Smile

[Intro: Jered Sanders]
I just wanna make 'em smile
That too much to ask for?
Nah
Yeah

[Verse 1: Jered Sanders]
Penning out this letter in my notepad
All I'm thinking 'bout is flowers and propeller planes
Maybe a couple briar patches and a wedding ring
Thinking I done seen a better picture of this Heaven thing
I got anything and everything I asked for
'Cause I was past poor and now I got a passport
And I'm feeling flyer than a mother (uh)
Ever since I came in a tie with the Number One
Now I got a honey bun fresh out the vending machine
And I never want, [?] just the prettiest thing
And I'm in love with them, finna be queen, it's gardening
It's never our peas in a pod, we all fitting, uh
And the commission is to love 'em like my God does
I'm not a hard thug trudging through the wild, crazy
Me, I'm steady tryna make my daddy proud lately
I just wanna see 'em smile, baby, I just wanna make 'em smile

[Hook: Jered Sanders]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I just wanna make you smile (oh!)
Never knew a love like this
Never knew a love like this before
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I just wanna make you smile (oh!)
Never knew a love like this
Never knew a love like this before

[Verse 2: Jered Sanders]
Yeah, it's kinda crazy what the world look like
And manhood looking like the world shook dice
Crap's everywhere and if the curves look right
Then every dude stalking if the pearls look white and the girl look slice
No pops around and brothers only check for if tops are down
And if a bubble out back, the block's around
And if she look fancy, then the fox around
Get it? I'm on another level now
The jersey up, traded it for a wedding gown
From being a bean bag to the number one
And the black book was longer than Shaq foot
I left it all for a tux and a cummerbund, I do
The wing tips and black socks
I was in the game like skip on the blacktop
But being Daddy got me feeling kinda proud lately
Man, I just wanna make 'em smile, baby
Let's take a bow, baby

[Hook: Jered Sanders]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I just wanna make you smile (oh!)
Never knew a love like this
Never knew a love like this before
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I just wanna make you smile (oh!)
Never knew a love like this
Never knew a love like this before

[Verse 3: Eshon Burgundy]
Yo, I wake up early in the morning, got the yearning for her
She ask me if the kids are up and I would have to concur
See, that's not the type of morning I would normally prefer
But that's just how it is, romance get destroyed by the kids
I'm on my knife, yeah, hugging on a woman of conviction
My checkered past was like a chess board, [?] position
'Til I gave a pretty girl from New Jersey a proposition
She accepted with a smile, that's love, now war over religion
I grew up in a broken home where the manhood was missing
I built a floor over the isms and walked off whistling
Made a vow, kept the vow, and I'mma keep a vow, living
Until the manhood returns to this foul system
Watch that mouth, I know you know my child listening
Carry all three in my arms at the same time
They'll cherish their fond memories of me respecting their mom
And every time I parted the pages, teaching them of the divine
It made me smile

[Outro: Sample]
"Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world"
