Crooked Smile Chords by J. Cole, Tlc

[Em] _ I'm away, [Bm] I'm away, I'm [Am] away down I'm away, I'm away, I'm [D] away down
You're [Em] the one that was trying to get [D] me way down
And like [G] the sun, know you know I'm on [C] my way down
They tell me I should fix my grill, cause [Am] I got money now
I ain't gon' sit around [G] in front like [D] I ain't thought [G] about it
A perfect smile is more appealing, [D] but it's funny [G] how
My shit is crooked, look at how far [C] I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill, just to show [Am] the kids it's real
We [G] ain't picture perfect, but we worth [D] the picture [G] still
I got smart, I got rich, and I [D] got bitches still
[G] And they all look like my [C] eyebrows, thick as hell
Love yourself girl, or nobody [C] will
Though you a woman, I don't know how you [G] deal
With [D] all the peps that'll look impressive [G] and go out in heels
I [D] feel for ya, killa [G] yourself, or find a man that'll [C] kill for ya
You wake up, put makeup on, stare in [Am] the mirror
But it's clear that you can't face what's [G] wrong
No need [D] to fix what God already put [G] his paintbrush on
Your [Em] roommate [D] yelling, why you gotta [G] take so long?
[Em] What it's like to have a crooked smile?
I'm away, I'm away, I'm [Am] already down
I'm [Em] away, I'm [Bm] away, I'm [D] already down
This crooked smile
[G] The one I want now is trying to get [D] me laid down
But like [G] the sun, no you know I'm far [C] away now
All the women with the flaws know it's hard [C] my darling
You wonder why you're lonely and [G] your man's [D] not calling
You [Em] keep falling, victim cause [D] you're insecure
And when [G] I tell you that you're beautiful, [C] you can't be sure
Cause he don't seem to want you back and [C] it's got you asking
So all you see is what [G] you lack and [D] not what you packing
[G] Take it from a man [Bm] that loves what you got
[D] Baby girl you a [G] star, don't let him tell you you're [C] not
Now is it real?
Eyebrows, [F] fingernails, hair
Is it real?
If it's [C] not girl you don't [G] care
Cause [D] what's real [Em] is something that the eyes can't see
[D] That the hands [G] can't touch, that them bras [Em] can't be
And that's you, never let him see your [C] friend
And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around
[D] And we can ride with [G] the windows down, the music [Em] loud
I [D] can tell you [G] ain't laughing or whack, but [Em] I want to see that crooked smile
I'm away, I'm away, I'm [Am] away now
[C] I'm away, I'm [G] away, I'm [D] away now
You wonder [G] why I'm never trying to keep [D] my head down
But like [G] the sun, no you know I'm far [C] away now
Crooked [G] smile with the style on [Am] em
Crooked [Cm] smile with the style on [D] em
You wonder [Em] why I'm never trying to keep my [D] head down
But like [Em] the sun, no [D] you know I'm far [C] away now
We don't look nothing like them people on the screen
You know them movie [D] stars, picture perfect beauty queens
But we got dreams and we got the right [Em] to chase em
[D] Look at the nation, that's [Em] a crooked smile
Braces [C] couldn't even straighten
Seem like half [G] the racists either [Am] on probation or in jail
Wonder why we [D] inhale, cause we inhale [Em] already
I ask if [A] my skin [G] pale, would I then sell like Eminem [C] or Adele?
Well one more time for [Em] the veil
[Am] And fuck all of that beef shit nigga, let's make a mail
[D] Hey officer man, we don't want [G] nobody getting killed
[D] Just open up that cell, let [G] my brother out of jail
I got [C] money for the bill now, and well now
If you [Am] asking, will I tell now?
[Em] Hey hell nah, I [D] ain't switching cause
Man [G] they hear them niggas stitches now
[Em] If you was [D] around, then [G] you wouldn't need a witness now
[C] How you like this crooked smile?
I'm away, I'm away, I'm [Am] away now
[Em] I'm away, I'm away, I'm [D] away now
The only [G] one that was trying to keep me [D] way down
But like the [G] sun, you know I'm from [Em] the way down
Crooked smile, we can stab on [Am] em
Crooked [Em] smile, we can stab on [D] em
The only [G] one that was trying to keep me [D] way down
