08/09/14, Smile #1 (see page 39)

[Intro]
Slipping into Darkness
For your approval
(*applause*)
Woah-h

[Verse: Caleb Giles]
Uh
Smile at the past when I see it
Sun sets first in the deep end
I ain't know I was hurt 'til the healin'
Made me a man, cursin' my feelings
Over East with the lil homies and
I was 14, rollin' with them
Kept an eye on shorty when his daddy outside, working late, gettin' more dividends
Uh, so what its hittin' for?
Livin' wrong, but we all on a mission, though
See the stars from the sidewalk, I'm missin' home
Kemo told me, "Fly, brodie get the dough"

[Bridge: Slauson Malone]
This summer's like one I've never known

[Pre-Verse: Caleb Giles]
I need what I need
I see what I see
I need what I need
I see what I need

[Verse 2: Caleb Giles]
I need what I need (Save me Lord, I was born a sinner)
Out here for the C.R.E.A.M (Boulevard been a cold December)
Heal me if I bleed (Niggas leave in the maple sprinter)
Uh, climb this mountain just to feed us (Make it right for the one within us)
Lord guide me, never leave us (Paper trail lead me straight to dinner)
Turn my enemies to debris, cuh (Tables, tables)

[Refrain: Slauson Malone]
Uh, it's alright
The sun shines
It's alright
The days come back in time
Said the days come back in time
I seen the days come back in time
I seen the days come back in time
I seen the days come back in time
I seen the days come back in time
I seen—

[Outro: Nikki Giovanni]
In my younger years, before I learned black—
I wanted to be—, be— and say—, drown in my own tears
Talkin' 'bout you
Talkin' 'bout you
Talkin'-
And scream, “b-aaaaaaby niiiiiightanddaaaaaay
(Come out, come out to show them)
(Come out, to come out, to come—)
