Edan - Smile lyrics

I knew this brother that was almost a genius True brilliance would meet him at the zenith But in the downside my man would get depressed Negative thoughts destroyed what he did best Native creative, illmatic artist Focused all his energy and show through a sharp piece Prodigy performer, musically divine Cla**ical composer, innovative each time Gifted individual, say no more Going through the motions feeling sad on tour Scared of the fame, pressure on the brain Rhyming backstage when they introduce his name House lights go down, everybody claps f** it, the show goes on and that'll be that Smile for the camera, running down the cla**ics Close out the show climactic with backflips Thunderous applause for the audience that amazes Inside the mind, though, he's going through changes Suicidal thoughts while the audience is loving Their source of amusement, he feels disillusioned [Outro] He gives the show of his life, though he's breaking down Although you'd never know it But there's something different about him now He's painted his smile on upside down
