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 its 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
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 back 'round
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
Ohhhhhhhhhhohoh
Ohhhhhhhhhhohoh
Ohhhhhhhhhhohoh
Ohhhhhhhhhhohoh
