Lyrics:
On my way, on my way, on my way down
On my way, on my way, on my way down
You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, I know you know I found my way back 'round
[J. Cole:]
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
Though you're 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 it's 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
This crooked smile
[Chorus 1]
[J. Cole:]
To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's got you asking
So all you see is what you lacking, not what you packing
Take it from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you're a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not
Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
That the hands can't touch, that them broads can't be, and that's you
Never let 'em see you frown
And if you need a friend to pick you up, I'll be around
And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
I can tell you ain't laughed in a while, but I wanna see that crooked smile
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2 - J. Cole (TLC):]
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em (back 'round)
Crooked smile, we could style on 'em
(You're the one that was tryna keep me way down)
(But like the sun, I know you know I found my way back round...)
[J. Cole:]
We don't look nothin' like the people on the screen
You know the movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens
But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em
Look at the nation, that's a crooked smile braces couldn't even straighten
Seem like half the race is either on probation
Or in jail, wonder why we inhale
Cause we in hell already - I ask if my skin pale
Would I then sell like Eminem or Adele?
But one more time for the 'Ville
And fuck all of that beef shit, nigga let's make a mil'
Hey officer man, we don't want nobody getting killed
Just open up that cell, let my brother out of jail
I got money for the bail now, well now
If you asking will I tell now? Hey, hell naw - I ain't snitching cause
Man, they get them niggas stitches now
"
How come jcole makes great songs but hasn't earned a Grammy award.
I Idontknow they dont like conscious woke artists
amr elbashir no he just hasn't been nominated, plus he can deny if he wants to be on the spot to earn a grammy. which i'm sure he's denied
I Idontknow
because his music isn't dummied down for the crowd. thats why rapper who mumble have more fans.
I Idontknow because all people care about in rap songs ad drugs and smoke weed
In memory of Aiyana Stanley Jones

J. Cole Dedicates "Crooked Smile" Video to 7-year-old Girl Who Was Shot During A 2010 Raid in Detroit.

They really tried to cancel this man after he has been talking for so many years about issues....

This is a very underrated song. One of J Cole's best songs ever
FACTS🙌🏾💜
These are the words I wish I would have heard growing up. Makes me smile everytime I play this. My appreciation and admiration for J.Cole is beyond the moon. I keep coming back to remind myself that I'm worth it. Thank you J.Cole 💪🏻💗
You're definitely worth it. We all need to understand we matter. I'm saying that as person not a group. I matter, you matter. Keep your head up sis you winning every day.
You’re Beautiful!😍
Em&Em figure her out 🎉 bull/switch
Even Saturn 🪐 Orians belt to manifest pull it together and for once 🔂
Facts! And you are absolutely perfectly flawless exactly as you are
That's why I pushed my woman to find self love and not depend on the love I give her. She opened her heart to me after being abused her entire life and neglected by her own mother as a child. I make sure I remind her how beautiful she is. We got that healthy love that grew from pain and self growth. 3 years deep push and pull, she pulled away because she was afraid of getting hurt again but I was patient and learned to love her unconditionally not expecting the outcome to be anything or affecting my love for her. She's grown a lot, she's far from the woman she was before. The funny part is while she was broken she fixed me first with the love she gave me. I was a player, selling cocaine, partying and focused on money but something in her made me feel shame and chaos ignited within my heart. God used her to destroy my illusion and God has been using me to bring her back home to him. I'm on a level w God that I never even thought I'd be. I look at my pictures and I can't even tell who that man was. I was violent and wicked in many ways. I'm more chill than Buddha now 😂. My woman went from being timid and afraid to slowly develop character. I told her one day "I don't want u to be with me because u feel that u need to or that I am the "right choice " I want u to elevate and have all the options you want and then decide if you want me because I'm not gonna be anybody's game" life heard me because we went through a lot before we got to this point. Self love is powerful, love itself is unexplainable. Beyond rationality and can destroy anything that isn't good. Love heals so love yourself.
i hate how people say modern rappers are better than j cole he’s a legend 🔥
Lil Skies says the one who dedicated his profile to a new school rapper

RIP Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones. Aiyana Jones was a 7-year old girl. She lived in Detroit, Michigan. She wore blue clips in her hair. She had cute little braids that had colorful butterflies on them. Pink was her favorite color. She would be 19 this year. I hope that you rest peacefully, little angel.

That's a sensitive subject but she was living in a possible drug house. She was tragically caught in a crossfire.

This song is evil. j.cole is a False Prophet aka illuminati puppet representing the Dark Age aka Last Days. You can see the illuminati flash subliminal messages in this video at 3:58 representing "lucifer" being the "light bearer", they do this in a lot of today's Dark Age false prophet videos. Just exactly what does this video have to do with the song? Nothing, because "Crooked Smile" is metaphoric for being evil and crooked as in corrupt. This is the same person who threw up the all seeing eye with rihanna. He is a puppet.....
+iPromoTruth I'm so tired of people looking for symbols when the message is far more clear and powerful. Is there a banking elite that run the world? I don't know, maybe. Why do people have to tear down every little thing that hints at what they hate while missing all the good in it. Do you really think your better by constantly spreading negativity? All you who truly are trying to speak out against the "Illuminati" need to make your own videos of hope and stop infecting every video you come across with hate. Are you really any better?
+Jeremiah Tarver And I'm tired of this fake ass corny generation full of oblivious hypocrites like yourself who get mad at the Truth when it's spoken. No one is "looking" for anything, it's right there. How can you "miss all the good in it" when there IS no good in it? How can something that's bad and evil be good? You are confused. So the Truth is negative but a Lie is positive? Once again, you are truly confused. I have made videos exposing the illuminati and have opened people's eyes which they are thankful for which IS hope. The Truth is not Hate, what's Hate is trying to conceal the truth such as what you're doing right now....
+iPromoTruth Wow you're actually really smart lol. This song is simply about an officer who shot an INNOCENT 7 year old girl. I analze the name of the song to mean that he is crooked for being a drug dealer but he still has a family and he still loves for them just like everyone else, hence the smile part, so when a 7 year old girl is shot the man in the video will still feel pain regardless of whatever bad things he is involved in or whether he deserves it for being a drug dealer. J cole is not illuminati you paranoid hypocrit. You look for all these symbols when really j cole is just trying to emphasize a big problem in our country which is how much effort, time, and money law enforcement puts into the war on drugs. As you could see throughout the entire video was that this man is just trying to provide for his family and he isn't hurting anyone. The DEA was trying to prevent a crime when all they did was make things worse and kill a little girl. This is a true story, not something j cole made up because he is a "puppet"
Was a banger when it came out, still a banger to this day. What a Story - J COLE you are THE GOAT !

They do though because it literally says "feat. TLC".
Hands down.
Can't believe that this song is almost ten years old! I was in the 7th grade when this came out. Easily will be a classic rap song as it gets older.
I was 7 year old when this came out lol

This music video has a really special place in my heart because the house they filmed in was on my block and all the neighborhood kids crowded around in awe at all the lights and cameras in our little town and the cast and crew bought food for all of us and now that I’m older I feel really attached to the video given all today’s events. I hope all those cool crew members remember the group of kids who were just curious and didn’t shoo us away like some celebrities would.

taking his child away is the worst punishment he can get...
Osa4729 Mat didn't mean it as though the DEA killed his daughter as punishment. It's like life punished him by taking his daughter, like divine punishment (even though it's obvious that being involved in drugs doesn't balance out with having your innocent child slain by gunshot on her birthday). It was supposed to be an artsy statement
Mattiske I wouldn't wish that upon his worst enemy
actually that was not his daughter this was a message about another family Aiyana Stanley- Jones is not his daughter look the meaning of this song up on Google I thought the same thing as you before I looked the meaning up and he also explained the meaning in an interview
Mattiske espissally when your responsible for your child getting taken away the guilt you have to live with that's a hard burden but learn from the mistakes you make
This is a real story this happened

I'm gonna cry. The ending is a tear jerker. Who could be so cruel and shoot a little girl that was her daddy's whole world that made him smile and happy. That breaks my heart.

@@aqueenofheart6632 no bruh they were there to arrest Cole the dude was trapping did you not see him hide the weed in the shoes?
@@bigmac-1181 Okay. Thanks for the clarity.
@@aqueenofheart6632 this video was inspired by an event that happened in real life, and in reality it was swat that did go to the wrong house
@@Princetonlove34 thank you!
I like to think myself a very knowledgeable J Cole fan. My first j Cole album was 2014 Forest Hill drive. I knew of him but only from songs like Work Out so I never really listened to Cole World or Born Sinner. Anyways though ...this song and video and message are amazing and very eerily still relevant today in ways we weren't even talking about back then. Love to the film maker, the crew , musicians and J Cole💪🏾🖤
So true
J Cole keep doing what you are doing. Your music is so deep, heartfelt and inspiring. You are one of the best rappers 🙌🏾❤❤❤
If you notice at the end it’s the National anthem song being played... This song is ahead of its time....
Big facts
Ahead of its time? It was made in 2013.
What are you on lmao
Tony Ravioli so glad u caught that
Tony Ravioli I was like i cannot deal lol
Eventually every cole song is
How many of y'all know this video is based on a lil 7 year old girl being shot by cops in her sleep? Cause they went to the wrong house?
shit seriously just hit me i just watched the music video ive been listening to this for years god damn
shit aint right
i knew a couple years back .
Just look up the name at the end, aiyana Stanley jones
Karen The Kontributor no, they never got charged...dude who shot her went to trial twice and both times it ended in a mistrial.
switched it to keep this video from getting banned i’m guessing
I cried when I heard this song I was front row at your concert with Wale in Atlanta I took my son who is an up coming artist whos trying to get his break. I also met you at the meet and greet I'm from Germany I thought you spoke German you said no just born there ❤ You are a talent not to be ignored and this song live blew me away 😢 When my son question mark Mike makes a s song with you in the near future it will be a pleasure to meet you again! Blessings to your Mom, wife & Boyz 🙏
What a great video: excellent song and lyrics, and it also tells a sad story for all parties. Makes you see things from a few angles, that's its power (and it's quite unique in this regard too).
I couldn't stop thinking about this all day it's sad how the girl died on her birthday I felt emotional
I almost cried
