[Lyric] Your Smile (Soweto Tshepiso)

I seen things by the graveside where Mdubesh laid by
Caught one they wanted a phone left him there dying
Easy to say that men are trash but see you’ll never get it
The desperation and hunger that got a black man stretching
Reaching out for yours ‘cause baby gotta eat
And you flexing on my dreams with those Jays on your feet
Clean sweep we all pack the hood with little
It’s only rich and poor there’s no class in the middle
It’s not a riddle we all tryna make it out somehow
Everything’s for sale you too if you want out
Blow blow blow out your speakers and thug out
Or maybe bow out at the bottom sun down
Sun up for brighter days coming
My lady stay strolling
With no fears of men one day the day’s coming
I’m Chris Hani find me where the flowers be
Wanna get it while buzzing not when I’m six feet

Want you to keep your smile
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to be your kind
Keep your kind and keep on smiling
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to be your kind
Keep your kind and keep on smiling

To all the brave souls that once thought suicide
On some do or die
I know it seems like a pattern you won’t utilize
Remember when told this lady this time I hope you die
She didn’t die but heavy’s how I feel inside
Still ashamed ain’t changed
The hood becomes norm nigga ain’t strange
Like when a nigga leaves a baby momma
Pregnant to deal with it
And 20 years later the whole world’s feeling his
Pain when he’s running through liq’
And he’s crushing through weed
And he’s grabbing on that ass no consent put it in
Momma pro’bly lost hope but can’t let the mob kill
Her only son who be causing havoc in the Ville
I sit back and observe
How we all out of hand even the ones in the burbs
So when you postpone the healing
With hopes that the money coming
I feel you but the time is now it’s no running
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to be your kind
Keep your kind and keep on smiling

Want you to keep your smile
Want you to keep your smile
Want you to be your kind
Keep your kind and keep on smiling

If anything I’m just tryna be the greatest hope it’s not ruined
Principles in tact the style though is fluid
Paddling this hope so when you bumping my new shit
I’m tryna remind you of your doom in a true sense
I seen hopes falling floor flat
I seen girls hopelessly in love becoming door mats
I seen tears from a grown
But we gotta soldier on can’t fold like your clothes man
