J. Cole - Crooked Smile (Feat. TLC)

Even though
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way down
Look they tell me
I should fix my grill
cause I got money now
I ain't gon' sit around and front
like I ain't thought about it
A perfect smile is more
appealing but it's funny how
My shit is crooked look at
how far I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill
just to show them kids it's real
We ain't picture perfect
but we worth the picture still
I got smart I got rich
and I got bitches still
And they all look
my eyebrows thick as hell
Love yourself girl
or nobody will
Oh you a woman
I don't know how you deal
With all the pressure to
look impressive and go out in heels
I feel for you
Killing yourself
to find a man that'll kill for you
You wake up put makeup on
stare in the mirror
But it's clear that you can't face
what's wrong no need to fix
What God already put
his paint brush
on your roommate yelling
Why you gotta take so long
What it's like
to have a crooked smile
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way down
To all the women with the flaws
know it's hard my darling
You wonder why you're lonely
and your man's not calling
You keep falling victim
cause you're insecure
And when I tell you that
you're beautiful you can't be sure
Cause you see that no one wants
you back and it got you asking
So all you see is what you lacking
not what you packing
Take it from a man
that loves what you got
And baby you're a star
don't let 'em tell you you're not
Now is it real Eyebrows
fingernails hair
Is it real if it's not
girl you don't care
Cause what's real is
something that the eyes can't see
That the hands can't touch
that them broads
can't be and that's you
Never let 'em see you frown
And if you need a friend
to pick you up I'll be around
And we can ride with the windows
down the music loud
I can tell you ain't laughed
in a while but I wanna see that
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way down
Crooked smile we could style on 'em
Crooked smile we could style on 'em
You're the one that
was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun
I know you know
I found my way back round
We only fronting
like the people on the screen
You know them movie stars
picture perfect beauty queens
But we got dreams
and we got the right to chase 'em
Look at the nation
that's a crooked smile
braces couldn't even straighten
Seem like half the race
is either on probation
Or in jail wonder why we inhale
Cause we in hell already
I asked if my skin pale
Would I then sell
like Eminem or Adele
Yo one more time for the Ville
And fuck all of that beef shit
nigga let's make a mil
Hey officer man
we don't want
nobody getting killed
Just open up that cell
let my brother out of jail
I got money for the bail now well now
If you asking will I tell now
Hell naw I ain't snitching cause
Man they get them
niggas stitches now
If you was around
then you wouldn't need
a witness now
How you like this crooked smile
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way down
Crooked smile we could style on 'em
Crooked smile we could style on 'em
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way back 'round
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way back 'round
Back 'round
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
But like the sun all you know
if I'm on my way back 'round
Even though
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
I'm on my way on my way
on my way down
You're the one that was tryna
keep me way down
