LI$$E, born Eric Lewis Smith, is an American rap artist.
Born in Mississippi, Eric was taken to Chicago at the tender age of 1 by his mother as she escaped his father's brutal treatment. In Chicago, young Eric learned the value of creativity and intellect while, at the same time, being seduced by the street life. After he witnessed multiple deaths on the west and south sides of Chicago in the 1990s and was arrested by local police at 8 years of age, his life was heading down the wrong path. When he was a teenager his mother sent him back to Mississippi on the Gulf Coast to live with his grandmother who eventually agreed to let his birth father take care of him.
While in the care of his father, he was subject to the same treatment as his mother. There he learned how to document his experiences in the form of poetry. That's when a girl he went to high school with told him that his poems could be delivered as rap and hip hop. Hence, his rap talent was born out of pain. Still in street life, Eric was granted the nickname Smooth because of his swagger. He was torn between chasing his dream and living the street life. Finally, when he spent his 21st birthday in prison, he decided to change and pursue his dreams under his stage name, LI$$E, which is french for Smooth.
He discovered the french term while reading books while incarcerated and even turned it into an acronym, Living In Society Struggling Everyday.

Get the LISmug. That's where the phrase comes from.
Hym "You have me trapped in a web of lies that is decorated with my own words and you are draining my lifeforce away from me."
A fucking retard "It's YOUR words that are the lies!"
Hym "No. There are things you want to hear and that is what you consider 'true' and their are things you DON'T want to hear and those are 'lies' and now you are lying by ommission and ignoring the meaning of the words that I am saying in the hopes that I will go away or die. The reason Jordan took it so hard and you didn't is because he spend his entirely life studying MEANING and he can't ignore it the way can because 'ignore' might not even be the right word. Some of you are ignoring it and some of you don't understand it but both of you have exactly 1 thing in common... You're fucking retarded. So the 2 of you have aligned against me because I'm not retarded."
