Crooked Smile Lyrics - Born Sinner - J. Cole

I'm 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 trying to keep me way down 

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

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 them 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 

Oh, 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 

Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you 

You wake up, put makeup on 

Stare in the mirror but its 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

I'm 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 trying to keep me way down 

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

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 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 can tell you ain't laughed in a while 

But I wanna see that crooked smile 

Photos 

I'm 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 trying to keep me way down 

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

Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round) 

Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round) 

(You're the one that was trying to keep me way down 

Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round) 

We don't look nothing like the people on the screen 

You know them movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens 

But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em 

Look at the nation, that's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten 

Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail 

Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already 

I asked if my skin pale, would I then sell like Eminem or Adele? 

Yo one more time for the 'Ville 

And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let's make a mil 

Hey officer man, we don't want nobody getting killed 

Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail 

I got money for the bail now, well now 

If you asking will I tell now? Hell naw 

I ain't snitching cause 

Man, they get them niggas stitches now 

If you was around, then you wouldn't need a witness now 

How you like this crooked smile? 

I'm 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 trying to keep me way down 

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

Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round) 

Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round) 

(You're the one that was trying to keep me way down 

Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round)
