☆ 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
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
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 the 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 like
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
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
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 he don’t seem to
want you back and
it’s 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 girl 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
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
Crooked smile we could
style on ’em back ’round
Crooked smile we could
style on ’em
You’re the one that was
trying to keep me way down
Like the sun I know you know
I found my way back round
We don’t look nothing
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
But 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
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
Crooked smile we could
style on ’em
Crooked smile we could
style on ’em
You’re the one that was
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
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
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
back ’round
You’re the one that was
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
back ’round
You’re the one that was
trying to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way back ’round
