[Chorus: Johnny P & 2Pac]
Smile for me, won't you smile? (Smile for me now)
Just smile, smile for me (Smile)
What you lookin'✦ all sad for?
Nigga,✦ you Black, smile for me now
Smile for me
Nigga,✦ you ain't got nothin'✦ to be worried about
Won't you smile? No doubt, smile for me now
Just smile (And the next generation)
[Verse 2: Scarface]
Now, as I open✦ up my story,✦ with the blaze of your blunts
And you can picture✦ thoughts slowly,✦ up on phrases I wrote
And I can walk you through the days that I done
I often✦ wish that I could save everyone, but I'm a dreamer
Have you ever✦ seen a nigga✦ who was strong in the game
Overlookin' his tomorrows, and they finally came?
Look back on childhood memories,✦ and I'm still feelin'✦ the pain
Turnin'✦ circles in my life, came to dealin'✦ cocaine
Too many✦ hassles in my local life, survivin' the strain
And a man without a focus,✦ life could drive him insane✦
Stuck inside✦ a ghetto✦ fantasy, hopin'✦ it change
But when I focus✦ on reality, we broke and in chains
Had a dream of livin'✦ wealthy and makin'✦ it big
Over✦ football, chose to cook raw, wouldn't take, but I did
And after✦ all my momma's✦ thankin' God for blessin'✦ the child
All my momma✦ gots to do now is collect it and smile
Smile
[Chorus: Johnny P]
Smile for me, won't you smile?
Just smile, smile for me
Smile for me
Won't you smile? Just smile
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Fuck the world, as we unloading, witness furious✦ speeds
Unanswered✦ questions keep us all stressin',✦ curious✦ G's
Backstabbed and bleedin'
Crooked thoughts laced✦ with weed, learnin'
Duckin'✦ stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'✦
Inhale✦ the sherm smoke, visualize the flames✦
Will I be smothered✦ by my own pain?
Strange whispers, cowards conversate,✦ so quick to diss us
Takin'✦ pictures for the Feds, in desperate✦ hopes✦ they'd get us
Hit us all, give us plenty✦ centuries✦
Forgive my sins, since I entered✦ many✦ penitentiaries✦
The best revenge is "Fuck friends" – we military-minded soldiers
Bustin'✦ shots blindly, tryin' to find Jehovah
To help me, somebody save me – lost and crazy✦
Scared✦ to drop a seed, hopin'✦ I ain't cursed✦ my babies✦
Maybe now niggas✦ feel me now, picture✦ my pain
Embrace✦ my words, make the world change
And still I smile, nigga✦
[Bridge: Scarface]
And now a moment of silence, let us pray
And as you journey into✦ outerspace✦
May the angels help to lead the way
May the prayers that our families✦ made
Shine upon your soul to keep you safe
And all the homies✦ that done passed✦ away✦
They there to greet you as you pass the gates✦
And as you headed✦ to the tunnel's light
I hope it leads to eternal life
We say these prayers for the homie 'Pac
[Chorus: Johnny P]
Smile, smile for me
All you need to do is smile
Woooo, smile for me
Come on, smile for me
