[00:01.18] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:04.55] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[00:07.42] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[00:10.29] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[00:12.97] Look, They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
[00:15.81]
[00:16.37] I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
[00:18.43] A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
[00:22.05] My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
[00:24.67] I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it's real
[00:28.47] We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
[00:31.16] I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
[00:33.47] And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
[00:37.09] Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
[00:39.27] Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
[00:41.58] With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels
[00:44.39] I feel for you
[00:45.32] Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
[00:48.44] You wake up, put makeup on
[00:50.13] Stare in the mirror but its clear that you can’t face what’s wrong
[00:53.31] No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
[00:56.06]
[00:56.69] Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?"
[00:58.40]
[00:59.18] What it's like to have a crooked smile
[01:01.05] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:03.23] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:06.41] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[01:09.47] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[01:12.47] To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
[01:14.71] You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
[01:16.48]
[01:17.42] You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
[01:20.67]
[01:21.29] And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
[01:24.47] Cause you see that no one wants you back and it got you asking
[01:27.10] So all you see is what you lacking,
[01:29.15] not what you packing
[01:29.84] Take it from a man that loves what you got
[01:32.65] And baby you're a star,
[01:34.02] don't let 'em tell you you're not
[01:35.21] Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
[01:38.58] Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
[01:41.63] Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
[01:44.13] That the hands can’t touch,
[01:46.19] that them broads can’t be, and that’s you
[01:48.62] Never let 'em see you frown
[01:49.75] And if you need a friend to pick you up, I’ll be around
[01:52.99] And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
[01:56.30] I can tell you ain’t laughed in a while
[01:58.79] But I wanna see that crooked smile
[02:00.29] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:02.79] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[02:05.04] You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[02:08.72] Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[02:11.65] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:14.27] Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
[02:18.01] You’re the one that was trying to keep me way down.
[02:20.70] Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round
[02:23.38] We only fronting like the people on the screen
[02:25.31] You know them movie stars,
[02:26.56] picture perfect beauty queens
[02:27.69] But we got dreams and we got the right to chase ‘em
[02:31.62] Look at the nation, that’s a crooked
[02:33.55] smile braces couldn’t even straighten
[02:35.05] Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail
[02:39.29] Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already
[02:42.10] I asked if my skin pale,
[02:44.10] would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?
[02:46.66] Yo one more time for the 'Ville
[02:49.15] And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let’s make a mil
[02:52.33] Hey officer man, we don’t want nobody getting killed
[02:54.83] Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail
[02:57.70] I got money for the bail now, well now.
[03:00.88] If you asking will I tell now? Hell naw
[03:03.75] I ain’t snitching cause
[03:05.62] Man, they get them niggas stitches now
[03:07.50] If you was around,
[03:08.62] then you wouldn’t need a witness now
[03:10.49] How you like this crooked smile?
[03:11.56] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[03:13.93] I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
