Static in My Teeth

Skate deck slammed on the curb

Knuckles bleed through the tape

Teacher said "pick one lane"

I carved my name in the gate

Cheap dye burned my scalp

Buzz cut, scar on my cheek

Mom prays I learn to behave

I crank the volume and tweak

I got static in my teeth

Bite the wire, feel it leak

Rap in my throat, punk in my feet

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat

I got static in my teeth

Spit it out, it tastes like greed

Charge up, charge up, never sleep

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat (hey!)

Pit spins, elbows and sweat

Friends fly, nobody falls

Crowd surf over regret

Stage dive into the wall

Rent due, pockets all dust

Landlord barking my name

I turn the anger to rust

By screaming into the flame

I got static in my teeth

Bite the wire, feel it leak

Rap in my throat, punk in my feet

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat

I got static in my teeth

Spit it out, it tastes like greed

Charge up, charge up, never sleep

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat (woah)

Who said I gotta pick a side?

I flip the switch, I cross the lines

Ink on my hands, truth in my spit

If it feels wrong, then that’s my fit

I got static in my teeth

Bite the wire, feel it leak

Rap in my throat, punk in my feet

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat

I got static in my teeth

Spit it out, it tastes like greed

Charge up, charge up, never sleep

Hardcore heartbeat, concrete beat
