Basement Teeth — MadJack

Текст песни

[Verse 1]
I came up under cracked stairs
Where the floorboard talk back
Big mouth, small frame
Still I stomp like a truck back
You front for the crowd
I see fear in your jawline
Talk tough on the net
Then you fold when the call mine

Chain on my neck, but I still move lean
Hands full of work and my boots stay clean
You want smoke? I bring ash and a bruise
Put your name in the dirt, let the whole block choose

They know my voice when it hits that cut
Cold like steel and a fist to the gut
I don't pose for the pic, I don't smile for the clout
I kick in the door then I hang around

[Pre-Chorus]
Say it again
Look at me now
You want that pressure
I bring that down
Say it again
Less with the mouth
One wrong step
And it's quiet in the house

[Chorus]
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I bite the line, I never sleep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I break your pride, I keep it deep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
You talk that talk, I make it leak
Basement teeth, basement teeth
Run your mouth, then watch me speak

[Verse 2]
I been too locked in, you been too soft
Your whole crew look borrowed, mine too cut off
I got scars on my knuckles, truth in my stare
If I step in the room, every liar aware

Concrete lungs, I breathe that dust
Old heads nod when I say I must
No fake gold shine, no rented-up flex
Just a blacked-out grin and a bag of regrets

You want war? Better write your will
I don't yell much, I let silence kill
One bar, whole block lean in close
One look from me, and the brave boys ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
Say it again
Look at me now
You want that pressure
I bring that down
Say it again
Less with the mouth
One wrong step
And it's quiet in the house

[Chorus]
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I bite the line, I never sleep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I break your pride, I keep it deep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
You talk that talk, I make it leak
Basement teeth, basement teeth
Run your mouth, then watch me speak

[Bridge]
I don't need peace
I need the edge
I need the sound
Of you losing that breath
Back to the wall
Hands to the sky
Say my name once
Then kiss it goodbye

[Chorus]
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I bite the line, I never sleep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
I break your pride, I keep it deep
Basement teeth, basement teeth
You talk that talk, I make it leak
Basement teeth, basement teeth
Run your mouth, then watch me speak
