| [00:07.170] | You're the one that was tryna keep me way down |
| [00:09.970] | Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down |
| [00:12.840] | Look – they tell me I should fix my grill cause |
| [00:14.840] | I got money now |
| [00:16.120] | I ain't gon' sit around and front like |
| [00:17.750] | I ain't thought about it |
| [00:19.120] | A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how |
| [00:21.870] | My shit is crooked look at how far |
| [00:23.680] | I done got without it |
| [00:24.980] | I keep my twisted grill |
| [00:25.920] | Just to show them kids it's real |
| [00:27.920] | We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still |
| [00:31.140] | I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still |
| [00:33.820] | And they all look my eyebrows: thick as hell |
| [00:37.000] | Love yourself, girl, or nobody will |
| [00:38.810] | Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal |
| [00:41.370] | With all the pressure to look impressive |
| [00:43.060] | And go out in heels |
| [00:44.240] | I feel for you… |
| [00:45.240] | Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you |
| [00:48.180] | You wake up, put makeup on |
| [00:49.670] | Stare in the mirror but its clear that |
| [00:51.790] | You can't face what's wrong |
| [00:53.170] | No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on |
| [00:56.220] | Your roommate yelling |
| [00:57.160] | “Why you gotta take so long?” |
| [00:59.290] | What it's like to have a crooked smile |
| [01:00.530] | I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down |
| [01:03.340] | I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down |
| [01:06.040] | This crooked smile |
| [01:06.660] | You're the one that was tryna keep me way down |
| [01:09.380] | Like a sudden all you know if I'm on my way down |
| [01:12.060] | To all the women with the flaws |
| [01:13.430] | Know it's hard my darling |
| [01:15.060] | You wonder why you're lonely and |
| [01:16.300] | Your man's not calling |
| [01:17.990] | You keep falling victim cause you're insecure |
| [01:20.860] | And when I tell you that |
| [01:22.360] | You're beautiful you can't be sure |
| [01:24.100] | Cause you see that no one wants you back |
| [01:25.980] | And it got you asking |
| [01:26.970] | So all you see is what you lacking |
| [01:28.910] | Not what you packing |
| [01:30.220] | Take it from a man that loves what you got |
| [01:33.130] | And baby you're a star |
| [01:34.500] | Don't let 'em tell you you're not |
| [01:35.930] | Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair |
| [01:39.050] | Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care |
| [01:42.110] | Cause what's real is something |
| [01:43.670] | That the eyes can't see |
| [01:45.040] | That the hands can't touch |
| [01:46.350] | That them broads can't be, and that's you |
| [01:48.970] | Never let 'em see your friend |
| [01:50.790] | And if you need a friend to pick you up |
| [01:52.540] | I'll be around |
| [01:53.480] | And we can ride with the windows down |
| [01:56.100] | The music loud |
| [01:56.720] | I can tell you ain't laughed in a while |
| [01:59.100] | But I wanna see that crooked smile |
