Lyrics
0:01I'm on my way on my way on my way down
0:04I'm on my way on my way on my way down
0:07You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
0:09Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
0:12Look they tell me I should fix my grill cause
0:14I got money now
0:16I ain't gon' sit around and front like
0:17I ain't thought about it
0:19A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
0:21My s**t is crooked look at how far
0:23I done got without it
0:24I keep my twisted grill
0:25Just to show them kids it's real
0:27We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
0:31I got smart I got rich and I got b***hes still
0:33And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell
0:37Love yourself girl or nobody will
0:38Oh you a woman I don't know how you deal
0:41With all the pressure to look impressive
0:43And go out in heels
0:44I feel for you
0:45Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
0:48You wake up put makeup on
0:49Stare in the mirror but its clear that
0:51You can't face what's wrong
0:53No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
0:56Your roommate yelling
0:57"Why you gotta take so long"
0:59What it's like to have a crooked smile
1:00I'm on my way on my way on my way down
1:03I'm on my way on my way on my way down
1:06This crooked smile
1:06You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
1:09Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
1:12To all the women with the flaws
1:13Know it's hard my darling
1:15You wonder why you're lonely and
1:16Your man's not calling
1:17You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
1:20And when I tell you that
1:22You're beautiful you can't be sure
1:24Cause you see that no one wants you back
1:25And it got you asking
1:26So all you see is what you lacking
1:28Not what you packing
1:30Take it from a man that loves what you got
1:32And baby you're a star
1:33Don't let 'em tell you you're not
1:35Now is it real Eyebrows fingernails hair
1:38Is it real if it's not girl you don't care
1:41Cause what's real is something
1:43That the eyes can't see
1:44That the hands can't touch
1:45That them broads can't be and that's you
1:48Never let 'em see your friend
1:50And if you need a friend to pick you up
1:51I'll be around
1:52And we can ride with the windows down
1:55The music loud
1:56I can tell you ain't laughed in a while
1:58But I wanna see that crooked smile
1:59I'm on my way on my way on my way down
2:02I'm on my way on my way on my way down
2:05You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
2:08Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down
2:11Crooked smile we could style on 'em (back 'round
2:14Crooked smile we could style on 'em (back 'round
2:17You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
2:20Like the sun I know you know
2:22I found my way back 'round
2:23We only fronting like the people on the screen
2:25You know them movie stars
2:26Picture perfect beauty queens
2:28But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em
2:31Look at the nation
2:32That's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten
2:35Seem like half the race is either on probation or in jail
2:39Wonder why we inhale cause we in hell already
2:42I asked if my skin pale
2:43Would I then sell like Eminem or Adele
2:46Yo one more time for the 'Ville
2:49And f**k all of that beef s**t n***a let's make a mil
2:51Hey officer man we don't want nobody getting killed
2:54Just open up that cell let my brother out of jail
2:57I got money for the bail now well now
3:00If you asking will I tell now Hell naw
