Rotten In Your Smile

[Verse 1]
You shake hands, same hands hurt kids
Same mouth swear on your mama, then fib
Talk sweet, teeth hide rust and mold
You sell trust like it’s something you stole
You walk in, play victim, spin tale
Turn “no” into “yes” when they frail
You twist minds, gaslight, fake cry
Whole mask built out of practiced lies
[Chorus]
You got rot in your smile, I see it
Every “I love you” got poison beneath it (yeah)
You hunt in the dark, call it love, that’s sick
Hope the truth hit hard, hope the cuffs click quick
You got rot in your smile, I feel it
Every soft word hiding what’s indecent
You break what’s small, then act like it’s fine
Whole damn stain you can’t outrun this time (nah)
[Verse 2]
You act proud, but your past say “creep”
All those secrets that don’t let you sleep
You target the young, pick out the weak
Call it “just playing” when they freeze, can’t speak
You joke rough, test lines, then push farther
Then blame them when you cross that border
You brag low, in whispers, vile
Whole soul dirty like your search file
[Chorus]
You got rot in your smile, I see it
Every “I love you” got poison beneath it (yeah)
You hunt in the dark, call it love, that’s sick
Hope the truth hit hard, hope the cuffs click quick
You got rot in your smile, I feel it
Every soft word hiding what’s indecent
You break what’s small, then act like it’s fine
Whole damn stain you can’t outrun this time
[Bridge]
One day that mask won’t stick
One name, one post, one pic (boom)
Spotlight hit, whole act turn thin
All that harm come crawling in
You can fool some people some time
But the hurt keep receipts in their mind (yeah)
And when those voices finally rise
You gon’ drown in your own lies
[Chorus]
You got rot in your smile, I see it
Every “I love you” got poison beneath it
You hunt in the dark, call it love, that’s sick
Hope the truth hit hard, hope the cuffs click quick (hey!)
You got rot in your smile, I feel it
Every soft word hiding what’s indecent
You break what’s small, then act like it’s fine
Whole damn stain you can’t outrun this time

rap, Dark, hard-hitting boom-bap with cinematic strings and distorted 808s, male vocals. Verses punch in with close-mic, almost whispered delivery, then widen on the hook with layered, shouted ad-libs. Snare smacks, kick stays heavy in the chest; subtle choir pads creep in on the last hook for a haunted, judgment-day feel.
