Smile Good - Jay Prince

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

Look, had to take it home with me, feeling like my vida loca

He supposed to hold you, he supposed to hold you down

Learn the ropes on my own, street smart plus me huh

Equals sweetheart, get your feet off the new linen

New killings on the nearest blocks that we livin'

Bastard telling me it’s not my fault but I’m feelin' the pressure

My feelings are numb to the stabbings are killing

They shoot for the kill what we feeding are children?

The hustle the money the bitches they love it

Let’s teach them some taxes, let’s teach them how to relax when they in a room

with the enemy

Let’s move for a century, generations I inspire it all

Don’t wanna see my people climbing the fall, damn

And I know, there’s a brighter day outside I smile good

I smile good

And I know, there’s a brighter day outside I smile good

And you know that I’m smiling good

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

Yeah the grass is always greener, what do you believe in?

Believe in love?

Believe in us?

Believe in trust?

Well I still fight for survival, a black man from the crabs of the Congo

You’ll find me amongst those, the group yeah we posted for better days, I relate

I put my faith in the people, I put my faith in the change that we are facing

Everybody’s the same, 'cause everybody needs love

And everybody needs affection, don’t you lie it’s a must

I seen it happen with my own two I was down on my trust

But what is love if you ain’t loving yourself?

How you trying to elevate if you ain’t trusting yourself?

Those are facts though, man though

Love before the bank roll, better love yourself before the cash flow

Real talk man it’s been us only

Pray to the holy, act like you know me, the same story

Progression is the message for the times

I just want everybody to make it out alive

And I know, there’s a brighter day outside I smile good

I smile good

And I know, there’s a brighter day outside I smile good

And you know that I’m smiling good

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)

And this the place to be, and my people this the place to be

(Ah yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah yeah)
