[Verse: Ameer Vann]
I done been in trouble 'bout as long as I remember
My momma tried to help me but I hardly ever listened
So she sent me to them white schools, I learned that I was different
They told me I'm a nigga, well, now I know I am
I got my finger on the trigger, I'm a project baby
A free-lunch felon, and I'm hungry every minute
Empty stomach, weed smoke can't fill it
If you don't listen to me, I set fire to the building
Need to listen to the children and the weapons they concealing
Hear the voices of a million when I sell my first million
I am bound to go diamond, ain't no luck or surprises
I am tanning on an island
I can feel the pressure, but I see my new horizons
Me and all my niggas getting stars down on Sunset Boulevard
But niggas from the Southside with Xan bars and gunplay
Niggas on that "Someday"
If you shooting for the stars, you only headed one way
TEETH was written by Ameer Vann.
TEETH was produced by Romil Hemnani.

The the majority of names on tracks from the SATURATION trilogy are random, and reasoning for why they might have named the track one thing or another is purely speculative. BROCKHAMPTON hasn’t said anything about why the song is named TEETH.
