See a Niggah Smile.

Oh shit.

The world leaves me half-tumbled.

Shattered, shot and kicked.

Betrayed and belittled.

Fumbled left to rot in the streets named after Kings.

Though I might have dough its doesn't stretch any more.

I go to my plantation

and try to do my work.

I worked til I could see

a difference

and people would throw shit on me.

Wet shit.

Hard shit.

Shit that will knock you out.

Somehow I grew.

Somehow I flourished.

Somehow I found something new.

Still found the love that I needed.

Alas all that time I couldn't smile.

Until I found that I had my own sound.

I no longer could Frown.

I thought I would drown.

But guess what.

When I saw that niggah.

I looked at him.

I saw all he had been through.

And Bitch I wanted to Cry.

I saw him laugh 

Then I caught that niggah smile.
