Brotha got his act together, never once been to drama class
I'm taking full course loads, I let the drama pass
To include the little beef I keep with father
Who played his son and his daughter the flea flicker
Rolling stone but not as cool as Keith Richards
But gee mister, where you going so fast
You won't even get a chance to see me g with the raps
Speaking of that, moms again complain on the horn
Say she mad cause her son won't write her name in a song
I tell her, my loves an overpopulation of sorts
It's like too many criminals encaged in a small
Container for, breaking the law, engaged in a brawl
That's just more than I can fit behind these 48 bars
So here, take this kiss to the forehead and tell your friends
That when I wrote this, I thought of you when I moved the pen
I thought of you when I moved the pen

I got a smile on my face, the sun on my side
A pocket full of friends and a cousin doing time
And everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
And all they keep telling me is, come on do it.

Smile on my face, sun on my side
Pocket full of friends, cousin doing time
Everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
All they keep telling me is, come on do it

Say they like it when I write it, they can hear a smile behind it
An orthodontist with the rhyme I suppose cause
To put a smile on yours that's what I'm writing for
Well that, and a couple pairs of Nikes of course
Either or it still do the soul something dumb nice
Two birds, one stone, (got'em), one mic
Gun shy but couldn't tell by how I creep up
On unsuspecting crowds I cock back and shoot the breeze up
Aim is marvelous, from any given distance
I'm a guaranteed sure shot to hit my target audience
Muy faults consist of a long list of things
Some of which have hindered up a long list of dreams
But, the way I see it homie, long as I sleep
I'ma wake up to one, brotha, long live the P!

I got a smile on my face, the sun on my side
A pocket full of friends and a cousin doing time
And everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
And all they keep telling me is, come on do it.

Smile on my face, sun on my side
Pocket full of friends, cousin doing time
Everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
All they keep telling me is, come on do it

Skipping work to pen a verse, man they know what I'm doing
It's Ferris Bueller's day off, the kid is sick with the music
And you should here what they say about him back at the schools
Despite a few sisters out there trying to stick him for truant
But, more importantly this is for you
I'm ducking principles and rules for yall to get in the groove
I could've been took my degree and bottled my speech
And saved the jargon for the water cooler gossip but geez
Where's the love, where's the stage and the fans
Aint a pay increase better than the wave of a hand
Or a hug or a Yo, that was a hell of a show
And running back to your crew so you could tell'em he dope
And yo (yo) yo, I just couldn't never know'
So let the flow take'em where the most of us have never been
Well plug me in and we can get there together friend
We can get there together friend

I got a smile on my face, the sun on my side
A pocket full of friends and a cousin doing time
And everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
And all they keep telling me is, come on do it.

Smile on my face, sun on my side
Pocket full of friends, cousin doing time
Everytime I come around it's love like I knew it
All they keep telling me is, come on do it
