[00:01.180] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:04.550] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:07.420] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[00:10.290] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[00:12.970] Look, They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
[00:15.810]
[00:16.370] I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
[00:18.430] A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
[00:22.50] My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
[00:24.670] I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it's real
[00:28.470] We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
[00:31.160] I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
[00:33.470] And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
[00:37.90] Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
[00:39.270] Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
[00:41.580] With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels
[00:44.390] I feel for you
[00:45.320] Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
[00:48.440] You wake up, put makeup on
[00:50.130] Stare in the mirror but its clear that you can’t face what’s wrong
[00:53.310] No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
[00:56.60]
[00:56.690] Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?"
[00:58.400]
[00:59.180] What it's like to have a crooked smile
[01:01.50] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:03.230] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:06.410] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[01:09.470] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[01:12.470] To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
[01:14.710] You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
[01:16.480]
[01:17.420] You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
[01:20.670]
[01:21.289] And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
[01:24.470] Cause you see that no one wants you back and it got you asking
[01:27.100] So all you see is what you lacking,
[01:29.150] not what you packing
[01:29.840] Take it from a man that loves what you got
[01:32.650] And baby you're a star,
[01:34.20] don't let 'em tell you you're not
[01:35.210] Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
[01:38.580] Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
[01:41.630] Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
[01:44.130] That the hands can’t touch,
[01:46.190] that them broads can’t be, and that’s you
[01:48.620] Never let 'em see you frown
[01:49.750] And if you need a friend to pick you up, I’ll be around
[01:52.990] And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
[01:56.300] I can tell you ain’t laughed in a while
[01:58.789] But I wanna see that crooked smile
[02:00.290] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:02.790] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:05.40] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[02:08.720] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[02:11.650] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:14.270] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:18.10] You’re the one that was trying to keep me way down.
[02:20.700] Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round
[02:23.380] We only fronting like the people on the screen
[02:25.310] You know them movie stars,
[02:26.560] picture perfect beauty queens
[02:27.690] But we got dreams and we got the right to chase ‘em
[02:31.620] Look at the nation, that’s a crooked
[02:33.550] smile braces couldn’t even straighten
[02:35.50] Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail
[02:39.290] Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already
[02:42.100] I asked if my skin pale,
[02:44.100] would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?
[02:46.660] Yo one more time for the 'Ville
[02:49.150] And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let’s make a mil
[02:52.329] Hey officer man, we don’t want nobody getting killed
[02:54.829] Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail
[02:57.700] I got money for the bail now, well now.
[03:00.880] If you asking will I tell now? Hell naw
[03:03.750] I ain’t snitching cause
[03:05.620] Man, they get them niggas stitches now
[03:07.500] If you was around,
[03:08.620] then you wouldn’t need a witness now
[03:10.490] How you like this crooked smile?
[03:11.560] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[03:13.930] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
