Alchemist | Smile ft Maxwell and Twista
February 1st, 2009
Neo-soul king Maxwell and underground Hip Hop’s The Alchemist? Yes this unlikely pairing with Chicago’s Twista along for the ride, bring something unexpected and good to the world. The song is off The Alchemist’s upcoming album called Chemical Warfare (February 10). To be honest I was expecting a little bit more but it’s still a good track. On various other sites the song title has been incorrectly labeled as “Hide My Tears” and “My Tears” but actual song title is “Smile”.

yeah after listening to it a few more times I’m liking it more. Still I was expecting something like Method Man’s “Say”

Here’s the chorus and Alchemist’s verse.
I gotta keep moving away whether summer ,spring or fall
I gotta keep food on my plate I gotta keep plaques on the wall
I gotta keep proving I’m great I’m so sick of it all
I gotta keep a smile on my face even if i slip and I fall
I gotta have laugh for the pain if you wan to mastered the game
I was only after the props I was never after the fame
I was never after the range now I’m like a rat in a race
Always trying catch up to the chase
Feeling like I’m trapped in a maze
Nevr let them see me when I’m down
I Never let see my with a frown
Even when the game beat me to the ground
I get up and go another round
Lock it up and show another town
Break it up and roll up another pound
Change it up and go another route
Flip it and make a whole another sound
Like the way I did it Hold it Down
You know the kid will hold it down
Never knew the name you know now
Never knew the face you know now
Looking at all this paper I’m holding now
Thinking of a way to throw it now
Fuck it everyday I blow it now
Gotta to get away I know it now
Chorus:
I even smiling for me
Smiling so that you know you can’t hurt me
Smiling for something not hiding or falling
Now you know about what smiles are all about
