about
This song is about people who smile. These smiles are illusions.
lyrics
"Young lady everybody smiling. They wanna see you lay not play the violin. Playing on dreams of a wanna be actress. They give you the keys and then the address. All the men in your phone are wanna be playaz. All your girlfriends wanna be haters. So you don't have no friends cause you don't wanna be jealous. "I got hundred styles". Is what the wanna be's tell us. Going many places on and under covers. Promised auditions for shows on the Warner Brothers. You don't have your own. Let alone the backs of others and your caught in a game made by the parker brothers. You put trust in shiny people who big up you. You didn't know "oh brother" they only wanna fuck you. If you only truly knew. What they really up to. You'd have a million options. Instead of just a couple."
[this verse is from the original recording of Smilin' Faces with Tunde Olaniran of the "Street EP" of Save the Music released January of 2007]
