Smile For The Blade - Grieves

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s watching

Everybody always got something to say

They wanna pick you into pieces

Lie, make you believe this

Limit you from succeeding

And take away your faith

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s talking

Everybody always got something to say

So no matter what it is

No matter what you do

There will always be a person trying to take it away

I’ve heard that I don’t know the words that come out of my songs

Like I was gone when I wrote it

And didn’t see the pen inside of my palms

Are you kidding

I understand that you have an opinion

But it’s ludicrous to think that I’d simulate what I’m living

And it’s pointless

Cause I’m not a person of arms

With the whole world screaming and ready to bring it on

No point

Cause I don’t see the contest in art

I only embarked in this so I could depart and free parts of mind

And what did I find

Grown ass men acting like bitches fighting all of the time

God damn I’m sick of all this tryin'

To turn around and see a mouth full of nails

Hunting me, faking a smile

And I hate it

Cause I’m a fan of truth

And you motherfuckers lie to get by in this game full of fools

And it’s useless

So you can chastise and blame me

But no matter what, you will never change me

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s watching

Everybody always got something to say

They wanna pick you into pieces

Lie, make you believe this

Limit you from succeeding

And take away your faith

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s talking

Everybody always got something to say

So no matter what it is

No matter what you do

There will always be a person trying to take it away

And everyone’s an expert

When it comes down to my life

And speak like they knew me before I got in the limelight

And what the hell does that really mean

I busted ass to get these broken-hearted love poems printed up and seen

And I liked it

So why you bringing me down

You either trying to help me or bury me in the ground

As of lately

I’m feeling a little drowned in the negativity

Surrounding me making a sound

And you hate me for it

You gotta be out your mind

Thinking I would give a damn about the flaws that you find

Cause I’m human

And never had a problem with that

It’s a shame that you think I would stop

Cause of that, say never

This is just a way to behold

The best way to gather around the flame — in the cold

So you can go ahead and chastise and blame me

But no matter what you will never change me

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s watching

Everybody always got something to say

They wanna pick you into pieces

Lie, make you believe this

Limit you from succeeding

And take away your faith

Smile for the blade

Everybody’s talking

Everybody always got something to say

So no matter what it is

No matter what you do

There will always be a person trying to take it away
