C-Mob - Smile lyrics

Our lifestyles be close captioned
Addicted to fatal attractions
Got a pistol sitting on my hip
For whenever it's time for action
So much drama, so much crimes of passion
Dear heavenly father could you ease my mind
I'm askin?
They say ask and you shall receive
I’ll make these cowards grieve
I’m sick of the backstabbing
So sick of all the sour deeds
It’s hard to trust
I've heard a thousand lies
Things come and go
But, you will always have
Your smiles and cries
Many people you will meet and
They will make an impression
Bad shit will happen that you
Gotta take as a lesson
Ain't no faking or guessing


Gotta break the depression
Get out and grind
Don't go to sleep 'cause you're
Awake and you're stressing
Everything happens for a reason, loyalty
Treason some are forever
Some are just for the season
People cross you cause they're full
Of greed and vile
The best revenge you can get is
Let 'em see you smile

Nobody ever said our life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free
And even though we all
Go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going
Through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game

Nobody ever said our life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free
And even though we all
Go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going
Through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game

Sometimes I smile just to hide the pain
Standing outside in rain
Trying to wash away these memories
From my violent brain
Tormented by the pain of the past
Contemplating pointing a pistol at my
Brain and just blast
You see we're living in these livid days
We should be giving praise
Instead try not to slit our
Throat with rigid blades
This world is wicked, it'll kill and destroy
But no matter what
Never rely or it'll be stealing your joy
You gotta use hate as motivation
Keep calm and hold your patience
Be true to self, don't lose yourself
And lose your soul to Satan
Some people try to sell their soul for riches
Thinking it can buy them happiness and
Get them loads of bitches
It brings more problems
That's what they tell me a lot
I'd rather be broke and happy
Than be wealthy and not
It's all about your point of view, I guess
And when I get to really think about it
Why I do I stress
I need to trust in God's will
No time to doubt or to question
Instead of counting my losses
I'll be counting my blessings
I'll pray for every woman, man, and child
And if they ever see God
They take his hand and smile

Nobody ever said our life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free
And even though we all
Go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going
Through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game
Nobody ever said our life would be easy
And there's nothing in this world for free
And even though we all
Go through the struggle
It don't mean we have to go through misery
I said you gotta smile through the bullshit
You gotta smile through the pain
You gotta smile whether you're going
Through hell or high water
Just be happy you're still in the game
