at the red and smile while I'm bleedin

Smile When your struggilin

Smile When Your in jail

Smile When your dead broke

Smile And the rents due

Smile You ain't got friends now

Smile And no one knows you

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

Smile When he leaves you

Smile Cause girl he needs you

Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do

Smile Dispite the war

Smile despite the pain yo

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

There are a few things you gotta take into acount

I'm not an entertainer I've never been a clown

I was born where tha mothers give birth while they frown

I would walk with the kids that would bbbrrraaaa a sound ah

Never really thought I'd make it to fourteen

And anybody wanted to fight I was most keen

Plus I had a little temper it was often forseen

Yo say somethin bout my momma id shoot ya dead out clean

But ya gotta keep in mind that I grew up Mogadishu (tell em)

The only law was gun law

And we don't walk with a pistol

You get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment

Cause how will you be heard when those big boys are firin'

War is no place for a child

Especially if hes rollin' with an AK and a smile

He had witnesses on mother bloody in a towel

But please, please, please, please

But never let em see you down smile while you bleedin'

Smile When your struggilin

Smile When Your in jail

Smile When your dead broke

Smile And the rents due

Smile You ain't got friends now

Smile And no one knows you

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

Smile When he leaves you

Smile Cause girl he needs you

Smile Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do

Smile Dispite the war

Smile despite the pain yo

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

Smile When your struggilin

Smile When Your in jail

Smile When your dead broke

Smile And the rents due

Smile You ain't got friends now

Smile And no one knows you

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

Smile When he leaves you

Smile Cause girl he needs you

Smile plenty single mothers cry the tears you do

Smile Dispite the war

Smile despite the pain yo

Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding
