[Verse 1: Prop Dylan]
I'm makin' money while asleep but I'm runnin' outta sheep to count
So deep down, it's a downward spiral
The more I'm thinkin', the more I create
And I force myself to keep it up with childhood idols
Maybe not the best way to make my ends meet
And my peeps keep pretendin' they behavin' what my pen bleed
One poke in the nose to send the blow back
Rolling up some potent hoping I would toke that
But know that I'm so past, I've seen it too many times
From people in the distance to really close friends of mine
R.I.P. Rob Nick and Kristian the great died young in the place I'm from but listen
If I would give you one advice
To stop overthinkin' things that keep one up at night
Stop waitin' for a lucky strike, it's an ugly fight to live this life through a tunnel sight
[Chorus: Prop Dylan]
You gotta smile through the bullshit to weather the storm
'Cause with time comes pain and the pressure is on
Life tests us from the very second we're born
Throughout the timeline and the lesser we mourn
Some people have nothin', others have it all
Some people move on, others stumble and fall
Different walks of life, different minds in our shoes
No matter where you're from, I keep on smilin' at you
[Bridge]
You gotta smile
I smile in the booth
I smile in the booth
You gotta smile
Break down the meaning of the smile
[Verse 2: Prop Dylan]
Ever since an adolescent, kept raining on my mind
Whatchu know about depressions, I'm throwin' out the question
I'm reminiscin', stuck in a time capsule
Mind travellin' under my five panel
Instead of fightin' my battles on the frontline
I'm unsigned by choice but still doin' tough time
Plus I'm cut from a different cloth
See, I smile when it rains, feel pain when the sun shines
I soul seek and need some time alone to proceed on those cobblestone streets
I’m not at home, feeling out of place
Outta space mindstate but these waters runs deeps
Some people never had much and never complain
Some people got it all but it's never enough
Most people never have to go to memory lane to see the loved ones live
Yo, when does it change?
[Chorus: Prop Dylan]
You gotta smile through the bullshit to weather the storm
'Cause with time comes pain and the pressure is on
Life tests us from the very second we're born
Throughout the timeline and the lesser we mourn
Some people have nothin', others have it all
Some people move on, others stumble and fall
Different walks of life, different minds in our shoes
No matter where you're from, I keep on smilin' at you
[Bridge]
You gotta smile
I smile in the booth
I smile in the booth
You gotta smile
Break down the meaning of the smile
[Verse 3: Verb T]
Yeah, yeah, look
I was thinkin' to myself, are these the times I remember for the rest of my life?
Let me testify mine if you just could find time, you could follow but remember that it's just a guideline
I'm on the right side of the line between love and hate
Feelin' something great, beat my chest like a fucking ape
Stress'll make you suffer, then suffocate
Somethin' ain't right within your system if you love to hate
If you can't take the criticism, then you sit within a fickle prison
Man, I'm on a different mission
I'm tryna build a bridge between this division
If you feel the way I do, you should be sittin' with us
Sick of people judgin' with a quick opinion
Tryna make your mind up when you didn't sit and listen
Felt the pressure like never before
We gotta smile through the bullshit to weather the storm It goes
[Chorus: Prop Dylan]
You gotta smile through the bullshit to weather the storm
'Cause with time comes pain and the pressure is on
Life tests us from the very second we're born
Throughout the timeline and the lesser we mourn
Some people have nothin', others have it all
Some people move on, others stumble and fall
Different walks of life, different minds in our shoes
No matter where you're from, I keep on smilin' at you
[Outro]
You gotta smile
I smile in the booth
I smile in the booth
You gotta smile
Break down the meaning of the smile
