lyrics

Verse 1: Woke up in the morning with air in my lounges/ beat in my chest like hearing the drums/ back in the Bronx right where it begun/ yup here in the slum/ compare it to none/ brand new day I can share with my son/ so the rain hey I dont really care if it come/ cause I can light up anywhere anyone/ shine so bright you would think I’m wearing the sun/ but I’m back to business/ back up in this/ back to back raps you have to witness/ cause you aint never met a rapper this sick/ and if you have can I have a ticket/ I show love fast with the quickness/ man being a hater is so ridiculous/ I dont hate anything thats the trick kid/ give thanks break bread pass the biscuits and smile/

Hook: Smile/ want to see you/ got see you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile/ got to see you smile/ I love it when you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile

Verse 2: Times is hard but I rhyme way harder/ Gotta stay strong for my son and my daughter/ go to guy when Im in the last quarter/ cause I’m a deliver no matter the order/ got a gift with the words/ forget what you heard/ listening is preferred/ was unemployed sit sitting on the curb/ now I’m self employed and I’m getting on my nerves/ but still I’m cheesing/ and believing/ and conceiving/ and achieving/ heart is beating/ and I’m breathing/ that alone is a good enough reason/ to smile and do what you got to do/ even if it seem unlogical/ something like patch adam in the hospital/ we gon rock for you and we got the truth/ so just smile

Hook: Smile/ want to see you/ got see you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile/ got to see you smile/ I love it when you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile

Verse 3: And when I’m in need of a laugh/ in need of a smile/ I think of her Dad/ and I think about how/ he was more of a man then the man I am now/ and that alone make it all really seem worth while/ wow/ I really hope they can see us now/ I really hope that when they look down/ it make them proud/ now/ cause I do it for a living no benefits now/ young lyricist trying to figure out how/ to provide and survive in a world so foul/ but right now I just really want to see you/ just really want to see you/ just really want to see you/ want to see you smile

Hook: Smile/ want to see you/ got see you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile/ got to see you smile/ I love it when you smile/ want to see you/ I just want to see you smile/ like you saw a baby in a pamper/ smile like you were posing for a camera/ smile like you got a txt from your man or your girl of and inside joke and it made you/ smile like thinking of a childhood memory/ smile like hearing your favorite melody/ smile cause I’m going out on a limb and you may never see me again so just-
