Smile Lyrics

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' at heart be a nigga's 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

I personally have many, many, many favorites, a whole fucking era is lost though. Here's 10 bangers pre 1999 hip hop passed away after that...

Boom, there you go, that is my all time favorite
Hip Hop Song because it spoke to the hood all real,
one of the very few hip hop songs where the lyrics
were 100% real. I always said now thats real talk right
there. Biggie just spoke on what people in the hood was
thinking.

I had to sit back and think about it for a while which song is my all-time favorite.

I picked it because it embodies hip-hop in all forms. The lyrics, the story, the feelings in the song and the way the beat was sampled and mixed. Classic.

Its a shame someone of such great talent is no longer with us.

Damn, I likin' that song. Shit is raw. Chill ass beat, and hard lyrics. Big dude in the beginning reminds me of Chubb Rock.

Too bad Jeru The Damaja(at the end) isnt around much anymore. He had a ton of talent. Then again, talent isnt always the measure of success these days.
 
Well I say with shame that my fav song issssss

The Thong Song, and yes I'm serious, i think i had this song on repeat for the duration of 2001 -2002 edging a little into 2003 I get it out on the odd occasion now and think of my youth. :)

Good stuff, it's good to hear the old tunes are still making the rounds, anything Garage that went past 2003 was shot to shit, there really was a golden era around b4 that.

Lol @ era though, soon i will be sounding like my Nan talking about doing the Jitterbug to So Solid crew. :D
