Intro: 2Pac
 There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
 that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
 But through whatever you see
 through all the rain and the pain
 you gotta keep your sense of humor.
 You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
 Remember that.
 Mmm  yeah.
 Keep ya head up.Yeah.

 Verse One: 2Pac

 Our lifestyles be close captioned
 addicted to fatal attractions
 Pictures of actions be played back
 in the midst of mashin'
 No fairy tales for this young black male
 Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and crack sales
 Hustlin' and heart be a nigga culture
 or the repercutions while bustin' on backstabbin' 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 were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary
 Here's a message to the newborns, waitin' to breathe
 If you believe then you can achieve
 Just look at me
 Against all odds, though life is hard we carry on
 Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on
 To all the seeds that follow me
 protect your essence
 Born with less, but you still precious
 Just smile for me now

 Chours: Johnny P, 2Pac

 Smiiiiiile for me , won't you smile (smile for me now)
 Just smiiiile (smile), smile for me
 (What cha lookin' all sad for, nigga you black, smile for me now)
 Smiiiiiile for me (nigga you ain't got nothin' to be worried about)
 Won't you smile (no doubt, smile for me now) just smiiiiile
 (And the next generation)

 Verse Two: Scarface

 Now as I open up my story
 with the blaze a 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
 To 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'd change
 But when I focus on reality we broke and in chains
 Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it big
 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 (without 2pac)

 Verse Three: 2Pac

 Fuck the world as we ???? and witness furious speeds
 of nasty questions keep us all stressin', curious G's
 Backstabbed and bleedin', fuckin' thoughts laced with weed
 Learnin', duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin'
 Inhalin' sherm smoke, visualized the flames
 Will I be smothered by my own pain?
 Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us
 Takin' pictures for the feds, and desperate hopes they'd get us
 Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins
 Since I ain't in many penitenturies 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

 (Scarface talking)

 And now a moment of silence, let us pray
 And as you journey into outerspace
 may the angels help to lead the way
 shine up on 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 the prayers for our homie 'Pac
 Smile

 (Smile for me)
 (All ya need to do is smile)
 (Woooo smile for me)
 (Come on smile for me
