Teeth before language Hunger before law I learned the world By how it bled I was taught by growls in the dark By cold ground and watching eyes Circles drawn in dirt and bone No mercy written in the sky Milk of fear, I drank it down Learned to listen, learned to wait Every step a measured threat Every silence held a weight You call it savage I call it truth You learned to kneel I learned to move Raised by wolves Not by hands Raised by hunger Not by plans No clean blood No safe rules I was shaped By tooth and pull Raised by wolves Hear the call I don’t beg I don’t fall Teeth bared Heart steady Still alive Always ready You wrapped your fear in pretty words Built your gods from guilt and need Fed on comfort, fed on lies Called it love, called it belief I learned the price of every sound Every stare a loaded gun You pray for peace, I stalk the ground Until the damage is undone You wait for orders I smell the shift You fear the night I live in it Raised by wolves Feral spine Every scar A warning sign No clean hands No excuses Only instincts Only bruises Raised by wolves Break the seal I don’t hope I don’t kneel Strip the skin of what you were told Strip the names Strip the leash There’s a rhythm under the fear There’s a law older than belief Pack is memory Pack is breath Pack is how we measure death Run Run Run Until the mask comes off Until the mask comes off Raised by wolves Hear me now I don’t bow Teeth before language Hunger before law Still breathing Still watching Teeth before language Hunger before law Still breathing Still watching Still breathing Still watching
