Wish I Could Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1: K-Rino] Everybody know how much hate this world brung out I guess that's why babies be screaming when they come out Minute after minute, struggle can't take one off The days is even dark, somebody musta pissed the Sun off Now, how the hell am I supposed to smile at that? Never understood how boys be cheesing when their pockets flat Can't help slackers, gotta cut the love off Hanging 'round broke people, broke thoughts rubbed off I don't do nothing for the sound of applause The only thing I truly own can be found in my drawers Frustration and aggravation, what's the number one cause? Inside of fake homies, haters, baby-mamas and laws My own problem, I can't iron it out So now I'm crying every night on my psychiatrist's couch Going in, thinking 'bout my dead partners and I teared up Life is so cold, I watch the news to get cheered up [Chorus, Z-Ro] I wish I could smile, baby Ninety percent of the time, I usually don't give a fuck I'm cool but everybody around me so fucked up I say I wish I could smile, baby Life is a bitch then you die Maybe then me and my people can smile [Verse 2, Z-Ro] Y'all already know it's been hard and sometimes I wanted to die And since I never been too much of a man to cry Many days with a face full of water Stressing like I wonder if my daughter's really my daughter Bitchass IRS done froze all of my bank accounts Keith Harris, I'ma whoop your ass for that, just giving you something to think about Tampering with evidence and misdemeanor possessions State troopers treated a nigga like they saw me with a weapon Attorney general so greedy, they like, "We need mo' That's all you got, Mr. McVey? Ain't you a CEO?" It might be easy for you to smile, but you ain't me Been on probation since February, but I still ain't free 2Pac said you gotta find a way to smile through the bullshit Otherwise, every ten seconds, you'll be like, "This some bullshit" I smoke a blunt to take the pain out And if I wasn't blessed, I'd probably try to blow my brains out Smile [Chorus, Z-Ro] I wish I could smile, baby Ninety percent of the time, I usually don't give a fuck I'm cool but everybody around me so fucked up I say I wish I could smile, baby Life is a bitch then you die Maybe then me and my people can smile [Verse 3, Klondike Kat] You niggas rather see me frowning than smiling and getting it But I been had the world on my shoulders, I'm a soldier, God is my witness Better know the street life will turn you out But if you a street nigga, that 9-to-5 might burn you out So you thinking of a better way to get cash, dodging the feds and the dope pad I-10 with a chicken and a dough stack as the world turns slow, I move fast X on my back and the penitentiary on my heels Got me weaving through these snakes, ready to bust the steel, peel at will That's real, so why in the fuck would I trust y'all haters? Y'all ain't 'bout that gangsta shit, you can put my name on some paper Ain't no loyalty in you, ain't no rules that you play by It's cutthroat on everybody for the fame and the stay fly Is you serious? I thank God for the mind that he gave me To help me navigate the street life and to slip these shadies Klondike Kat gon' keep them snakes back 'cause they hatin' is crazy But I'ma stay forever real until they dirt and they grave me, that's why I smile
