J. COLE lyrics : "Crooked Smile"

feat TLC

[Hook]:

I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down (x2)
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down


[Verse 1]:
Look

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 %#@! is crooked look at how far I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it's real
We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still

I got smart, I got rich, and I got (*##$es still
And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
Love yourself, girl, or nobody will

Oh, 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 its clear that you can't face what's wrong

No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
Your roommate yelling, â??Why you gotta take so long?â?
What it's like to have a crooked smile

This crooked smile

[Hook]:

I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down (x2)
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down


[Verse 2]
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 you see that no one wants you back and it 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 you're a star, don't let â??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 â??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

[Hook]:

I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down (x2)
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down


[Bridge 1: J. Cole (TLC)]
Crooked smile, we could style on â??em (back 'round)

Crooked smile, we could style on â??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..)


[Verse 3: J. Cole]
We only fronting 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 â??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?

Yo one more time for the â??Ville
And $#&@ all of that beef %#@!, ^!$$% 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 ^!$$%s stitches now

If you was around, then you wouldn't need a witness now
How you like this crooked smile?

[Hook]:
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down (x2)

You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down

[Bridge 2]
