[00:01.36] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:04.17] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:07.17] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[00:09.97] Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
[00:12.84] Look – they tell me I should fix my grill cause
[00:14.84] I got money now
[00:16.12] I ain't gon' sit around and front like
[00:17.75] I ain't thought about it
[00:19.12] A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
[00:21.87] My shit is crooked look at how far
[00:23.68] I done got without it
[00:24.98] I keep my twisted grill
[00:25.92] Just to show them kids it's real
[00:27.92] We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
[00:31.14] I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
[00:33.82] And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
[00:37.00] Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
[00:38.81] Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
[00:41.37] With all the pressure to look impressive
[00:43.06] And go out in heels
[00:44.24] I feel for you…
[00:45.24] Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
[00:48.18] You wake up, put makeup on
[00:49.67] Stare in the mirror but its clear that
[00:51.79] You can't face what's wrong
[00:53.17] No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
[00:56.22] Your roommate yelling
[00:57.16] “Why you gotta take so long?”
[00:59.29] What it's like to have a crooked smile
[01:00.53] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:03.34] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:06.04] This crooked smile
[01:06.66] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[01:09.38] Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
[01:12.06] To all the women with the flaws
[01:13.43] Know it's hard my darling
[01:15.06] You wonder why you're lonely and
[01:16.30] Your man's not calling
[01:17.99] You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
[01:20.86] And when I tell you that
[01:22.36] You're beautiful you can't be sure
[01:24.10] Cause you see that no one wants you back
[01:25.98] And it got you asking
[01:26.97] So all you see is what you lacking
[01:28.91] Not what you packing
[01:30.22] Take it from a man that loves what you got
[01:32.53] And baby you're a star
[01:33.90] Don't let 'em tell you you're not
[01:35.33] Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
[01:38.45] Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
[01:41.51] Cause what's real is something
[01:43.07] That the eyes can't see
[01:44.44] That the hands can't touch
[01:45.75] That them broads can't be, and that's you
[01:48.37] Never let 'em see your friend
[01:50.19] And if you need a friend to pick you up
[01:51.94] I'll be around
[01:52.88] And we can ride with the windows down
[01:55.50] The music loud
[01:56.12] I can tell you ain't laughed in a while
[01:58.50] But I wanna see that crooked smile
[01:59.68] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:02.53] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:05.65] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[02:08.60] Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
[02:11.94] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:14.75] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:17.38] You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
[02:20.50] Like the sun, I know you know
[02:22.13] I found my way back 'round
[02:23.19] We only fronting like the people on the screen
[02:25.00] You know them movie stars
[02:26.50] Picture perfect beauty queens
[02:28.12] But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em
[02:31.36] Look at the nation
[02:32.48] That's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten
[02:35.39]
[02:35.95] Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail
[02:39.17] Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already
[02:42.23] I asked if my skin pale
[02:43.97] Would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?
[02:46.97] Yo one more time for the 'Ville
[02:49.03] And f**k all of that beef shit, nigga let's make a mil
[02:51.89] Hey officer man, we don't want nobody getting killed
