Still Smiling (Smiling, Pt. 2)

(album: Impatiently Waiting - 2013)

If I found a way
If I found a way to keep my head up through every day, day
Then I be okay
Yeah I'll be okay, yeah I know that I'll be okay

I didn't start this rapping just so I could sign a deal
Man I started making music just to pay my mama's bills
I'm following dreams but still struggling
Homie I'm out here juggling
Who I am? 'Cause I'm lost, who I'm steadily becoming?
Pick the mic up years ago
Before these social networks
For people who were working miracles when music was still lyrical
Now this shit is hysterical
Commercial ass bullshit
I should empty your full clip into the game of music
It's an art not a business
People getting invicted getting
People to listen to my records been a mission
Give a fuck about the critics
They ain't know about the demons I've been seeing
In the struggles I've overcame when I beating
I ain't got a fucking image no gimics just on a mission
To open these peoples minds to be in different
Ain't no limits no restrictions on life
There ain't no wrong and no right
These other rappers won't ever last
Don't believe in the hype and that's quick

If I found a way
If I found a way to keep my head up through every day, day
Then I be okay
Yeah I'll be okay, yeah I know that I'll be okay

On the road for a couple weeks this is for my loved ones
Supporters said I've changed and I'm not who I once was
Said they miss the old me when y'all don't even know me
Now how's that make sense it doesn't so fucking blow me
Someone tell me my real name
I'm hating all of these changes
These pills and that mary jane
Help believate the pain
People constantly judging me like I'm not a normal human
Y'all build me up just to knock me down
Ain't shit I had to prove
None of y'all been up in my shoes
Y'all some motherfucking fools
Telling me that I fucking changed
Who the motherfuck is you
I'm a pill popping animal
God science experiment
Been in and out of therapy just searching for serenity
My girl would thinking less of me
These groupies trying to get on me
But fuck it, I'm down like Marilyn Monroe and Kennedy
People tell me the same shit fucking sick of hearing it
Wish I could just go and take the past and go and bury it, for real

If I found a way
If I found a way to keep my head up through every day, day
Then I be okay
Yeah I'll be okay, yeah I know that I'll be okay
If I found a way
If I found a way to keep my head up through every day, day
Then I be okay
Yeah I'll be okay, yeah I know that I'll be okay
