Crooked Smile Lyrics By J Cole Featuring Tlc

    tboz chilli jennifer hudson
    even though i
    on my way on my way on my way down
    on my way on my way on my way down
    you were the one that was tryna keep me way down
    but like the sun know you know i find 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 crookedlook 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 like my eyebrows thick as hell
    love yourself girl or nobody will
    though 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 killin’ 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 cant face whats wrong
    no need to fix what god already put his paintbrush on
    your roommate yelling why you gotta take so long
    what it’s like to have a crooked smile

    even though i
    on my way on my way on my way down
    on my way on my way on my way down this crooked smile
    you were the one that was tryna keep me way down
    but like the sun know you know i find my way back round yeah

    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 askin’
    so all you see is what you lackin’ not what you packin’
    take it from a man that loves what you got
    and baby girl you 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 somethin’ that the eyes can’t see
    that the hands cant touch that them broads cant be
    and thats you never let ’em see your frown
    and if you need a friend to pick you up ill be around
    and we can ride with the windows down the music loud
    i can tell you aint laughed in a while
    but i wanna see that crooked smile

    tboz chilli jennifer hudson
    even though i
    on my way on my way on my way down
    on my way on my way on my way down
    you were the one that was tryna keep me way down
    but like the sun know you know i find my way back round

    we don’t look nothin’ like the people on the screen
    you know the movie stars picture perfect beauty queens
    but we got dreams and we got the right to chase em
    look at the nation
    thats a crooked smile braces couldnt even straighten
    seem like half the race is either on probation or in jail
    wonder why we inhale cause we in hell already
    i ask if my skin pale would i then sell like eminem or adele
    but one more time for the ‘ville
    and fuck all of that beef shit nigga lets make a mil
    hey officer man we dont want nobody gettin’ killed
    just open up that cell let my brother outta jail
    i got money for the bail now and well now
    if you askin’ will i tell nowayy hell nah
    i aint snitchin’ ’cause man they get them niggas stitches now
    if you was around then you wouldnt need a witness now
    how you like this crooked smile

    even though i
