2Pac:
 There's gonna' be some stuff that your gonna' see
 That's gonna' make it hard to smile in the future
 (No Doubt)
 But whatever you see, through all the rain and pain
 You gotta keep a sense of humor
 Gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit
 Remember that
 Just keep ya head up

 Our lifesytles be close caption
 Addicted to fatal attraction
 Pictures and actions be played back
 In the mist of mashin'
 No fairytales for this young black male
 Some see me stranded in this land of Hell
 Jail and crack cells
 ???? culture
 Or the repercussion
 While bustin' on back-stabbing vultures
 Sellin' my soul
 For material wishes
 Fast cars and bitches
 Wishin' I live my life a legend
 Immortalized in pictures
 Why shed tears, save your sympathy
 My childhood years
 Was spend burying my peers in the cemetary
 Here's a message to the newborns
 Waiting to breath:
 "If you believe
 you can achieve, just look at me"
 Against all odds
 Though life is hard, we carry on
 Living in the projects
 Broke with no lights on
 To all the G's that follow me
 Protect your essence
 Born with less but your still precious
 Just smile for me now

 Chours:
 Ohhh Won't you smile for me
 (2Pac: Just smile for me now)
 Ohhh Won't you smile for me
 (Nigga you black, smile for me now)
 Ohhh Won't you smile for me
 (You ain't got nothin' to worry about)
 (Smile for me now)
 Ohhh Won't you smile for me
 (and the next generation)

 Scarface:

 Now as I open up my story
 With the blaze of your blunt
 So you can picture thoughts slowly
 Upon phrases I run
 And I can walk you thru the dayz that it done
 I often wish that I can save everyone
 But I'm a dreamer
 Have you ever seen a nigga
 Who was strong in the game?
 Over-looking his tomorrows
 and they finally came
 Look back on childhood memories
 And I'm still feelin' the pain
 Turnin' circles in my 9th grade
 Dealin' Cocaine
 To many hassels in my local lights
 Survivin' the strain
 And a man without a focused life
 could drive him insane
 Stuck inside a getto fantasy
 Hopin' it'd change
 But we're not focused on reality
 We broken in Jane
 Had a dream of livin' wealthy
 Makin' it big
 Over football
 ????
 What take it
 He did
 And after all my mama's thankin' god
 For blessing her child
 All my mama gotz to do now is collect
 And then smile
 (2Pac: Smile)

 Chours:
 Ohhh Won't you smile for me 
 (Smile for me now) 

 2Pac:

 Fuck tha world
 As we unload, we witness furious speeds
 Un-answered questions keep us all stressin'
 Curious G's
 Back stabed and bleeding
 Crooked thoughs
 Laced with weed
 Learnin', duckin' stray shots
 Bullets be hot
 They burnin'
 Inhale the shurm smoke
 Visualize the flames
 Will I be smothered by my own pain?
 Strange wisdoms
 Cowards conversate'
 So quick to dis' us
 Takin' pictures for the Feds
 In desperate hopes they get us
 Hit us all, give us plenty centuries
 Forgive my stance
 Sense I entered many penitentiaries
 The best revenge
 Is fuck friends
 We milatary minded soljahs
 Bustin' shots blindly
 Trying to find Jahova
 To help me
 Somebody save me
 Lost and crazy
 Scared to drop a seed
 Hopin' I ain't cursed babies
 Maybe now
 Niggaz feel me now
 Picture my pain
 Embrace my words
 Make the world change
 And still I smile nigga

 Chrous till fade....
