Power of a Smile

* Poems written by Shakur as ~ interpreted by other artists [Layzie Bone - reciting 'Power of a Smile' poem] The power of a gun can kill, and the power of fire can burn The power of wind can chill, and the power of mind can learn The power of anger, can raise inside until it tears you apart But the power of a smile, especially yours, can heal a frozen heart [Krayzie Bone over poem] And tomorrow, we'll wake up with the promise of a smile, smile Yes, maybe tomorrow, we'll wake up with the promise, of a smile [Wish Bone] Rest in peace.. 2Pac, Bone Thugs In His Own Words Let's go [Wish Bone] And tomorrow, morrow, morrow, and tomorrow, morrow And tomorrow, morrow, and tomorrow we [Hook - Krayzie Bone (Wish Bone)] I see the light... (and tomorrow, morrow, morrow) I can see the light... (and tomorrow, tomorrow) I see the light... (and tomorrow we) See the light that shines... (and tomorrow we) [Krayzie Bone] Well, we still looking for better days Hoping tomorrow can bring us some bigger and better things So we can escape this maze, and they give us our change in every way And maybe tomorrow, can bring us the truth And there'll be no more use, for the pain and sorrow Let's put it to use and then maybe the youth, can come and follow And we can leave all our problems in the bottle, tomorrow Maybe god'll wipe our eyes and we'll never have to cry no more Or even better, have to die no more Politicians can't tell us lies no more, he decides no more Maybe tomorrow, it can be our daylight Just might be our sunshine, sunshine.. Yesterday is filled with so much misery and drama And today it don't seem like I'm getting any further Praying tomorrow we can somehow come out of the struggle And need no more hustle, no stumblin cause we all one muscle.. Still looking for a better day, day, and a better way, way, way.. So let's hope tomorrow... can lead us to the place we tryin to be.. In heavenly harmony, in heavenly harmony! [Hook - 2X] [Wish Bone] Where there's a will there's a way, don't let it stand in your way Look 'em straight in they face, let 'em know you ain't playing no games We searching for better days, wanna live them better ways What I promise, heart is all you need to rock Be honest, succeed, just look at me! If I can do it, you can do it, we can do it, just believe, believe, believe! When I lay down, I think about some of the wrong things I done So I pray now, for God to erase some of that wrong Wipe my soul clean, to be wanted, when he calls me, when he calls me! So I can't sleep, cause I'm worried, I done did things, lord forgive me! It's a damn shame, the things we do to get it our way! Snitch on thugs, just to get it, your pay! Nowadays I act right, in the past we used to fight Where the loyalty at? Where them real street thugs? Where the thug life? Where there's a will there's a way! [Hook - 2X] [Layzie Bone] So as the hours pass by, in the event of my demise Tell my momma not to cry, these are the words of the wise Look at liberty needing glasses now that the promise been broken For the better, keep on hopin, powerful words that's spoken What I'm quotin is a G, acquired his knowledge from the streets Makaveli, 2Pac Shakur, was the rose that grew from concrete America's most complete artist, regardless, one of the hardest On a mission to make it better, with the soul of Malcom and Martin Mixed with a little Garvin, today he got us callin Our brighter star is fallen, but now before he was ballin Out of control, quick to let a nigga know what he stood for, be a friend or foe And I bring the truth in the booth cause ain't nobody gon help me This is life, it's a gamble, and I'mma scramble till my pockets wealthy Fuck what they tell me, I'm all about my biz Bitch, street biz or showbiz, I'mma make y'all know this And I'mma say this to every man, woman and child Don't you ever be afraid to smile, smile for me now And I'mma say this to every man, woman and child Don't you ever be afraid to smile... the power of a smile!
