Chorus 1
(C minoraj7) On my way, on my way, on my way (B minor7) down
(A minor7) On my way, on my way, on my way down
(E minor11) You're the one that was trying
to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
Verse 1
I found my way back
(C minoraj7) They tell me I should fix my grill
cause I got mo (B minor7) ney now
(A minor7) I ain't gon' sit around
and front like I ain't (B minor7) thought about it
(E minor11) A perfect smile is more appealing
but it's funny how
My shit is crooked look at how far
I done got without it
(C minoraj7) I keep my twisted grill,
just to show them kids (B minor7) it's real
(A minor7) We ain't picture perfect
but we worth the (B minor7) picture still
(E minor11) I got smart, I got rich, and I got bitches still
And they (D/F#) all look like my (G major) eyebrows:
(G/B) thick as hell
(C minoraj7) Love yourself, girl, or nobody will
(B minor7) Oh, you a (A minor7) woman? I don't know how you deal
With all the (B minor7) pressure to look (E minor11) impressive
and go out in heels
I feel for you
Killing yourself to find a man that'll kill for you
You (C minoraj7) wake up, put makeup on
Stare in the mir (B minor7) ror but its (A minor7) clear that you can't
face what's wrong
No need to (B minor7) fix what God al (E minor11) ready put his
paint brush on
Your roommate yelling,
"Why you gotta take so long?"

What it's like to have a
(C minoraj7) (crooked smile)
On my way, on my way, on my way (B minor7) down
(A minor7) On my way, on my way, on my way down
(E minor11) You're the one that was trying
to keep me way down
But like the sun know you know
I found my way (back)
Verse 2
To all the (C minoraj7) women with the flaws,
know it's hard my dar (B minor7) ling
You (A minor7) wonder why you're lonely
and your man's not (B minor7) calling
(E minor11) You keep falling
victim cause you're insecure
And when I tell you that you're beautiful
you can't be sure
(C minoraj7) 'Cause he don't seem to want you back
And it got (B minor7) you ask (A minor7) ing
So all you see is what you lacking
Not (B minor7) what you pack (E minor11) ing
Take it from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you're a star, (D/F#)
don't let 'em (G major) tell you you're not (G/B)
Now is it (C minoraj7) real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
Is it (A minor7) real? if it's not, girl you don't care
Cause what's (E minor11) real is something
that the eyes can't see
That the hands can't touch
That them broads can't be, and that's (C minoraj7) you
Never let 'em see you frown
(B minor7) And if you (A minor7) need a friend to pick you up,
I'll be around
(B minor7) And we can (E minor11) ride with the windows down,
the music loud
I can tell you ain't laughed in a while

to keep me way down
Like the (D/F#) sun, I know you (G major) know
I found my (G/B) way...)
Verse 3
We don't look (C minoraj7) nothing like the people
on the screen
You know (B minor7) them movie (A minor7) stars,
picture perfect beauty queens
(B minor7) But we got (E minor11) dreams
and we got the right to chase 'em
Look at the nation,

Seem like half the race

Wonder why we in (B minor7) hale,

And fuck (B minor7) all of that (A minor7) beef shit,
nigga let's make a mil
Hey (B minor7) officer man,
(E minor11) we don't want nobody getting (G/B) killed
Just open up that (E minor11) cell,

If you ask (B minor7) ing will I (A minor7) tell now? Hell naw
I ain't (B minor7) snitching cause
(E minor11) Man, they get them niggas stitches (G/B) now
If you was a (E minor11) round,

(G/B) How you like this
