Black Tooth Grin

English lyrics

[Verse 1] Seems like I start over, smoke curling through the haze That record keeps on spinning, lost inside a daze Sticky icky in the air, Scooby-Doo on the screen Local five-one-five-zero, sangre por sangre, know what I mean Tooth for a sweet tooth, adrenaline in my veins Louisville Slugger, swinging through the weight of the days Southern Fortune Way, hard roads taught me to see Every struggle showed the harder man I had to be [Chorus] Hard times, low days, still I rise, still I stand Black sheep, black tooth grin, with my future in my hands They called me a failure, I kept climbing through it all I take the hit, I bounce back, I refuse to fall [Verse 2] Late nights, lost days, long roads behind my name I carry what I came from, I don't run from where I came Struggle is the weight that keeps my backbone strong Fast lane, black sheep, still I know where I belong Only the strong survive, every wise man learns One day every hard lesson becomes a bridge you earn Mom and Daddy said, treat others how you want to be Don't bite the hand that feeds you; keep your people close to me [Chorus] Hard times, low days, still I rise, still I stand Black sheep, black tooth grin, with my future in my hands They called me a failure, I kept climbing through it all I take the hit, I bounce back, I refuse to fall [Bridge] Throw your stones, I won't let them wreck my world I've crossed too many towns to let my flag unfurl King of this house, I protect the ones I love Strong from within, I keep pushing when it's rough [Verse 3] The home holds a heart that the hard years couldn't break Still the struggle circles, still there's more at stake But I learned to rise up, keep my head up high Write my proof in every step, let the doubters ask why Some said I was finished, some said I would fail I turned those words to fuel and put my hands back on the wheel No easy road, no promise, just the work I know Still carrying that last name everywhere I go [Final Chorus] Hard times, low days, still I rise, still I stand Black sheep, black tooth grin, with my future in my hands They called me a failure, I kept climbing through it all I take the hit, I bounce back, I refuse to fall Hard times, low days, still I rise, still I stand Black sheep, black tooth grin, I protect my own, I stand [Outro] Still I rise, still I stand Carrying my name, protecting my land
