[01:06.41]You're the one that was tryna keep me way down
[01:09.47]Like a sun all you know if I'm on my way down
[01:12.47]To all the women with the flaws, know it's hard my darling
[01:14.71]You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not calling
[01:16.48]
[01:17.42]You keep falling victim cause you're insecure
[01:20.67]
[01:21.29]And when I tell you that you're beautiful you can't be sure
[01:24.47]Cause you see that no one wants you back and it got you asking
[01:27.10]So all you see is what you lacking,
[01:29.15]not what you packing
[01:29.84]Take it from a man that loves what you got
[01:32.65]And baby you're a star,
[01:34.02]don't let 'em tell you you're not
[01:35.21]Now is it real? Eyebrows, fingernails, hair
[01:38.58]Is it real? if it's not, girl you don't care
[01:41.63]Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
[01:44.13]That the hands can’t touch,
[01:46.19]that them broads can’t be, and that’s you
[01:48.62]Never let 'em see you frown
[01:49.75]And if you need a friend to pick you up, I’ll be around
[01:52.99]And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud
[01:56.30]I can tell you ain’t laughed in a while
[01:58.79]But I wanna see that crooked smile
