K'naan Smile Lyrics

My tragedy's different
My life's deep, listen,
Gotta bail, I'm limpin
Walked outta hell's kitchen
Why bother cherishin'
My past is everything , wrong, and my arrogance
Walk down the stairs p___in'
Cop us cuz they're b____in'
life isnt fair, singin'
Blues and my rap drippin'
Ooze out the blood
Sinkin deep down to earth
thinking leave out a nerp chicken
I should run, forfit, and everything I know LISTEN,

I was
The misdirected
I was
The least expected
Hop on
And get rejected
Walk on
And feel neglected
I feel
Like im the message
Unheard
But Im the message
Im the last prolific remaining offer from the gutter

SHOT
was my girlfriend
when
We was younger
her
I was scarred yo
Bullets
I survived though
Death
It's came easy
Truth
the games needs me
Never let them see me down, smile while Im bleeding

Smile
When your struggilin
Smile
When Your in jail
Smile
When your dead broke
Smile
And the rents due
Smile
You aint got friends now
Smile
And no one knows you
Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding
Smile
When he leaves you
Smile
Cause girl he needs you
Smile
Plenty single mothers cry the tears you do
Smile
Despite the war
Smile
despite the pain yo
Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding

to my man curently in prison
I can't speak your name
It hurt me that you never listened
It cant be the same
I had to grow my intuition
Had me deep in pain
Cause i knew my options were either broke or the prison chains
I can't do it
I can't see it, look
d___it, I can't blow it
I got a judge tellin me my lifes key
they will throw it
nuh-uh, no sir
i plan to have a chauffeur
it seems to me this chopping crack is really going no where

Therefore
I'm resurrected
They call me
The poor Injection
I infect you with the real
The Dustyfeetphilosahectagos
I spit, so sick
I skid out
Im fallin'
I'm s___ outta luck and I'm trapped but ill get out

Can You Help me
Im goin crazy
My mom plays trix and i beat on the floor like bush wick
My fists b_____ and blistered
a pair Like im balistic
I just stare at the red and smile while im bleedin

There are a few things you gotta take into acount
im not an entertainer i've never been a clown
i was born where tha mothers give birth while they frown
i would walk with the kids that would bbbrrraaaa a sound ah
never really thought i'd make it to fourteen
and anybody wanted to fight i was most keen
plus i had a little temper it was often forseen
yo say somethin bout my momma id shoot ya dead out clean
But ya gotta keep in mind that I grew up Mogadishu
the only law was gun law
and we dont walk with a pistol
you get laughed at for being so insensitive to the environment
cause how will you be heard when those big boys are firin'
war is no place for a child
especially if hes rollin' with an AK and a smile
he had witnesses on mother b_____ in a towel
but please, please, please, please
but never let em see you down smile while you bleedin'

Smile
When your struggilin
Smile
When Your in jail
Smile
When your dead broke
Smile
And the rents due
Smile
You aint got friends now
Smile
And no one knows you
Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding
Smile
When he leaves you
Smile
Cause girl he needs you
Smile
plenty single mothers cry the tears you do
Smile
Despite the war
Smile
despite the pain yo
Never let them see you down smile while you bleeding
