You got the "Phony They Don't Know Me Let Me Have My Feel" smile
You got the "Real Deal For Real Real" smile

The "Crack" smile, the "Caught In The Act" smile
Delayed React" smile

The smile you're really glad to see, when it comes round
You glance back, your man who packs that, once in a while

"Oh I'm Strapped, Do Your Thing, Baby I Got Your Back" smile
Smi-ling fa-ces, some-times

Step up to the cut, "Wassup?"
I show up to blow up and leave the spot to' up
You know what? I'ma go nut

And you know what? Yeah so what?
one that perfected the
smiling face people posing as your equal
Knowin they wanna beat you defeat you and eat you
but they greet you with peace and love
Not beneath but above
Not with the beast but the dove
No grudge, til you turn your back and learn the facts
Now the cheek, give a hug, snug
The tree is only known by it's fruits
It's called learn the truth
These smiling faces, in many places, sometimes they racist
Sometimes they be your family members remember,
Sometimes they sexist, sometimes they want your Lexus
"Oh no not my lady, oh no not my fellow"
with them you thought you'd never ever sever
But they was two-faced and headless
with a whole 'nother agenda but clever to say whatever
forever, let me make this relationship better
If you're real, stay real, be real
Smi-ling fa-ces, some-times
The truth, we got to treasure, not these
Smi-ling fa-ces, show no tra-ces
Pre-tend, to be your friend (They know they phony)

Digital Underground was an alternative rap group from Oakland, California. They could also have been accurately defined as a "project" or "music family" rather than a group as their personnel steadily changed and rotated with each new album and tour. The group rose to fame in the 1990s thanks to its innovative style that blends rap, funk, and soul. Among their most notable songs are «The Humpty Dance», «Doowutchyalike» and «Same Song».
