Adding this line to the OP where Gloria has a spoken word outro:

[Outro: Gloria Carter]
"Living in the shadow
Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live?
In the shadows people see you as happy and free
Because that's what you want them to see
Living two lives, happy, but not free
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love
The world is changing and they say it's time to be free
But you live with the fear of just being me
Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
No harm for them, no harm for me
But life is short, and it's time to be free
Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed
Smile"

Okay this is gorgeous :diane:

Honestly this line is everything and more :diane: If you've ever been in a relationship with someone or has a family member or friend who's closeted or can't come it for whatever reason, this line explains the rationale so well :diane: I'm not gonna lie, I teared up a bit.

Just a heads up. He said "she pretended so long/she's a THESBIAN" worth a edit.

On the track three, “Smile,” Jay Z duets with his mother, Gloria Carter, to host her public, musical coming out.

“Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian/ Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian,” he raps. “Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/ Society shame and the pain was too much to take.”

As the tune closes in on its fifth minute of runtime, Gloria takes over for the moving outro. Read her verses are below, in full:

Living in the shadow
Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live?
In the shadows, people see you as happy and free
Because that’s what you want them to see
Living two lives, happy, but not free
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love
The world is changing and they say it’s time to be free
But you live with the fear of just being me
Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
No harm for them, no harm for me
But life is short, and it’s time to be free
Love who you love, because life isn’t guaranteed
Smile
