Wale - Smile Lyrics

I’m still here brother

I got my family
And I got my squad
And as long as they got me
Then I'll be just fine
So I give God the glory
'Cause I have my child
And America don't want me
That's when I realized
That we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
I said we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
Shit 'bout to be O.D.'d, yeah
But we gon' survive
That's why we all need
A reason to smile

And a possible bigot slash misogynist is 'bout to run the whole damn thing
('Bout to run the whole damn thing)
And the ballot my sister filled in
In another city didn't do a goddamn thing

Shit I'mma go crazy yeah
I'mma go crazy yeah
I'mma go crazy yeah
But I gotta do my goddamn thing

The Alt Rights hate us
Some black baby mommas hate us
We only learn half of the drama, other side crazy
On behalf of Charlamagne I'm sure he ain't trading sides
Maybe I should meet Tomi Lahren, I'll Lauryn Hill her
Train her, she miseducated anyway
Prolly hate the color of my face
I'm just a young black rapping ass African
Ain't never wanted to have it and now he has it his own way
I'm smoking purple, the law enforcement be murking brothers
The moon lit and I'm Cottonmouth like Mahershala
Its like you got a curse if your currency low
The world is a dirty fucking experiment
They don't care if its hurting us
Black lives matter, 'cause black lives target practice
Can't even imagine what would happen with no phone cameras
Black lives matter, black love the dopest ever
Just wanna remind you, I think it's time that we show it better

I got my family
And I got my squad
And as long as they got me
Then I'll be just fine
So I give God the glory
'Cause I have my child
And America don't want me
That's when I realized
That we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
I said we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
Shit 'bout to be O.D.'d, yeah
But we gon' survive
That's why we all need
A reason to smile

Giving knowledge and uplifting our brothers and daughters
Is how this whole thing change
(Is how this whole thing change)
But the power that's in the pussy or the dollar
Is enough to make us all insane

Shit I'mma go crazy yeah
I'mma go crazy yeah
I'mma go crazy yeah
But I gotta do my goddamn thing

And I've been living like I got one
A couple hundred on me, still in the gold shotgun
You do the most, stop son
Our people not exempt
They in the land of free
You in the land of free to an extent
Fuck that, I'mma ruffle some feathers
Mess with the temperature, shuffle the weather
Fuck who do ever, Keisha or Heather
Beef is whatever
Kill me, you die and I live forever
When you live without fear
It don't get much better
Naw, hmm
Look at how far that we've come
Look at the world we inspired
And look at the stars that we brung
They think that when that literal big wig starts that we done
They think because Hillary lost the cards will be Trumped
You out you mind nigga

I got my family
And I got my squad
And as long as they got me
Then I'll be just fine
So I give God the glory
'Cause I have my child
And America don't want me
That's what I realized
That we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
I said we all need, yeah
A reason to smile
Shit 'bout to be O.D.'d, yeah
But we gon' survive
That's why we all need
A reason to smile

Underrated

Trash propaganda

what are you on about?

this song is pure fire like if your lit

How can you say I give God glory in one sentence and the very next sentence you say G.D.!?!

It’s a woman singing in the background under the beat..

I’m having a hard time finding the sample being used in the background!! Help plz!

Apparently part of the sample is where you are By Michael Jackson

so slept on

Anti-Trump Lyrics: "And a possible bigot slash misogynist/ Is 'bout to run the whole damn thing/ And the ballot my sister filled in/ In another city didn't do a goddamn thing"

Dr. Alakbarov fdt

Rep africa we are proud even though they don't like africans winning

Wale is a poet and I don’t how people don’t pay attention on his work.

Only the angels the higher 👆 make me smile only only only

Dopest song on the album. Wale in his bag on this joint.

Life ain't shyt😔 4 whut it seems 2 be

This needs more views and a video....Wale did the damn thing so did Phil Ade

Jazmine Sullivan on the hook tho

Who he diss?

tomi lahren

Romy Taylor why?

these lyrics are next level retarded

idk why but I hear 2 pac do for love when i listen to this

Toyota Lasagna made 70 accounts and disliked this video.

I was here first.

startings like shake it off taylor swift

As i finish the album Wale has given me a reason to SMILE

fuck wale

People mixes an online meme. Like the atl Right. With conservatives and Republicans that historically killed them selves for black people to have equal rights. The alt right is a bunch of young kids that like making people angry. They do not even agree with what they say. I know because i know some.

Just A DMV! Phil Ade ayy

Saw Wale live and now I cant stop playing S.H.I.N.E. Like he said he did this for himself and I am lovin every moment of it.

God bless President Trump!

😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😢😢😢😢😢😢adkademiks was right flop

this my jam

The feel good '90s' laid back vibe is on point and priceless

Awww...Daddy's lil Nubian Queen Making her vocal debut. Bar after bar is so crisp & message is spot on. Stellar! - Hunnee

Check him out live in my page.

This is one of Wale's best songs

my best song of the year we all need reason to smile 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Fuck dj Akadamiks talking about flop u must b crazy,

Curtis.Campbell JM but he Loves garbage niggas Like Lil yachty though you should have seen him in that interview kissing lil yachtys ass Lol

When there's a maximum of 3 good songs on an album, it definitely is debatable as a flop. Yachty's album was trash, Akademiks feels the same way. Keep hating

This is dope. Ohio to DC 1 love.

https://soundcloud.com/user-87099587/all-they-ask-about-mix-1

"i say we all need a reason to smile"

still fire

he should of used a female on the hook

Nah He killed this Whole Song i wouldn't Change a Thing

Sir Lord Blvck i agree maybe he could a got sza like on his last album...but dope either way

RealTrill2013 that would be dope

he tried collabing with some female artist( arian, demi lovato) not sure on this song. but instead they ignored him.

Tim Xman you know what you right this song and hook grew on me

Got a 90's vibe fire

the whole album is Fire! This is by far the best song on the album

It got the " Get money, fuck bitches" // SWV or missy vibes love it 🔥🔥

The song they played on the IG Live. I fucks with this!!!
