MALACHI SUPREME - Smile

I don't got an ego
It's a mask that protect me from the people
Defense mechanism help me when I feel low
Throw it on, nigga I'm my own hero
That's SUPREME, hoe
I don't got a lot of friends, I ain't open enough
I got an awkward lil grin, I ain't social enough
And yet the ladies seem to dig me though
Lost love got me feeling kinda indigo
I'll admit it (though) I'm a grown man now
Car key, house key in my hand now
I don't need your rhythm, move to my own sound
And I don't need opinions cause my own too loud
Somebody shut it down
Something in the air, I don't really care
Go and take your feelings over there, kick em down the stairs
Double middle fingers to the air, when they stare, screaming "fuck that"
Shooting at your character, better up it and bust back
Smile through it all, don't let em get involved
All teeth when they come around, I could never fall
Nobody would believe me if I said I was down
Cause don't nobody trust them tears when they come from a clown
So I smile (what I do, what I do, what I do?)
So I smile (what we do, what we do, what we do?)
Nobody would believe me if I said I was down
Cause don't nobody trust them tears when they come from a clown
Class clown, cause I was lacking attention back at home
Act proud to be different, but I still feel alone
I was loud and offensive saying shit I never meant
When all I wanted was assurance that I'm not on my own
I done stayed quiet when I needed some help
Never chose violence unless it was on myself
Fucking suicidal tendencies, thought it was the end for me
Self-sabotaging like reflections be my enemies
Guess it wasn't meant for me cause I'm still alive
Guess the mission wasn't finished for the spirit of I
Vibrations feeling lower than the bottom of a barrel, all my energy was feral
How the fuck could I lie?
Every little thing that I did was questioned
Why you wearing them shoes? Why you wearing a necklace?
Need to eat you some food, cause boy you look anorexic
Bitch you listen to who? Man I just wanted to exit
Smile through it all, don't let em get involved
All teeth when they come around, I could never fall
Nobody would believe me if I said I was down
Cause don't nobody trust them tears when they come from a clown
So I smile (what I do, what I do, what I do?)
So I smile (what we do, what we do, what we do?)
Nobody would believe me if I said I was down
Cause don't nobody trust them tears when they come from a clown
What I do?
What I do?
What I do?
What I do?
Smile through it everyday, I don't know no other way
Head down, get the pay
Making sure my pockets straight
Smile through it everyday, I don't know no other way
Head down, get the pay
Making sure my pockets straight
So I smile
