[Verse 1: Will Smith]
Yo, I’m a creator of sweet magic (Sweet magic)
Just wave my wand and you can grab it
It’s like abracadabra and you can have it (Have it)
No dream for me is too elaborate  (Hey)
But this ain’t all top hats and rabbits
Sometimes truth can be savage (Savage)
Sometimes life can be tragic (Tragic)
But we just love through the madness (Hey)
Through the pain, the mistakes and the sadness
Through the rain and the breaks and the static
Living in a world that attacks us

We stay centered with our hearts on axis
Preach

[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
Nobody knows more than you (Just smile, yeah, baby, just smile)
These hard times that we are living through (Just smile)
But hard times we can get over, yeah (Just smile, baby, just smile)
But hard times, we can get over, yeah (Just smile, baby, just smile)

[Verse 2: Will Smith]
The rollercoaster of being alive, high off lights when I open my eyes
Wide awake still dreaming, no dream needed, my dream girl, been girl
No past or future, present in the moment, so bad you got to be a good omen
Beautiful, you belong in the moment, they just found out, we always known it (Hey)
Oh, you fancy, huh? Oh, you priceless, despite that you antsy, huh?
Yeah, we fight some, but we end up dancing, huh?
I see you looking at me, you think I’m handsome, huh?

[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
Nobody knows more than you (Just smile, yeah, baby, just smile)
These hard times that we are living through (Just smile)
But hard times we can get over, yeah (Just smile, baby, just smile)
But hard times, we can get over, yeah (Just smile, baby, just smile)

[Bridge: Will Smith, Will Smith & Teyana Taylor]

Hard times ain’t gonna last forever
But you got a strong hood
Stand for yourself, high
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Hard times ain’t gonna last forever
But you got a strong hood
Stand for yourself, high
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
Nobody knows more than you (More than you; Just smile, yeah, baby, just smile)
These hard times that we are living through (Just smile)
But hard times we can get over, yeah (Just smile, baby, just smile)
But hard times, we can get over, yeah (It’s hard time, nah; Just smile, baby, just smile)

[Outro: Teyana Taylor]
Oh, oh
Oh
Yeah, yeah
