SONG LYRICS

Crooked Smile Lyrics - J.Cole

[TLC:]

Even though I...

[Chorus 1: TLC]

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 tryna keep me way down

But like the sun, know you know I found my way back 'round

[J. Cole:]

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 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 worth the picture still

I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still

And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell

Love yourself, girl, or nobody will

Though you're 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 1]

[J. Cole:]

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 he don't seem to want you back and it's 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 girl you're a star, don't let '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 '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
