Lyrics -
Through the smiles, 
I know the tears are waiting.
Been dealt many trials and tribulations
face each with a smile and intimidation.
No hesitation, cause devastation 
send you on a trip with no destination.
Like a hundred hits of acid, 
passing this Mary J for elevation, 
so I guess it’s fair to say we hella faded..
Soul makes an intimidating life entertaining, smile...

Stand alone so my family can lean on me,
cause in the hard times I walk the line between a workaholic 
and living my dreams. 
Nowadays I just put my game on freeze, my work speaks for itself, 
the cuts hurt deep and its felt. 
But beneath the surface, 
I invest in hurt and pain 
it's worth it. As I work to change, 
I search my brain for a way out. 
Gotta get high cas the world's 
brought me bout as low 
as I could possibly go. 
Lack of closures the new obstacle, 
but my past exposures left me unstoppable. You lack the culture,
don’t speak on what you do not know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Let it breathe..

Through the smiles, 
I know the tears are waiting.
Been dealt many trials and tribulations,
face each with a smile and intimidation.
No hesitation, cause devastation 
send you on a trip with no destination.
Like a hundred hits of acid, 
passing this Mary J for elevation, 
so I guess it’s fair to say we hella faded..

Taking my time, and making it mine
In this life, ya gotta read all the signs,
or miss the turns altogether. When the 
thoughts dawn upon you of a better life,
gotta feed your soul till it's on the table,
and if I could make this feeling last forever..
I would tell you how I did it. It's like the 
moment you notice, you're good on
your own but we're all better together, 
the people around you are everything!
If not, your lying to yourself until the
day you look their eyes and realize
the pain you causing. All the strain, 
the heartbreak, the vain bullshit 
talks ain't worth shit now are they?
Before I depart have to say my piece, 
whether it's to the beat or in the streets,
to your face or in the sheets, you know
what you need to do. Its ingrained
in your heart it's a piece of you.
The pain that surrounds you is 
not see through, but It's not over
as long as I can still see you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah I can still see you..

Through the smiles, 
I know the tears are waiting.
Been dealt many trials and tribulations,
face each with a smile and intimidation.
No hesitation, cause devastation 
send you on a trip with no destination.
Like a hundred hits of acid, 
passing this Mary J for elevation, 
so I guess it’s fair to say we hella faded..

I can't live my life like this, bottled up 
like old school Coca-Cola with the
Cocaina, ain't got time for no non
Believers, folks will never know my life,
So devoted to the reasons why I 
choose this mic that's why I 
hold it tight, the first time I saw the
sight of mef and red, they were
Cold as ice, Got two choices
in this life you can fold or fight, 
had to roll the dice,
Stick to my own devices, 
life of a stoner but he's so polite, 
just soaking up the vibes, stay humble 
when you drop the ball and fumble,
Can't stop and crumble, 
gotta lock the hustle, 
got lots to double, 
got lots of muscle, 
Spark it up, when I drop the top,
No the sights not subtle, riding 
causing all kinds of trouble, If 
I fall today then I'll rise another.
See the signs and I saw it coming, 
The shock is sudden when them
shots are busting, but when it's said 
and done, is it all for nothing?
nah nah nah…
cant be all for nothing.. 

Through the smiles, 
I know the tears are waiting.
Been dealt many trials and tribulations,
face each with a smile and intimidation.
No hesitation, cause devastation 
send you on a trip with no destination.
Like a hundred hits of acid, 
passing this Mary J for elevation,
so I guess it’s fair to say we hella faded.

Soul makes an intimidating life entertaining, smile.
