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 the 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 [Hook:] A crooked smile A crooked smile This crooked smile Listen I got a story for ya. When I was 17 I had a name that was far from lame and that meant everything I hit the club with my nigga Ced. ain't nothing new But on this particular night that we was coming through Niggas was on the stage, battlin' babblin', going no where I figured "Fuck it. It's a couple hoes here." I might as well sign up And climbed up the stage I went first, I kicked my verse Spit like a lion out the cage The crowd feeling my rage I aired the nigga Tossed the mic right to 'em like i dared the nigga Thought I scared the nigga DJ started the beat His heart started to beat Fast. the part of defeat The nigga verse was weak That is until he said this "You ain't So So Def, your teeth just got Jagged Edges" Damn, that was the dagger That killed my swagger I never hit that stage again I beg my mom for braces Then I had a crooked [Hook] Growing up just a young knuckle head running wild Momma youngest everybody knew I was the problem child Front teeth missing in my smile Snagga tooth nigga for a while Liftin up my pillow tooth fairy never came around damn We was po, but I ain't know Mouth open at the mirror daily Lookin', wondering how my teeth would grow They came slow and out of line I couldn't comprehend the significance at the time This crooked smile was just another sign Saying life ain't fair Some niggas had the perfect smile with the nice wave hair Oh yeah remember Brandy Loved her like candy She went with my nigga sosa I was scared to approach her That nigga had the fresh new gear J's drop. he got a fresh new pair And there I was with hand me downs Turned into the class clown, teachers couldn't stand me now Defense mechanism, lookin' for attention with this crooked smile
