J. COLE - Crooked Smile lyrics
rate me~~~~Chorus~~~~
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 tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I'm on my way down
~Bar Section 1~
They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
I ain't gonna 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’re worth the picture still
I got smarts, I got riches, and I got bitches still
And they all look like eyebrows, thick as hell
Love yourself girl and nobody will
Are 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
This crooked smile
~~~~Chorus~~~~
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 tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I'm on my way down
~~Bar Section 2~~
To all the women with the flaws I know it's hard my darling
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
You keep falling victims cause you're insecure
So 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 askin'
So all you see is what you lacking, not what you packing
Take it from a man that love what you got
And baby you're a star don't let them 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
What the hands can’t touch
What 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
~~~~Chorus~~~~
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 tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I'm on my way down
[HOOK]
Crooked smile got could style on 'em
Back round
Crooked smile got could style on 'em
Back round
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
~~~Bar Section 3~~~
We 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?
No one more time for the 'Ville
And fuck all of that beep shit nigger 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, I'm well now
If you asking will I tell now? Hell no
I ain’t snitching cause
Man they get them niggers 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 tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I’ll find my way down
Crooked smile got could style on 'em
Back round
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
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
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 tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I’ll find my way down
You're the one that was tryin a keep me way down
Like the sun all you know I’ll find my way down
