Smile

Jm: Everything is awesome, I smile so often
Get all fired up just seeing a fire truck,
Just skipping to the music backyard playing ball
All the live long day cause its all great
Sleep: I couldn’t wait to start my day off lace my
Stadia's up
Hopped over the fence to my neighbors spot
Wake up wake up knock knock invade the layer
With talks about playing mortal combat all day on sega

Jm: All my buddies we be down like rail spikes
T-p your house, put potatoes in tailpipes
Pulling pranks outasite sneaking out at night
Being out all night for me it just feels right
Sleep: Man I hope I’m not last
To get picked for kick ball
Cuz if I do I’m going back to the crib for pit fall
And I’m not coming out till that glorious sound
Of the snow-cone lady coming around!

If you smile, it'll last a while
It'll get you there, when it gets wild
If you smile for me, when I look at you
So that I'll know, I'm not alone
Jm: Back in the days when I was a teenager...
Lsd dealer puttin numbers in my pager
Starter caps raiders jacket at the mall
Racking gear buying beer yelling yes yes yall

Sleep: I used to riggity rock pokadots and criggity
Cross colors
Break out into a dance routinefter I dropped a hot
Verse
(No lie)and I laugh about it now
(I was so high) don’t ever think I came back down
Jm: I was learning bout loyalty chilling with my crew
We be drinking by the traintracks, talking about who
You'd do
Jennifer or jessica or hillary or emily
If you anyone took my girl, 'they were the enemy'

Sleep
But these are the days were making memories
You can't take em away...
Rolling a bucket while we pass the j, it goes fast
Away,
And laughs get cast away if you forget to smile.

If you smile, it'll last a while
It'll get you there, when it gets wild...
If you smile for me, when I look at you
So that I'll know, I'm not alone
Verse 3 - all growed up
Jm: I be getting buzzed, rubbed every which way
And every single day of the year in the mirror
I get weirder and weirder looking /aging crooked ways/
Smile/ look at those dog gone grays

Sleep: Fell fast hit the ground twice
Found out that I didn’t know much about life
The sparkle in my eye reduced to a mood-light
And friendships turned into sellouts in the moonlight
Jm: And it makes you scared of me...
You always got somewhere to be
Your supposed to smile
When it don't seem fair to me

Sleep: Its hard to make sense of this madness
Recreation turns habit
Reconciliation needs to happen
So I can get some peace for now...and keep reachin out
Sometimes you gotta re-teach yourself how to smile...
Smile. Better last a while,
Gotta be prepared when it gets wild,
If you smile for me, I'll sing a song for you...
So that you'll know...your not alone.
