[Chorus]
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling, lil' bitch
You don't know the kind of pain we livin' in
(Think you got a problem)
Think you got a problem, lil' bitch
Feelin' angry 'cause I'm young, black and rich
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling lil' bro
Didn't wanna see a brother grow
(I could see you)
Don't lose your faith for a check
Let the power and respect come next

[Verse 1]
They put a brother on the ground, uh
They don't wanna let me breathe, uh
I see you wanna take my life, uh, yeah
You thinkin' you protectin' me, uh, yeah
Bitch, I ain't even tryna fight, uh, yeah
You ain't grindin' up to me, uh, yeah
Shit happens on a weekday, uh
No days off on the weekend, uh
And tell me

[Chorus]
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling, lil' bitch
You don't know the kind of pain we livin' in
(Think you got a problem)
Think you got a problеm, lil' bitch
Feelin' angry 'cause I'm young, black and rich
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling lil' bro
Didn't wanna see a brother grow
(I could see you)
Don't lose your faith for a chеck
Let the power and respect come next

[Verse 2]
Ay yo, ay yo
Brown skin girl makin' me anxious
Got her brother scared, uh, she ain't even dangerous
Hips don't lie, what I'm talkin' 'bout
They keep wanna take but you the original
Brown skin girl makin' them anxious
Got 12 scared, she ain't even dangerous
The stats don't lie, the mother's gon' cry
Been runnin' the world until the day we all die

[Chorus]
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling, lil' bitch
You don't know the kind of pain we livin' in
(Think you got a problem)
Think you got a problem, lil' bitch
Feelin' angry 'cause I'm young, black and rich

I could see you smiling lil' bro
Didn't wanna see a brother grow

Don't lose your faith for a check
Let the power and respect come next

[Verse 3]
Ay yo, clap your hands, everybody
If you got what it takes
'Cause it's been our show
And I want you to know that things 'bout to change
Yo, ain't nothin' to smile about (Smile about)
So much to be cryin' about (Ay yo, ay yo)
(If you put your two hands up in the air)
(Sky is the limit I'ma show you girl, I swear)

[Chorus]
(I could see you smiling)
I could see you smiling, lil' bitch
You don't know the kind of pain we livin' in
(Think you got a problem)
Think you got a problem, lil' bitch
Feelin' angry 'cause I'm young, black and rich

I could see you smiling lil' bro
Didn't wanna see a brother grow

Don't lose your faith for a check
