SMILE - Starlito, Robin Raynelle

Well son, I’ll tell you

All the time I’s been turning corners and sometimes going in the dark where

there ain’t been no light

So boy, don’t you turn back

Don’t you fall now

It’s been awhile since I seen you smile

Just want you to know I’m still proud

Don’t care how nobody else feels about you

Slow down, I can’t lose you

You’re all I got, you’re my only child

I kinda want a baby, really don’t know why

When I still drive my mama crazy

Really there’s no such thing as perfect timing without no patience

Really need to be somebody patient, I ain’t slept since graduation

You don’t know my situation

Man I don’t know what I’m facing and I hate it

They say congratulations but they really mad I made it

I just don’t hesitate, man they wasn’t really aggravated

And I know feelings don’t matter but I been feeling madder lately

You don’t get it homie, I just don’t wanna disappoint that lady

At this point it’s too late, they have my picture on front of the paper again

And guess what, she forgave me again

And then told me keep my distance from those who ain’t really my friends

It’s been awhile since I seen you smile

Just want you to know I’m still proud

Don’t care how nobody else feels about you

Slow down, I can’t lose you

You’re all I got, you’re my only child

Never hesitate to call home

No matter what you’re going through

'cause nothing in all creation

Can separate my love from you

Even as the world tries to take you down

Remember that you’re special to me

Remember you’re my everything

Remember when it was just you and me

It’s been a minute since I shed a tear

You taught me to never fear

John Madden, Michael Jordans, you bought me them every year

Told me to be my own man, and you said it clear

Life ain’t been no crystal stair, I’m here through the consistent prayer

Wish I wasn’t so good at holding grudges, ma you know I love you

Imagine how cold it’d make your heart to have you heat to go in public

Granny think I’m a perfect angel, even though I’m thuggin'

Face all on the news, ain’t nothing changed

Y’all answer when no one doesn’t

Don’t know how you haven’t given up on me, I forever owe you

Since I don’t know when we’ll go I want to let you know

Ever since I can remember, you been heroic

I love you, gotta get better at showin' it

'Cause lately I been stoic

It’s been awhile since I seen you smile

Just want you to know I’m still proud

Don’t care how nobody else feels about you

Slow down, I can’t lose you

You’re all I got, you’re my only child

It’s been awhile since I seen you smile

Just want you to know I’m still proud

Don’t care how nobody else feels about you

Slow down, I can’t lose you

You’re all I got, you’re my only child

I know it’s been a while

Ooh, and I don’t care, yeah, oh yeah
