[00:01.07]Even though I, on my way, on my way, on my way down

[00:04.06]On my way, on my way, on my way down

[00:06.73]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down

[00:09.78]Like the sun, oh you know if I'm on my way back ground (Even though I)

[00:12.01]J.Cole:

[00:12.99]They tell me I should fix my grill 'cause I got money now

[00:16.04]I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it

[00:18.80]A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how

[00:21.60]my **** is crooked, look at how far I'd go without it

[00:24.77]I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it's real

[00:27.71]We ain't picture-perfect but we worth the picture still

[00:30.71]I got smart, I got rich and I got ******* still

[00:33.73]And they all look like my eyebrows, thick as hell

[00:36.68]Love yourself girl, or nobody will

[00:38.98]Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal

[00:41.25]With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels

[00:44.16]I feel for ya, killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for ya

[00:47.85]You wake up, put makeup on, staring the mirror

[00:50.74]But it's clear that you can't face what's wrong

[00:53.02]No need to fix what God already put His paint brush on

[00:55.90]Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?"

[00:58.65]What it's like to have a crooked smile...

[01:00.01]TLC/J.Cole:

[01:00.43]Even though I, on my way, on my way, on my way down

[01:03.42]On my way, on my way, on my way down (It's crooked smile)

[01:06.40]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down

[01:09.24]Like the sun, oh you know if I'm on my way back ground

[01:11.01]J.Cole:

[01:11.65]Yeah, to all the women with the flaws, know it's hard, my darling

[01:14.91]You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling

[01:17.86]You keep falling victim 'cause you're insecure

[01:21.02]And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure

[01:24.09]'cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you asking

[01:27.08]So all you see is what you lacking, not what you packing

[01:30.09]Take it from a man that loves what you got

[01:32.20]And baby girl you a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not

[01:35.04]Now was it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair

[01:38.14]Is it real? If it's not, girl you don't care

[01:41.20]'cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see,

[01:44.10]That the hands can't touch, that the broads can't be,

[01:47.04]And that's you

[01:48.41]Never let 'em see you frown

[01:49.92]And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around

[01:52.85]And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud

[01:55.84]I can tell you ain't laughed in a while

[01:58.21]But I wanna see that crooked smile

[01:59.01]TLC/J.Cole:

[01:59.72]Even though I, on my way, on my way, on my way down

[02:02.38]On my way, on my way, on my way down

[02:05.53]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down

[02:08.47]Like the sun, oh you know if I'm on my way back ground

[02:11.51](Crooked, crooked, you got that) Crooked smile, we can style on 'em (Back ground)

[02:14.42]Crooked smile, we can style on 'em

[02:17.32]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down

[02:19.96]Like the sun, oh you know if I'm on my way back ground

[02:22.01]J.Cole:

[02:22.86]We'll look nothing like the people on the screen

[02:25.03]You know, the movie stars, picture-perfect beauty queens

[02:27.91]But we got dreams, and we got the right to chase 'em

[02:30.95]Look at the nation, that's a crooked smile

[02:33.21]Braces couldn't even straighten

[02:35.09]Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail

[02:39.17]Wonder why we inhale, 'cause we in hell already

[02:42.21]I ask if my skin pale, would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?

[02:46.33]"Yo" one more time for the 'ville

[02:48.68]And **** all of that beef ****, ***** let's make a mil'

[02:51.64]Hey officer, man, we don't want nobody getting killed

[02:54.59]Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail

[02:57.67](Even though) I got money for the bail now, well now

[03:00.38]If you asking will I tell now, hell nah

[03:03.39]I ain't snitching 'cause

[03:05.03]Man they get 'em ****** stitches now

[03:06.64]If you was around, then you wouldn't need a witness now

[03:09.61]How you like this crooked smile?

[03:10.01]TLC/J.Cole:

[03:10.94]Even though I, on my way, on my way, on my way down

[03:13.75]On my way, on my way, on my way down (That crooked smile)
