I Got My Smile Back (feat. India.Arie)

Woah, oh

Woah, oh

Woah, oh

Woah, oh

Woah

They tried to tell us that we can't adjust

Everybody's talking culture, but it starts with us

And to be fair, I could have parked the bus

**** tearing down my wings, like it ain't hard enough

Was it beginner's luck or was it blood of Christ?

They said that it's a fluke, so then I done it twice

Me and Toby due to up the price

Thank God we never listened to your dumb advice

I gotta listen when my Shepherd speaks

Bible studies at the crib

Oh, they gon' let me preach

Tighter than the stitching on my leather seats

Heavy is the head, I haven't slept for weeks

I check the time on my Patek Phillipe

There's no time to kill, they wanna see me rest in peace

Couple man are cool, but the rest are neeks

We paid you **** homage and we kept receipts

**** walk through the door and didn't leave the key

I treat Dave the way these **** shoulda treated me

Every Hendo needs a Stevie G

I done it back to back to back I'm on my DBE

I put my phone on DND

Super necessary

**** never keep it brief

Generation, all they do is pray and tweet

Reparations, we gon' feed the streets

I still believe Jehovah's gonna free me from the shackles of my troubled past

And way before I juggled bars, a **** had to hustle hard

All I ever wanted was some kettles and a couple cars

I was at my lowest when I bought myself the double-R

The things we do to cover scars

Thirties coming but we young at heart

Tell the EDL we didn't come to march

The documentary's gotta come in parts, yeah

Finally, my eyes can see

The sun behind my rain

The colour in my pain

I may fall down

Feet, don't fail me now

'Cause through this storm

I found my smile (Yo)

I think I got my smile back

The last time I linked depression was a while back

Me and loneliness kick it from time to time

She knows the deal, that I ain't hers and she ain't mine

Me and joy got tighter, that was overdue

Paranoia doesn't shout me, but I know the truth

That **** doesn't fool me since I quit the weed

I shout my **** purpose, that's my realest G

I've told love we should build a home

I told self-doubt, "You better watch your tone

Stop shoutin' down my line, like you gon' do shit

You was my old friend, but now we on some new shit"

Me and suicidal thoughts, we haven't spoke for years

You know all my deepest secrets, you know all my fears

Pray that I don't ever see your face again

Like me and peace of mind became the best of friends

Finally, my eyes can see (My ****, hm)

The sun behind my rain

The colour in my pain

I may fall down

Feet, don't fail me now

'Cause through this storm

I found my smile

Finally, my eyes can see

The sun behind my rain

The colour in my pain

I may fall down

But feet, don't fail me now

'Cause through this storm

I found my smile
