Smile for the Camera - KnowMads

Sittin' at the airport, waitin' on a flight

Thinkin' to myself, don’t the future look bright

Whatchu think about this?

It ain’t really that tight

Whatchu think about that?

I don’t know, it’s a-ight

Water on the wrist, buy somethin' nice

Damn yall cute, I don’t buy into the hype

Smile for the camera, pain (t) on ice

The world is a bad bitch you wanna be like

The world is a sad-boy sippin' on sprite

Livin' in a trap house, flippin' that white

Don’t tell me that’s all you could do with your life

Imma keep it real I don’t need you to like me

While we’re makin' ends meet

Had me payin' off debts

I done been around the world

And I made it back west

Talkin' ‘bout your dreams boy

Say it with yo chest

Feelin' so blessed on my way to success

Don’t be afraid to go change your address

The worlds so big can’t just stay in the nest

Keep your feet grounded, but what for?

With a bird’s eye view seein' so much more

First you gotta make it past your front door

Fall in love with the knowns and the one to explore

The feelin' in my heart, im too young to ignore

Come to terms with the fact that nothin’s for sure

So imma do me, keep writin' songs nightly

In love with myself, I don’t need you to like me

Crowd getting hype this is my anthem

Step into the limelight, smile for the camera

Walkin' off stage, just the other night

Thinkin' ‘bout the world man somethin' ain’t right

Tryna tell the kids that ain’t really what it’s like

Life ain’t a fairytale stereotype

Water on the wrist, buy somethin' nice

Damn yall cute, I don’t buy into the hype

Smile for the camera, pain on ice

The world is a bad bitch you wanna be like

The world is a sad-boy sippin' on sprite

Livin' in a trap house, flippin' that white

Don’t tell me that’s all you could do with your life

Imma keep it real I don’t need you to like me

Say what I feel for the ones just like me

See you on da ‘gram sayin' «please just like me»

Actin' like hoes, wannabe hype beasts

Yall do you, there ain’t nothin' quite like me

What could I do to make ‘em notice me?

In a world don’t give a fuck about poetry

Phones change, now we interact socially

Lotta people say they woke, now hopefully

I don’t wanna have to take drugs to go to sleep

Shouldn’t be like this, not how it’s s’posed to be

Think smaller, make a dollar, buy groceries

Say dat «life ain’t fair, so pray to rosary»

Think men wrote the books, guess I’m blasphemous

That’s just how my brain works, I didn’t ask for this

And if I ever met god I would ask him this

«Was it part of your plan to make us capitalists?»

While we struggle every day to make a bastard rich

I think the bible need to add a couple asterisks

‘Cause we destroying the planet, and baby that’s the risk

So when I smile hope the camera could snap to this

Stick to the facts, they was never that tight

Forget about your clicks and the media lights

And all that other shit you don’t need in your life

Water on the wrist, buy somethin' nice

Damn yall cute, I don’t buy into the hype

Smile for the camera, pain (t) on ice

The world is a bad bitch you wanna be like

The world is a sad-boy sippin' on sprite

Livin' in a trap house, flippin' that white

Don’t tell me that’s all you could do with your life

Imma keep it real I don’t need you to like me

Say what I feel for the ones just like me

See you on da ‘gram sayin' «please just like me»

Actin' like hoes, wannabe hype beasts

Yall do you, there ain’t nothin' quite like me

(no)
