Lyrics
[Intro — single clap, then another, then a third, then guitar slams in]
[Verse 1]
You said you wanted something real
So I showed you my teeth
Not the smile, the other ones
The ones I don't use for pictures
[Verse 2]
You said you wanted all of me
So I opened my mouth
And you saw the hunger
And you saw the south
Where I'm from, we don't hide
What we use to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
This ain't pretty, this ain't clean
This is what I really mean
[Chorus]
I got teeth, teeth
I don't just smile, I bite
I got teeth, teeth
I don't just love, I fight
You want gentle, go to church
You want honest, feel the hurt
I got teeth, teeth
And I'm showing them tonight
[Verse 3]
My ex said I was too much
Too loud, too sharp, too real
Now she's with someone soft
And I'm with someone who
Likes the taste of blood
Likes the taste of steel
[Pre-Chorus]
This ain't safe, this ain't sane
This is how I stay in the game
[Chorus]
I got teeth, teeth
I don't just smile, I bite
I got teeth, teeth
I don't just love, I fight
You want gentle, go to church
You want honest, feel the hurt
I got teeth, teeth
And I'm showing them tonight
[Bridge — breakdown, chant, stadium]
Bite down, bite down, bite down hard
Show them who you really are
Bite down, bite down, bite down hard
Show them who you really are
[Final Chorus — all out, snarling]
I GOT TEETH, TEETH
I DON'T JUST SMILE, I BITE
I GOT TEETH, TEETH
I DON'T JUST LOVE, I FIGHT
YOU WANT GENTLE, GO TO CHURCH
YOU WANT HONEST, FEEL THE HURT
I GOT TEETH, TEETH
AND I'M SHOWING THEM TONIGHT
[Outro — single clap, your voice, raw]
[clap]
Show me yours...
[silence]
