Smiling is good for the soul
Pain is a good teacher
Keep your head above the water
Laughter is the best medicine
Going through the motions
Missteps and mishaps
I'm always awake
Ain't got time for no nap
Awaykinn is coming to town
About to be on the map
If we're talking work ethic
I go the extra lap
I still think it's crazy
I'm on this mic to rap
Never been a real gangster
But relate to the trap
At work when I was OPS
Inspections happened asap
Life is a wrestling match
Don't let it make you tap
Sometimes it can take you down
Make you wanna snap
It can be real spicy
Like buffalo chicken wrap
For the ones who struggle
I wanna bridge the gap
Help them through life
So they don't have to scrap
Smiling is good for the soul
It takes more muscles to frown
Pain is a good teacher
But don't let it get you down
Keep your head above the water
Stay afloat, don't drown
Why spend time casting hate
When there's love to go around
Laughter is the best medicine
I'll take that drug all day
I'll be making music
Even when I'm old and gray
On stage, it's the first four letters
Of my last name preceded by the word "away"
I'm all about forgiveness
But it's hard to forget
I try not to get stuck
And focus on my regrets
Deep down, I'm a nice guy
But don't respond well to threats
Take your best shot at me
You ain't see nothin' yet
I grew up in the 2000s
When CDs replaced cassettes
My senior pic in high school
Was on grandpa's red corvette
I don't wanna be broke
And rack up a whole lotta debt
Or be mentally broken
And get caught in a net
Life is too short
To always be upset
They say a good day's work
Comes with the blood and the sweat
You gotta make some goals
You know you can get
Then your confidence will soar
Like the speed of a jet
Smiling is good for the soul
It takes more muscles to frown
Pain is a good teacher
But don't let it get you down
Keep your head above the water
Stay afloat, don't drown
Why spend time casting hate
When there's love to go around
Laughter is the best medicine
I'll take that drug all day
I'll be making music
Even when I'm old and gray
On stage, it's the first four letters
Of my last name preceded by the word "away"
Yeh, dawg
I'm here to stay
