[Intro] (spoken, close) Keep your “good vibes.” I’ll keep my fucking teeth. [Verse 1] I learned early, be “polite” when you’re bleeding Shake hands with the snake while it’s feeding Say “all good” with a straight-ass face While my brain runs laps in a locked-in place I don’t do friends, I do distance I don’t do hope, I do persistence Every compliment feels like a leash Every “relax” makes me clench my teeth [Pre-Chorus] I’m not dramatic I’m fucking precise I don’t explode I calculate twice [Chorus] Teeth behind the smile, I’m sweet then savage I don’t forgive, I fucking manage You want peace? Don’t push my balance I got rage on a short-ass allowance Teeth behind the smile, I’m calm and cursed I don’t break down, I break you first Say my name like I’m supposed to soften Motherfucker, I don’t [Verse 2] I keep receipts in my nervous system Every small betrayal, I still fucking list ‘em I can hear the lie in the way you breathe I can feel the shift when you hide your teeth So I stay cold, stay ready Hands steady, heart heavy I don’t “heal” like a motivational clip I just learn where the blade will slip [Pre-Chorus] I’m not unstable I’m under attack If you want “nice” Get the fuck back [Chorus] Teeth behind the smile, I’m sweet then savage I don’t forgive, I fucking manage You want peace? Don’t push my balance I got rage on a short-ass allowance Teeth behind the smile, I’m calm and cursed I don’t break down, I break you first Say my name like I’m supposed to soften Motherfucker, I don’t [Bridge] (whisper, venom) I tried the “bigger person” shit It felt like dying quietly So here’s the new rule: Touch the wound, lose the fucking hand [Breakdown] (shouted, stomp) CUT IT OUT (backing: CUT IT OUT) SHUT IT DOWN (backing: SHUT IT DOWN) ONE MORE WORD AND I’M IN YOUR FUCKING WALLS (backing: IN YOUR WALLS) [Breakdown 2] (chanted) I don’t “talk it out” I drag it out I don’t “let it go” I let it rot I don’t “move on” I move THROUGH And if you’re in the way I move YOU [Final Chorus] Teeth behind the smile, I’m sweet then savage I don’t forgive, I fucking manage You want peace? Don’t push my balance I got rage on a short-ass allowance Teeth behind the smile, I’m calm and cursed I don’t break down, I break you first Say my name like I’m supposed to soften Motherfucker, I don’t [Outro] (spoken) Smile for the camera. Bite for the truth.
