SMILE Video (MV)

Aye they say I only rap about the hood but that's, what I know
I done been around the globe and yes, I fasho
Been a witness to the killings and all, of the drama
Tryna keep a roof up over my dome, all the trauma
People get to tuggin all on my coat, wanting favors
Then expect me to do all of the work, see ya later
I can't get ahead by breakin my back, so I'm plottin'
If I'm breathing trust I'm doubling back, how I'm rocking
Shakashuuu to all my homeys abroad, f*ck the devils
We can all address each other as gods, but it's levels
Lemme put y'all on prepare you with game, call it knowledge
On the block I got a doctorate mayn, not no college
Don't imply that I am not who I say, it's The Uce
I can tell that y'all are not what you claim, get the proof
Had to grow up like a savage and bang, on my momma
Everyday I had to navigate pain, know that I got to
I got to laugh to keep from crying
I got to smile to hide the pain
I got to live to keep from dying
I know that y'all gone do the same
I got to laugh to keep from crying
I got to smile to hide the pain
I got to live to keep from dying
I know that y'all gone do the same
I come from where the fiends get to mingling, dope be spine tingling
Crystal meth sound like glass in a bag jingling
The sad thing is ya moms and dads bring it in
Skip mad dinners to smoke it's sad isn't it
Yo, don't blame the participant of a game
That existed before the participant came
Just acknowledge the condition is traditional pain
From generational, man y'all don't know what I'm sayin
I break it down simple and plain so y'all comprehend
If your job dead-end, homie your god gotta bend
It's hard on the path of the straight and the narrow
When the math of that path don't equate to dinero
He spittin nothing but fax machine bruh
Let the haoles know they ain't gone be vaxxin me cuh
Peniamina the rebel energy of a ape
King of the South Pacific, enemy of the state
I got to laugh to keep from crying
I got to smile to hide the pain
I got to live to keep from dying
I know that y'all gone do the same
I got to laugh to keep from crying
I got to smile to hide the pain
I got to live to keep from dying
I know that y'all gone do the same
