歌詞

Smile...You recording? Slamming Bentley doors Like we invented doors Twenty years ago we drove Bentley Azures Was drinking Cristal then Kept the tre on me like Chris Paul then Drinking Ace of Spade like it's codeine now Trying to put a million on the whole team now Push through the pain so we could see new life So all the ladies having babies see your sacrifice Momma had four kids but she's a lesbian Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian Had to hide in the closet so she'd medicate Society's shame and the pain was too much to take Cried tears of joy when you fell in love Don't matter to me if it's a him or a her I just want to see you smile through all the hate Maria Antoinette baby let em eat cake Bad times turn to good memories Smile Even when I'm gone and you remember me Smile Good times never fade away Smile Even if I'm not with you here today Smile As far as draft picks my name did not get called Bet before I go I put a billion on the board Hall of fame Hov I did it all without a pen Y'all knew that was coming I had to remind y'all again Flying paper planes through the projects Now the whole projects on my jet Now you see the real in the front row On every one of y'all televised shows Super facts Niggas switch sides, trade they pride we don't do all that A loss ain't a loss it's a lesson Appreciate the pain it's a blessing Bad times turn to good memories Smile Even when I'm gone and you remember me Smile Good times never fade away Smile Even if I'm not with you here today Smile I mastered my ascetics I know you often heard me wax poetic about being back in the Lexus But trust me that was nothing A nigga up in the hundreds of millions I have no ceilings aww this that feeling I'm that boy Anita Baker's You Bring Me Joy slapping out of the toy The separation is clear In my rear view mirror objects is further than they appear Oh yeah I was born with a pair Playing for high stakes Norman's Cay kilos dumping out of the lear Aww nigga can't relate Fuck a slice of the apple pie want my own cake In charge of my own fate Respect Jimmy lovine But he gotta respect the Elohim it's a whole new regime And niggas playing for power Til our music is ours, niggas own they own houses Ours was fuck you pay me Now it's fuck paying me I pay you put the rest away for Blue That blood money I giggle at it Can't even support my Mrs's habit Jewelry shopping in Par.... all y'all jewelers should be embarrassed Blood diamonds dripping with guilt I still ain't tripping That's life winners and losers Drug dealers and abusers America like me ruthless My therapist said I relapsed I said prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips God sent me to break the chain I'm the true and living god in the flesh the rest of the niggas is vein A stain on a white suit inferior IQ Niggas'll rip your shit off Tidal just to spite you Awww what did I do, except try to free you Niggas will love you but hate you cause they can't be you Dump em all in the bayou Everybody wave bye to the guy you thought you could lie to This was meant to be a haiku But my story's too wide to fit inside a line or two Oh these that drugs Heron flow I spaz on the stove this is Hov no flex zone Nigga who lied to you, look You're a pedestrian don't ever question the security I provide to you Oh y'all thought I was washed I'm at the cleaners Laundering dirty money like the teamsters Shout out to Hoffa back home he in the church When I heard you got booked that shit hurt Feel for you bro we know the system don't work Take a young nigga freedom over some dirt Yet it's legal in Colorado, yet we deny Black entrepreneurs free enterprise That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called the trap That's why it's called the projects cause it's exactly that Oh these people is gon' kill me Because the more I reveal me the more they afraid of the real me Welcome back Carter Smile Living in the shadows, can you imagine what kind of life it is to live In the shadows people see you as happy and free Because that's what you want them to see Living two lives, happy but not free You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love The world is changing and they say it's time to be free But you live with the fear of just being me Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be No harm for them, no harm for me But life is short and it's time to be free Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed Smile
