Smilin' Lyrics

Chorus: 

You got me smilin' 

again you 

got me smilin again 

smilin' 

again you 

got me smilin', again 


Rhyme 1: 

One night of pleasure nine months of pain 

three days later and that's when you came 

two arms two legs ten fingers ten toes 

brown eyes like mom, with your grandmothers nose 

even though you're momma's baby 

and daddy's little baby 

my love is unconditional to one of us is swayze 

day or night, roll the light 

no matter what you do, 

like the Jackson 5 said I'll be there for you coz 

my life is your life and your life is mine 

to thinkin'en I'm your friend 'til the end of time 

I'll make sure you get your props 

you can call me pops 

and anything you need I'll pull it out of the stops 

even though we're not together like we used to be 

D A D D Y, you can count on me 

coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 

I take a look into your eyes and then smile again 

Chorus 

Rhyme 2: 

Forget about Batman, Superman and the Power Rangers 

coz I'ma be your hero if you ever in some danger 

this ain't the hustarone and my name ain't Cliff 

no matter how old you get you could get that ass whipped 

daddy don't take no mess 

and I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best 

when I do what I do coz you did what you did 

It's coz I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dum-ass kids 

You gosta be a leader, it's my responsiblity to teach ya 

right from wrong, and make decisions of your own 

I never said that I was perfect 

but I know that you're worth it so 

I'ma do my damnest to make sure you get some chances 

so just listen to your daddy coz he tryin to tell ya something 

and don't let nobody tell ya I don't love ya coz they frontin' 

coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 

I take a look into your eyes and then smile again 

Chorus 

Rhyme 3: 

Every day is a struggle when life is like a puzzle 

that we gotta put together 

together so and ever 

you need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on 

your daddy's home 

I'm tryin'a build a foundation on which you could stand 

when you's a grown woman and you's a grown man 

I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' hear 

when I can't be there in the flesh I be there in the spir-it 

I'm tryina make an impression on the things that you care for 

the knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids 

I know it's hard growing up coz I used to be a youngsta 

so we don't work as a team, saw the liquor take us under 

people let me tell ya about my best friends 

coz I'm down with the children all the way 'til the end 

coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then 

I take a look into their eyes and then smile again
