Generate meaning
1
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
2
On my way, on my way, on my way down
3
You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
4
But like the sun know you know I found my way back round
5
They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
6
I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
7
A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
8
My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
9
I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it's real
10
We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
11
I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
12
And they all look like my eyebrows: thick as hell
13
Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
14
Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
15
With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels
16
I feel for you
17
Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
18
You wake up, put makeup on
19
Stare in the mirror but its clear that you can't face what's wrong
20
No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
21
Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?"
22
What it's like to have a crooked smile
23
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
24
On my way, on my way, on my way down
25
You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
26
But like the sun know you know I found my way back round
27
To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
28
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
29
You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
30
And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
31
'Cause he don't seem to want you back
32
And it got you asking
33
So all you see is what you lacking
34
Not what you packing
35
Take it from a man that loves what you got
36
And baby girl you're a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not
37
Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
38
Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
39
Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
40
That the hands can't touch
41
That them broads can't be, and that's you
42
Never let 'em see you frown
43
And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around
44
And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
45
I can tell you ain't laughed in a while
46
But I wanna see that crooked smile
47
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
48
On my way, on my way, on my way down
49
You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
50
But like the sun know you know I found my way back round
51
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
52
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
53
(You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
54
Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round)
55
We don't look nothing like the people on the screen
56
You know them movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens
57
But we got dreams and we got the right to chase "˜em
58
Look at the nation, that's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten
59
Seem like half the race is either on probation, or in jail
60
Wonder why we inhale, cause we in hell already
61
I asked if my skin pale, would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?
62
Yo one more time for the 'Ville
63
And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let's make a mil
64
Hey officer man, we don't want nobody getting killed
65
Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail
66
I got money for the bail now, well now
67
If you asking will I tell now? Hell naw
68
I ain't snitching cause
69
Man, they get them niggas stitches now
70
If you was around, then you wouldn't need a witness now
71
How you like this crooked smile?
72
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
73
On my way, on my way, on my way down
74
You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
75
But like the sun know you know I found my way back round
76
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
77
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
78
(You're the one that was trying to keep me way down
79
Like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round)
