[Intro] Keep it chained Keep it close Don’t poke it If you don’t know [Verse 1] Got a short fuse under my ribs Whole room shifts when that tension hits I heard “cool it down” my whole damn life But a flame ain’t wrong if you point it right I don’t want peace built off a lie Don’t call it calm while you cross that line I can stand still, I can let things slide But don’t bring that trouble to my front door tonight [Pre-Chorus] I keep it locked I keep it low Touch my people Then it starts to show [Chorus] Anger got teeth Mine bite hard Keep it on a chain till the wolves come parked at my yard Anger got teeth You can hear that bark I don’t pick fights But I’ll finish what you start I hold that heat I leash that beast Love made the lock But anger got teeth [Post-Chorus] Back off Step down Feel that bass? That’s the warning sound [Verse 2] Everybody loud when the coast is clear Everybody brave with a cheap little sneer But when it gets tight and the exits fold I’m the one still there with my hands on hold Yeah, I swing too fast, yeah, I talk too sharp Yeah, I drag old scars like a deck of cards But every bruise taught me what matters most So I turn that rage into backbone and smoke [Pre-Chorus] I keep it locked I keep it low Touch my people Then it starts to show [Chorus] Anger got teeth Mine bite hard Keep it on a chain till the wolves come parked at my yard Anger got teeth You can hear that bark I don’t pick fights But I’ll finish what you start I hold that heat I leash that beast Love made the lock But anger got teeth [Breakdown] I am not the anger I pick the swing I choose what I carry I choose what I bring I hold the fire It don’t hold me But cross that line And you’ll feel that heat [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Anger got teeth Mine bite hard Keep it on a chain till the wolves come parked at my yard Anger got teeth You can hear that bark I don’t pick fights But I’ll finish what you start I hold that heat I leash that beast Love made the lock But anger got teeth [Outro] Keep it chained Keep it close Now you know
