0:09I promise it's no love lost
0:10What that half acre house in the slums cost
0:13If I gave it my all probably fall short
0:16Tryna charge to the game
0:17It's a blood sport
0:19Mic check
0:19Mic check
0:20Mic check
0:21Least that's what it feel like
0:23Slow down sit tight what they tell me
0:26You should try walking light with two left feet
0:28Devil's dance praying hands can't protect me
0:31On God
0:32But I know if I prayed more
0:34I could probably save more
0:35Running through these bank notes
0:36Stressing as the waves roll by
0:38Keep my fade low I can't get let the grays grow
0:40Just another day closer to my demise
0:43Keep the gang 'round least
0:45The ones that stayed down
0:46Love to see they face smile
0:47Love to see they heads held high
0:51Everybody gotta die
0:53Only question is it hell or in the sky yeah
0:56Just don't forget to smile
0:59Don't forget to smile
1:00Know the world can weigh you down
1:03Not now then when
1:04Not this then how
1:07Don't forget to smile
1:10Don't forget to smile
1:11Don't you lose your inner child
1:14Not now
1:15Not now
1:15Not now
1:16Not now
1:18I got a call the other day
1:20From my partner on the 4 yard in pelican bay
1:22Popped his pistol once and
1:24Them people put him away
1:25Promised him he would never
1:26Get to see the light of day
1:28Asked how I was said he seen me on ABC
1:31Told him that I was good wonder if he believed
1:33Couldn't tell him the truth
1:35What kind of homie would I be
1:36Knowing these fifteen minutes
1:37The only time that he free
1:39See it's hard to sleep when
1:40You the only one living the dream
1:42Hard to leave s*** hanging
1:43When you the money tree
1:45Something about the gutter
1:46That make us hate each other
1:47Had to bury my older brother
1:49It humbled me
1:50Pulling his plug like a trick from under my sleeve
1:53Just the luck of the draw
1:54Don't know who shuffle the cards
1:56Heard his name is God
1:59Just pick up when I call
2:00Right now it's free of charge
2:02And don't forget to smile
2:05Don't forget to smile
2:07Weigh you down
2:09Not now then when
2:10Not this then how
2:14Don't forget to smile
2:16Don't forget to smile
2:18Don't you lose your inner child
2:20Not now
