Smile
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
He was a young kid with a spark in his eye
They said he can do anything he just had to apply
And he believed the words
Until about 15 when he saw what other people were doing for green
Quick money
And that was all that he knew
And to get it there was pretty much nothing he wouldn't do
'Til he got caught up
And they put him away 5 year stretch up in Lompoc for GTA
But it was more than enough
He started going to work
Reading a book a week
He even started going to church and he was writing rhymes
He had a lyrical gift
He didn't have to think about it
He just shot from the hip
And they let him out early he was just 26
But when he got home you know his mother was sick
And in her final hours
Where he sat by her bed
She looked into his eyes and here's what she said
I said yo I'm talking to you
This world ain't your home
You're just passing through
So use your smile
And make it your song
You sing as much as you can
Until it's time to move on
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
But he was much stronger from his time inside
Physically and mentally knew how to survive
He had skills that he honed down to a blade
The same kind he used to keep them killers at bay
He got a regular job and he scrimped and he saved
For some studio time to record a mix tape
And it came out great
It was real
It had what they called universal appeal
Now all he had to do was get it in the right hands
So he worked the boulevard and just pushing his brand
This ain't no fairytale
The man was paying his dues
But he had everything going for him but a clue
About how the industry do
So finally he got him a meeting in hollywood with a jew
And he was a serious dude
He said sit down son
Im gonna talk you're gonna listen

This world ain't your home
You're just passing through
So use your smile
And make it your song

Until it's time to move on
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile

So low and behold the boy got him a deal
A hundred thousand dollar advance
New automobile
So he stuck to his craft
In fact he kept getting better
Refused to fall off 'cause he was making some cheddar
And this thirst for knowledge
Came through in his words
He prefered the esoteric
Gangster rap was for the nerds
And the older he got the hipper he got to the game
And slowly the lowly student a master became
And though he got dealt a bad hand from the start
He kept evolving
Never lost sight of his art
He knows this world ain't his home
And he's just passing through
But while he's here he's gonna do the best he can do
And life might be short
But it's always worth living
And the only thing better than taking is giving
And everyday he gives his son the gist of this vision
He says sit down son
I'm gonna talk you're gonna listen
I said yo I'm talking to you
This world ain't your home
You're just passing through
So use your smile
And make it your song
You sing as much as you can
Until it's time to move on
I said yo I'm talking to you
This world ain't your home
You're just passing through
So use your smile
And make it your song
You sing as much as you can
Until it's time to move on
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
Just smile
