Smiling
HiRez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I found a way
To be happy everyday
If you could just see my face
Y'all would see I'm smiling

The clouds are never grey
If only there was a place
If you could just see my face
Then y'all would see I'm smiling

Gettin' high, gettin' high, boy its time to break it down
Grab a mic, kill a stage, yeah second nature now
Momma said I'd make her proud, I told her I made a vow
Just to wait around and the year I put her in a house
On a shore or on a coast of an island
And every month I'd hop on a plane and fly in
And take her shoppin' whatever she wants to buy
She made me who I am, I got the heart of a lion
Yeah, and for that momma I'm gratified
Grindin' harder than everybody so please don't act surprised
When you see me past your eyes, quickly as I'm passing by
Grindin' for us trap or die, homey I'm a mastermind
I got a smile on everyday
We got a taste of the good life and I'm here to stay
I'm used to questions so everybody ask away
Hey its time to get high homey so pass the J

If I found a way
To be happy everyday
If you could just see my face
Y'all would see I'm smiling

The clouds are never grey
If only there was a place
If you could just see my face
Then y'all would see I'm smiling

If I found a way
To be happy everyday
If you could just see my face
Y'all would see I'm smiling

The clouds are never grey
If only there was a place
If you could just see my face
Then y'all would see I'm smiling

Good vibes, good vibes is the only thing we giving off
Oh you say that you feeling it?
Haters didn't get the invite huh?
But I bet that they hearing this

Making noise off the richter
Kodak lifestyle, you better take a picture
Magazine centerfolds, nah I'm thinking bigger
Fuck the average Joe, boy you know I'm tryna differ
And so far I think I'm doin' it
Anything is possible, and boy I think I'm provin' it
People looking up to me, I'm really kinda new to this
Yeah they looking up to me, I'm really kinda new to this
I got they hands to the ceilin'
Boy its indescribable, I can't explain this feeling
My life so appealing, cause boy I'm living for right now
All you people wearing suits better pipe down, Rez

If I found a way
To be happy everyday
If you could just see my face
Y'all would see I'm smiling

The clouds are never grey
If only there was a place
If you could just see my face
Then y'all would see I'm smiling

If I found a way
To be happy everyday
If you could just see my face
Y'all would see I'm smiling

The clouds are never grey
If only there was a place




If you could just see my face
Then y'all would see I'm smiling

Imagine this:

It's 2010, friday afternoon. School's out, and you just came home
You turn on the Ps3, all your buddies are coming online. CoD Modern Warfare 2 it is
Squeaking through your headset, quickscoping in Favela. It's lit
The headset is on, an unfinished bag of cheetos and a can of Monster lie next to you
Homework remains undone all weekend, stress does not exit yet
This song plays in the background

Life's good.

Still a classic. These were the days, man. We took it all for granted. Enjoy the time you have right now. You'll look back on these days in 5 years, the same way you look back on the days from 5 years ago.
