Teeth On The Track

[Intro]
Yeah
Look
Uh
[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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)
[Chorus]
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

rap, Gritty boom-bap with modern punch, male vocals. Dry, upfront rap vocal riding a snarling, swung drum groove and menacing bass. Sparse, detuned piano stabs and distant choir chops in the background. Hooks hit with stacked doubles and ad-libs; verses stay tight and breathy. Final chorus lifts with subtle distortion, extra harmonies, and a slight tempo push in the drums.
