When you're growing up in a small town
When you're growing up in a small town
When you're growing up in a small town
You say no one famous ever came from here
When you're growing up in a small town
and you're having a nervous breakdown
and you think that you'll never escape it
Yourself or the place that you live
Where did Picasso come from
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
I'm the part sinking below
When you're growing up in a small town
Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
People look at you funny
When you're in a small town
My father worked in construction
It's not something for which I'm suited
Oh, what is something for which you are suited ?
Getting out of here
I hate being odd in a small town
If they stare let them stare in New York City
As this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go ?
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
No adorable lisping Capote
My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him ?
I'd camp out at his front door
There is only one good thing about small town
There is only one good use for a small town
There is only one good thing about small town
You know that you want to get out
When you're growing up in a small town
You know you'll grow down in a small town
There is only one good use for a small town

[50 cent speakin]
Yeah, sumptin special you know, sumptin epic
Cause a nigga thuggin don't mean he don't wanna see you smile baby
[50 cent singin]
Woo, I wana be the reason you smile
I wanna be the reason you smileeeee
I wanna be the reason you smile
After you wipe away your tears an dry your eyes
[Verse One - Lloyd Banks]
I'm gettin the feelin you wana take revenge
From the conversations were havin an the way it ends
You wanna discuss me infront of your lady friends
That's why it's just me and my Mercedes Benz
It all depends maybe if we make amense
We can start from scratch, learn to control your temper
An remarks can back
We plan to be patonic with the hearts intact
So everytime we seperate somebodys marchin back
Your amazin in the sack
Eyes splatter like ya asian but ya black
God bless whoever gave you all of that
If you seen her from the back you'd understand why they stare like that
It ain't a thought of what's holes the lords knows
Her pussy good enough to miss award shows
An I ain't gotta say nothin she just knows
By the way I'm lookin at her to take off all her clothes
Up an down...
[Chorus - Lloyd Banks (50 cent)]
Whenever I'm not around and you're feelin down
I wanna bring you joy and be
(Be the reason you smile)
I don't wana see you frown like them kids
Watch 'em clown, I wanna bring you joy and be
(Be the reason you smile)
Baby you know my style, you know how I get down
Provide by any means to be
(Be the reason you smile)
We done been through them ups an downs
Had drama for a while, I'm just happy I'm around to be
(Be the reason you smile)
[Verse Two - Lloyd Banks]
The main reason I been lookin at you pityful
Kinda hard to have for this shit that I done did to you
Violated and took you into a crib or two
I've come clean to be a bigger individual
Even though ya visable the eve when I visit you
Kinda makes me feel lucky cause I see niggaz when ya teasin with ya physical
She wanna wreck up her womb but I ain't got no room left
My section ain't princess
My foreign chick bad but she bitchless, plus it's hard to commincate
Cause she don't speak in no english
I've been around the world state to state
But now I'm back bustin in ya bathroom
Got you laughin at ya shower cap, let's get it on
Cause I'm leavin in an hour infact it don't matter she's mad
Even when I holla back
All I really need is your attention for a little while an
I betchu I can make you smile

Tell me where oh where has summer gone
It hasn't come this year
You always cry when swallows fly
With doubts in search of dreams
He's a working man
Can't you understand
And he sweats for a mans release
But you've seen the lie
In the children's eyes
As heroes turn to tears
It's the same old scene it's always been
Men flex muscle fast
And men pull punches after hours
When the moments spell is cast
So you take your chance
At the smalltown dance
Where romances is up and gone
It's Friday night
You're another man wife
And you waltz that lie till dawn
Tell me where oh were has summer gone
It hasn't come this year
You always cry when swallows fly
They confirm your darkest fears
When a bottle strikes
Down one mans life
And his children's lives as well
The full moon pulls you
Many times
To the outer edge of hell
Tell me how
This life won't let you go
Tell me how
This same old fool

I heard a place not too far from here,
is handing out answers about why we are here
and it's a small town, in a small world,
and the congregation's small too,
but somehow I think they're telling the truth;
and in the same small town there is a girl,
she's a good looker but she's mad at the world,
and she's wonderin' about tomorrow and why she's here,
and she's sick and tired of using her sleeve to wipe her tears,
(chorus)
And you can tell by the look that's in her eyes that she's not well,
she wishes someone would close their eyes,
and picture this for just a moment to themselves;
(bridge)
At least that's what they say,
at least that's what they, that's what they say,
that's what they say,
at least that's what they say;
She sits alone, she's a re-run queen,
the sun shines through her window enough to make out her figurine;
Her neighbours look at her strange,
'cause she's lived there her whole life, and they still don't know her name;
She likes to keep to herself,
'cause she can't find nobody else;
(chorus)
(bridge)
Yeah, yeah, What they say, what they say, what they say, what they say,
and I don't care, what they say, what they say, what they say, what they say, and I
don't care;
She wanders through the town,
to find this place she's heard about,
thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong,
they greet her with a smile,
say they've been waiting for quite some while,
just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of,
And her heart opens wide,
and for the first time in her life,
she feels the touch of JESUS deep inside,
she wonders what went wrong,
in a town where nothing's going on,
and thinks of all the others that she knows;
And she said, and she said, and she said, and she said.....

And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows
Below suspicion
Cafes full of people dressed as spies
And all I know
Is guilt for being different
It's always raining stones
There's a killer in my home
In a small town
Everybody looks the same
There are unwritten rules
Unspoken words
Should I pack my fear and go?
I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow
And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows
There are unwritten rules
Unspoken words
Should I pack my fear and go?
I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow
I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow
I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow
I have to leave somehow
Before they run me out of town
I have to leave somehow
