Yeah, this somethin’ special why’know, somethin’ epic
Lloyd Banks, you know
‘Cause a nigga thuggin’ don’t mean he don’t
Don’t wanna see you smile baby
I wanna be the reason you smile
I wanna be the reason you smile
I wanna be the reason you smile
After you wipe away your tears and dry your eyes
I’m gettin’ the feelin’, you wanna take revenge
From the conversations, we have and the way it ends
You wanna discuss me in front of your lady friends
That’s why it’s just me and my Mercedes Benz
It all depends, maybe if we make amends
We can start from scratch
Learn to control your temper and remarks in fact
We plan to be platonic with our hearts in tact
So every time we separate, somebody’s marchin’ back
You’re amazing in the sack, eyes slanted like you’re Asian
But you’re black, God bless whoever gave you alla that
If you seen her from the back, you’d understand why dis feel like that
And ain’t a flaw to her toes, the Lord knows
Her pussy good enough to miss award shows
And I ain’t gotta say nothin’, she just knows
By the way I look at her to take off all her clothes up and down
Whenever I’m not around and you feelin’ down
Let the thought of me be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
I don’t wanna see you frown, like them kids watch a clown
I wanna bring you joy and be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
Baby, you know my style, you know how I get down
I provide by any means to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
We done been through ups and downs, had drama for a while
I’m just happy I’m around to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
The main reason I been lookin’ at you pitiful
What about the half of this shit I done did to you
Violated and tiptoed into a crib or two
I’ve come clean to be a bigger individual
Even though you’re busy boo, the evening’s when I visit you
Kinda makes me feel lucky, ’cause I see niggaz
When you tease ’em with your physical
She wanna rack up her brooms, I ain’t got no more room left
Wild drama, section 8 princess
My foreign chick bad, but she been stressed
‘Cause it’s hard to communicate
‘Cause she don’t speak-a no English
I been around the world from state to state
But now I’m back bustin’ in your bathroom
Got you laughin’ in your shower cap
Let’s get it on
‘Cause I’m leavin’ in a hour, fly-through
Don’t matter she’s mad, even when I holla back
All I really need your attention for a while
And, I bet you I can make you smile
Whenever I’m not around and you feelin’ down
Let the thought of me be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
I don’t wanna see you frown, like them kids watch a clown
I wanna bring you joy and be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
Baby, you know my style, you know how I get down
I provide by any means to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
We done been through ups and downs, had drama for a while
I’m just happy I’m around to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
Whenever I’m not around and you feelin’ down
Let the thought of me be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
I don’t wanna see you frown, like them kids watch a clown
I wanna bring you joy and be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
Baby, you know my style, you know how I get down
I provide by any means to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
We done been through ups and downs, had drama for a while
I’m just happy I’m around to be
(I wanna be the reason you smile)
I wanna be the reason you smile
I wanna be the reason you smile
I wanna be the reason you smile
After you wipe away your tears and dry your eyes
