Smile

HOOK:
I don't know how to deal today, but you won't take my smile away/
You won't take my smile away (2x)
I kneel to my knees and pray, "please don't take my smile away"/
Please don't take my smile away (2x)

V1:
I've got the blues in me/
It used to be "you and me" but you were using me/
Did I fail to mention/
That it's been brought to my attention that the little homies pimping/
That messes with your psyche/
When you've invested years of teaching peers to do the right thing/
Its striking, lighting/
I've been blocking spammers while you're cocking hammers and its frightening/
A little sudden that it hit me/
So quickly, like the vodka is to buzzing/
And its hard not to feel a grudge when/
Your momma tells you that they've shot your little cousin/
Heard who did it, first reaction was that Dilla noise/
We morn your death and celebrate your life to fill a void/
Now a statistic and I'm still annoyed/
But you won't steal my smile, steal my laughter, steal my heart, no you won't steal my joy/

HOOK:
I don't know how to deal today, but you won't take my smile away/
You won't take my smile away (2x)
I kneel to my knees and pray, "please don't take my smile away"/
Please don't take my smile away (2x)

V2:
I wrote these words so I could honor the people/
Who's fate they faced but then they escaped astonishing evil/
Who's brain was ached but didn't break they conquered cerebral/
To see your pain it angered me but look at who you became, you inspire me/
I wrote these words to honor the hurting/
Who's current state is facing this great astonishing burden/
This global state is veiled but we will conquer the curtain/
To see your pain it angers me, to freedom in HIS name, you inspire me to smile/

BRIDGE:
Little lady you're a conquerer (yes you are)/
Pretty lady you're a conquerer ( yes you are)/
Your scars they are removable (yes they are)/
Pretty lady you are beautiful (yes you are)/
Little homie you're a conquerer (yes you are)/
Big homie you're a conquerer (yes you are)/
They thought your heart was one they can kill (they were wrong)/
So beat your chest because you're a man still/

HOOK:
I don't know how to deal today, but you won't take my smile away/
You won't take my smile away (2x)
