Same Smile

I just wanna tell a quick story if that's Cool Seems like all meaning is dull So lemme turn that half filled cup full Look Me and the team Doing things you don't see Stars do not shine, yeah They motherfuckin' beam Weezy F taught me that Im just tryna find where Mona Lisa's At Cuz I fell victim to becoming Attached Same blades that sharpen you Will stab you right in the back If this ain't true Then I ain't know what's facts I was there for them but where are They at? Left me here to dry in this laundry Mat Washed up But I once was awestruck Now I'm sitting here in this room Like "aw, f*ck" Do I rely on them Or rely on myself? Gotta pick myself up off of that shelf Gotta know me cuz they ain't reading Me well Frustrated with the world as I sail The story of life or the story of hell Freedom ain't free Till you been in a cell Slaves to the checks in the mail Greedy to the world in itself Let me ask a wise man What is wealth? Knowledge or power? He said Hunger makes him work every hour That's his choice Submit or start accepting your Flowers Damn, that's cold If you think about it The more you know The less you see Is the less you grow The more you run They won't let you go You trust in people that you do not Know So let me tell you how this goes You rolling up with homies, Sisters, and your brodies Yeah You doing shit you don't wanna Just to prove that you a hundred This is everything that you ever Wanted They use you till you plummet And they reachin' at a summit Instead of askin' when you comin' They gon' treat you like you nothin' You ain't shit Man you funny Don't be askin' me for money Even though we used to share when We was hungry Not now though Yeah, now you really a clown Red nose as they beatin' you down Can't do shit as they load that round Built them up so they could break You down Now look where you at now Now look where you at now Dead Lyin' on that ground By yourself Is the way out now, yeah Handed em' my checks just to get a Couple texts Reality sucks When you realize you're the rest Nothing special bout you Don't you be depressed Just get used to all the neglect Keep grinding for a check Better stay outta debt Or they coming for your neck It's you and your lonely They ain't your homies But you were their homie If I'm wrong Then ask if they know me They don't So I grind till I rise To the sky As they watch a moth grow wings And then fly Sometimes I think that's the meaning Of life You only get one shot not two It's just you and you Better pick which ones best for you That casket ain't got room for two You did it to yourself That's true Ain't nobody here but you Reflection of self Been destroying my health Knowing yourself be the ultimate Help That means more than the wealth Cuz at least now you know that they Will not help Worked so hard just to get shot Down Stay down Don't you get off of that ground That's the world that we live in right Now You either livin' large or you ain't Live it all You either livin' large or you ain't Live at all You either livin' large or you ain't Live at all You either livin' large or you ain't Live at all Nobody cares till they gettin' that call Never hid my pain behind no sobs I'll wear the same smile even when I'm gone, yeah I'll wear the same smile even when I'm gone You won't tell no difference at all, Yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone, yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone, yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone So smile when I'm gone So smile when I'm gone, yeah You won't tell no difference at all, Yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone Just smile when I'm gone Just smile when I'm gone, yeah Smile when I'm gone, yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone You won't tell no difference at all, Yeah I'll wear the same smile when I'm Gone
