[00:12.970]Look, They tell me I should fix my grill cause I got money now
[00:15.810]
[00:16.370]I ain't gon' sit around and front like I ain't thought about it
[00:18.430]A perfect smile is more appealing but it's funny how
[00:22.50]My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
[00:24.670]I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it's real
[00:28.470]We ain't picture perfect but we worth the picture still
[00:31.160]I got smart, I got rich, and I got b*****s stil
[00:33.470]And they all look like my eyebrows: thick as hell
[00:37.90]Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
[00:39.270]Oh, you a woman? I don't know how you deal
[00:41.580]With all the pressure to look impressive and go out in heels
[00:44.390]I feel for you
[00:45.320]Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
[00:48.440]You wake up, put makeup on
[00:50.130]Stare in the mirror but its clear that you can’t face what’s wrong
[00:53.310]No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on
[00:56.60]
[00:56.690]Your roommate yelling, "Why you gotta take so long?"
[00:58.400]
[00:59.180]What it's like to have a crooked smile
[01:01.50]I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:03.230]I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
[01:06.410]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[01:09.470]Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[01:12.470]To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
[01:14.710]You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
[01:16.480]
[01:17.420]You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
[01:20.670]
[01:21.289]And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
[01:24.470]Cause you see that no one wants you back and it got you asking
[01:27.100]So all you see is what you lacking,
[01:29.150]not what you packing
[01:29.840]Take it from a man that loves what you got
[01:32.650]And baby you're a star,
[01:34.20]don't let 'em tell you you're not
[01:35.210]Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
[01:38.580]Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
[01:41.630]Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
[01:44.130]That the hands can’t touch,
[01:46.190]that them broads can’t be, and that’s you
[01:48.620]Never let 'em see you frown
[01:49.750]And if you need a friend to pick you up, I’ll be around
[01:52.990]And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
[01:56.300]I can tell you ain’t laughed in a while
[01:58.789]But I wanna see that crooked smile
[02:00.290]I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down
