Crooked Smile

In the style of

J. Cole

Lyrics

on my way on my way
on my way down
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
i know you know
i found my way
back 'round

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 s### 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 b###### still
and they all look like my
eyebrows thick as hell

love yourself girl
or nobody will
though 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

on my way on my way
on my way down
on my way on my
way on my way down

you're the one that
was trying
to keep me way down

yo 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
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

on my way on my way on
my way down
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
i 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

we don't look
nothin' like
the people on the
screen

you know the 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 ask if my skin pale
would i then sell like
eminem or adele

but one more time
for the 'ville
and f### all of that beef
s### n#### 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
n##### stitches now

if you was around
then you
wouldn't need
a witness now

how you like this
crooked smile

on my way on my way
on my way down
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
i 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

but like the sun
i know you know
i found my way
back round

on my way on my way
on my way down
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 all
you know i found
my way back 'round
back 'round

you are the one that
was trying
to keep me way
down

but like the sun i know
you i found my
way back 'round
back 'round

you are the one
that was
trying to keep me
way down

but like the sun
i know you know
i found my way
back 'round
