[Hook 1]
Smile baby, they really can’t keep you down baby
We all going thru the trials baby, we all kinda have our doubts baby
Cuz when it rains baby, and everything change baby
Loved ones start to rearrange baby, God stay the same baby
[Verse]
I remember it’s my birthday, a kid so excited
Ali versus Tyson, tryna smile family fighting
Tryna remember good times, tryna remember Titans
It’s all slanted now, slurred speech and bad writing
Another birthday a girl that I thought of wifing
Hit me, told me come back home and that’s enticing
Just to front on me as soon as I arrived
Like 80 plus on the dash, still had my permit drive
Same shorty different birthday, talked to me all day
My grandmother died and she asked me am I ok
That was a day behind by 11:25 she awol
What can I say y’all, just blow out the candles nigga
[Hook 2]
Smile baby, they really can’t keep you down baby
We all going thru the trials baby, we all kinda have our doubts baby
Smile baby, they really can’t keep you down baby
We all going thru the trials baby, we all kinda have our doubts baby

I remember Uncle Randy died, didn’t know why
So I just cried, and thought about his PT cruiser
Like who gon drive it, barely had the mileage
Still a young man, but that was my first time and
I remember driving home from Raw, Cena had a draw
Seen a dead man on the road and the stories I told
As if I went to war and thus became victimized
Little did I know I just became desensitized
Felt numb for a period then I rushed back
Popped it in my head Rushmore, I need to clutch back
Cuz I’m paranoid always thinking someone tryna end the party
Think that’s when I went from hardly praying to just praying hardly
[Hook 3]
Cuz when it rains baby, and everything change baby
Loved ones start to rearrange baby, God stay the same baby
Cuz when it rains baby, and everything change baby
Loved ones start to rearrange baby, God stay the same baby

First time I knew what love is, I felt it in my stomach
I wanted hurl, I wanna be with that girl
Fast forward, wedding dress but I'm not across the aisle
Find love can run dry, river nile in denial
To this day, I think about that girl who’s obsessed
Cuz she cool and I was cold and I avoided the sex
Like her new agenda, knew a gender, looking real pressed
But she more like a fan, she just want my success
Now the one I’m interested in, we only always argue
Sobering feelings, but we don't even pick up bottles
Beautiful mind rhode scholar, pretty eyes you a model
They just rocking soccer tees, but you be reading Aristotle
Then I started realizing, some pain traumatizes
We start to grow a garden, with patches and fertilizer
Expect to smell the roses, leads to fake smile poses
Glory what I once knew departed like Moses
Cuz I thought I was different, like I'm new and improved
I just had proof of what all that pain would do
Then I didn’t pray, didn’t grow, I tried to ignore it
So now what came around before came right back in orbit, so smile nigga
[Hook 1]
Smile baby, they really can’t keep you down baby
We all going thru the trials baby, we all kinda have our doubts baby
Cuz when it rains baby, and everything change baby
Loved ones start to rearrange baby, God stay the same baby

I’m tryna hop in a Benz, my crew is always 10
They always staying on 5, they want us dead or alive
I put my head to the sky, just thanking God we survived
I say my prayers for my tribe, click and we bang for the tribe
[Verse]
Stay on my dolo, I’m talking to God, cuz He always keep my inspired
They hated Jay and they hated Bron, if they hating me, my company fine
Talking bout driving a company car, I’m tryna say that the company mine
How you be tryna jack my aesthetic, a pretty idea to a beautiful mind
[Hook]
I’m tryna hop in a Benz, my crew is always 10
