Smile

(album: Broad Shoulders - 2015)

[Taylor Bennett:]
I smile cause I had somewhere to sleep this morning
I smile cause I had something to eat this morning
I smile cause I got to sleep in this morning
I smile cause I even got to see this morning
I smile when my shoes got jacked yesterday
Cause I still had socks and I still got brains
I smile when pretty chicks ain't give me a wave
Because they don't know who I am or who I'm gonna be
I smile when I get targeted name calling yeah
All of that recalling shit like you are the man
Skip the lame shit like I'm on demand
I am the man
Tell his ass smile fam if he ain't want no problems
Then alright b, holla then
Money Mitch with a mind like Rico
Still somehow claim me for the people
Still smile when I see them in the street though

I smile when I pulled out that drive way
Cause it felt like the breeze was a new summer day
I smile when that pretty girl gave me a wave
Cause she could look at my ice and tell that I move weight
Till I got a call 'bout an argument that had started last night
When I was hitting home girl on the ottoman
Said, "Your homeboy turnt up in the party, fam
Shots got let off and he ain't leave in no ambulance."
God damn, there it is the front page terrorist
Embarrassing our heritage
Thick to a regimen
Searching for respected parties
Trying to be a legend living
I'm just trying to stack this money
Buy a house and raise a kid
I ain't got no time for that
All I got is confidence I know I got confidence
But I don't know 'bout common sense
And this the kind of world I'm gon raise my son or daughter in
I got a call "Your son is born. You're officially a father, kid."

I smile when I woke up out my sleep this morning
Cause the last thought I had was who had creeped this morning
Now the last thought I had was who to beep this morning
Who to greet this morning
Who to serve heat this morning
I guess life is a'ight, light and complete this morning
I guess I could survive [?] rearrange my story
I guess time easily flies by when you count down orders
In a trap house working, cause you trapped on purpose
As if your back don't hurt
Moving this weight for the groceries
Grossing less than you supposed to be
Cause you supposed to be Hercules
How you feeding a family?
You moving blocks for the older G's
You ain't touching the quarter ki's
Cheap jackets and jewelry
You too loud, you ain't fooling me
I can tell you ain't cool with me
But you still wanna cool with me
I'm too old for this foolery
Out the game 'fore it ruins me
Now smile back if you're feeling me
