Hold up I got somethin' to say
I got a new perspective on all the things that affect us
Got that grateful disease about to make it infectious
And I be handing out love while I'm counting them blessings
Cause everybody wants it, everybody needs it
Yeah everybody complains every time that it rains
I know that shit is a pain
Everybody lives, you get just what you give

Wake up you gotta smile, world, start livin'
Don't bite the hand that's been givin'
It's your world, go take it
No doubt and no mistaking
That smile girl, it's automatic
One taste and then you gotta have it
It's your world, start livin'
One life is all we're given

Right now if only today
I got a rhythm that's flowin' like the waves in the ocean
Get up off your knees and get in the notion
I ain't playin' the cards naw, I'm mixing the potion
Everybody dies, what will you leave behind?

Wake up you gotta smile, world, start livin'
Don't bite the hand that's been givin'
It's your world, go take it
No doubt and no mistaking
That smile girl, it's automatic
One taste and then you gotta have it
It's your world, start livin'
One life is all we're given

Smile, world, start livin'
Don't bite the hand that's been givin'
It's your world, go take it
No doubt and no mistaking
That smile girl, it's automatic
One taste and then you gotta have it
It's your world, start livin'
One life is all we're given
