Teeth On The Track

Yeah

Look

Uh

I was eating ramen in a torn hoodie

Now I’m at the table that they swore “wouldn’t”

Same friends whisper, “Bro, you sure you should’ve?”

Same ones asking for a plate when the fork goodened

Dog, I’m cut from a cloth that your block never ordered

Mama had to pray just to keep me in order

Dad wasn’t there, just a name on a border

So I learned how to talk to the pain like a lawyer

I don’t chase clout, I chase closure

Took every loss, made ‘em pay like it’s owed up

Turned every “L,” made it lean on my shoulder

Now the chip on it heavy as a boulder (yeah)

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma bite through steel

If it bleeds, I’ma hunt, that’s a signed-up deal

Been broke, been bent, but I won’t fold still

Say my name in the dark, you gon’ know it’s real (oh yeah)

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma chew my way

Through the doubt, through the drought, through the what-they-say

If I fall, I’ma crawl ‘til I stand that day

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma make you pay

I don’t really care ‘bout your tough-guy angle

All that talk crooked, but your soul stay tangled

I seen real killers that just wanted an angel

I seen choir kids that would spin you from the handle

Life ain’t fair, but the grind got grace

I was writing on my phone, couple lines, no space

While the landlord knocking, saying “Time, no grace”

So I clocked in rage, made a rhyme outta shame

Now the flow got fangs, every bar leave marks

I could carve my name in the bark of your heart

If you feel this, it’s ‘cause we from the same dark

If you hate this, it’s ‘cause truth hit the same part (facts)

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma bite through steel

If it bleeds, I’ma hunt, that’s a signed-up deal

Been broke, been bent, but I won’t fold still

Say my name in the dark, you gon’ know it’s real (woah)

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma chew my way

Through the doubt, through the drought, through the what-they-say

If I fall, I’ma crawl ‘til I stand that day

Got my teeth on the track, I’ma make you pay
