Smile for Me by Kota the Friend Lyrics
[Intro]
Fear, fear, fear
[Verse 1: Kota the Friend]
Hey love, I wrote this just hopin' that you okay, love
And you ain't stressin' over a loser that give you fake love
I feel like we could've been something, but you was workin'
And I was tourin', local and foreign
But I'm back in the city, and shit, I wanna be boring
If it's with you, and we got nothin' to lose
I done been around the globe, new city, new show
No busy hallways, gotta say I miss home
Maybe I just miss you, 'cause you been on my mind for a minute
'Bout to pull up to your crib like all shit tinted
I know you work hard but I'm here when you finished
Red wine with the takeout
We grew up in the hood, but we found our way out
Makin' our mama's way proud, and
I guess I'm just feelin' like, "What's the hold up?"
And I ain't wanna rush, but woman I'm cravin' your love
And I ain't really checkin' for no one
I'm wantin' that grown love, that we both know love
That mutual feelin' we automatically show love
Healthy and strong love, that happy is home love
The weekend with the kids, let's just turn off the phones love
It's something real
Something that you wanna take to your next life
And now we really living our best life, the best life
[Chorus: Jacob Brock]
If she's something special, she's on my mental
I pray that the stars line up
Straight and narrow, she fly like sparrow
She get it how she lives, piped up
But I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
Yeah I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
[Verse 2: Kota the Friend]
We got a home out in Ford Greene
A cabin in Colorado, apartment in New Orleans
We boujee and newly wealthy, but money ain't everything
She smilin' and happy, our love is more than a wedding ring
We young black and woke, so we ain't slaves to logos
Powerful together, but could hold it down solo
Sundays in the crib, mimosas with the red
She said she wanna pain more so that's what she did
I watch her do her thing while she's smiling at the kid
I'm happy that she's happy, and she happy that I'm here
Love is everywhere
Love is you, love is me
Love is we falling like autumn leaves, we live a dream life
[Chorus: Jacob Brock]
She's something special, she's on my mental
I pray that the stars line up
Straight and narrow, she fly like sparrow
She get it how she lives, piped up
But I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
Yeah I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Jacob Brock]
If she's something special, she's on my mental
I pray that the stars line up
Straight and narrow, she fly like sparrow
She get it how she lives, piped up
But I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
Yeah I love it when she smiles for me
Smiles for me, smiles for me
Fear, fear, fear
