Smile (Explicit) - Jay-Z/Gloria Carter Written by:Shawn Carter/Dion Wilson/Stevie Wonder Good morn' or evening friends
Smile you recordin'
Slammin' Bentley doors like we invented doors 20 years ago we drove Bentley Azures We drinkin' Cristal and yeah
Kept the tray on me like Chris Paul then
Drinkin' Ace of Spades like it's codeine now
Tryna put a million on the whole team now
Push through the pain so we can see new life So all the ladies havin' babies see a sacrifice Mama had four kids but she's a lesbian Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian Had to hide in the closet so she medicate Society shame and the pain was too much to take Cried tears of joy when you fell in love Don't matter to me if it's a him or her I just wanna see you smile through all the hate Marie Antoinette baby let 'em eat cake Bad times turn to good memories smile Even when I'm gone and you remember me smile Good times never fade away smile Even if I'm not with you here today smile
Good morn' or evening friends Smile
Here's your friendly announcer Smile
Far as draft picks my name did not get called
Bet before I go I put a billion on the board Hall of Fame Hov I did it all without a pen Y'all knew that was comin' I had to remind y'all again huh
Flyin' paper planes through the projects
Now the whole projects on my jet
Now you see the real in the front row In every one of y'all televised shows
Super facts
Niggas switched sides traded pride we don't do all that A loss ain't a loss it's a lesson
Appreciate the pain it's a blessin' Bad times turn to good memories smile Even when I'm gone and you remember me smile Good times never fade away smile Even if I'm not with you here today smile
Good morn' or evening friends
I mastered my aesthetics I know you often heard me wax poetic 'bout bein' back in the Lexus But trust me that was nothin' A ni**a up in the hundreds of millions I have no ceilings ah this that feelin' I'm that boy
Anita Baker's You Bring Me Joy Slappin' out of the toy the separation is clear
In my rear-view mirror objects is further than they appear Oh yeah I was born with a pair Playin' for high stakes Norman's Cay he looked up and out of the Lear How niggas can't relate
F**k a slice of the apple pie want my own cake In charge of my own fate Respect Jimmy Iovine
But he gotta respect the Elohim as a whole new regime And niggas playin' for power huh
So our music is ours Niggas only own houses Ours was f**k you pay me Now it's f**k payin' me I pay you Put the rest away for Blue That blood money I giggle at it Can't even support my miss's habit Jewelry shoppin' in Paris All y'all jewelers should be embarrassed huh
Blood diamonds drippin' with guilt I still ain't trippin' that's life winners and losers
Drug dealers and abusers America likes me ruthless My therapist said I relapsed I said Prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips God sent me to break the chain I'm the true and livin' God in the flesh the rest of these niggas is vain A stain on the white suit inferior IQ
Niggas'll rip your sh*t off TIDAL just to spite you Ahhhh what did I do 'Cept try to free you Niggas'll love you but hate you 'cause they can't be you Dump 'em all in the bayou uh Everybody wave bye to the guy you thought you could lie to This was meant to be a haiku huh
But my story's too wide to fit inside the line or two Oh these that drugs h****n flow I spaz on the stove This is Hov no flex zone ni**a who lied to you Look you a pedestrian Don't ever question the security I provided you Oh y'all thought I was washed I'm at the cleaners Launderin' dirty money like the Teamsters huh Shout out to Hoffa back home he in the church When I heard you got booked that sh*t hurt Fear for you bro we know the system don't work
Take a young ni**a's freedom over some dirt Yet it's legal in Colorado
Yeah we deny Black entrepreneurs free enterprise That's why it's a black market that's why it's called the trap That's why it's called the projects 'cause it's exactly that All these people was gon' kill me heh 'Cause the more I reveal me the more they 'fraid of the real me Welcome back Carter smile
Living in the shadow Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live
In the shadows people see you as happy and free
Because that's what you want them to see
Living two lives happy but not free
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting Your family or the person you love
The world is changing and they say it's time to be free But you live with the fear of just being me
Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
No harm for them no harm for me
But life is short and it's time to be free
Love who you love because life isn't guaranteed
