teeth
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days I feel like im lazy
Some days i feel like
I made it, look what this
Rap shit had made me, i know that
Some niggas shade me, im praying
For that as of lately, pressing my
Foot on the pavement, she looking
Like that ain't my baby, face
Is just full of amazement
Some days man I feel like the
Greatest, some days man i feel
Like i ain't shit, i scribble my
Name on the painting, entitle
Myself to the pain, it's the tidal repel
From the rain, Michael a helluva
Name, Michael an angel inside, i
Guess he fell for the fame, I guess he is
Selfish again, I put my health in this pen
I put a cell in
My brain, I put my self on the page
I take my wealth to this grave, I take
This L to the face, i don't take
L's I'm a great, that is not up for debate
I left some
Crumbs on your plate, niggas is starving
They front like they ate
Slept on the floor where that comforter
Laid, resting my stomach would ache
I just been running days, I
Just been running for days
I fell inlove with today

Looking from the outside in
At the hands and the mouth
I sin, I ain't leave the house in a year
Just a man on the couch right here
Every sound that I hear
Rebound from my fears, and
Astounded I stare, 40 ounce of the beer, and
My allowance is shared, by the ones I allow
To be near, e, over these hours repair, my
Health, my life and fatigue, myself I lie
To my needs, slime on my teeth, wake up in
The morning just complying to breath
Another man in




This earth who am I trying to be
Im the only one who's lying to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Teeth" by Mike delve into the artist's inner thoughts and struggles, capturing his complex emotions and self-perception.


In the first paragraph, Mike reflects on his fluctuating mindset. He acknowledges that there are days when he feels lazy and unmotivated, while on other days, he feels proud of his accomplishments in rap music. Despite the shade he receives from some people, he prays for their acceptance and continues to work hard. The mention of a woman who may not be the mother of his child shows his uncertainty and the amazement he feels in such a situation.


The second paragraph portrays Mike's internal conflict between feeling like the greatest and feeling inadequate. He scribbles his name on the painting, claiming ownership and entitlement to the pain and struggle he has experienced. The reference to his name, Michael, being both an angel and associated with fame, suggests his conflicting desires and the consequences of pursuing recognition. He admits to his selfish tendencies, putting his mental health at risk by pouring his emotions into his lyrics.


Moving on to the third paragraph, Mike describes a period of isolation and introspection. He has withdrawn from the outside world for a year, confining himself to his own thoughts and experiences. The sound, possibly representing external stimuli or triggers, rebounds from his fears, leaving him astounded and stagnant. He references consuming alcohol as a coping mechanism, noting that his allowance is shared among those he allows into his life. This could symbolize the emotional toll of maintaining relationships and the sacrifices he makes for others.


In the final paragraph, Mike questions his identity and purpose. He acknowledges his tendency to deceive himself and neglect his own needs. The reference to slime on his teeth might suggest a sense of impurity or deceit, reflecting both the external pressures and internal struggles he faces as an artist. He expresses a yearning for authenticity, highlighting the discrepancy between the person he aspires to be and the person he feels he needs to be in a society that demands certain identities.


Overall, "Teeth" reveals Mike's vulnerability, wrestling with contradictions and expectations, and the toll his artistry takes on his mental and emotional well-being.

That was absolutely gorgeous. The first scene made me shiver and hold on to my teeth, but everything was stellar. The actors are phenomenal, the little one is absolutely phenomenal; so much comes through his eyes! The story, the music, the composition, the backgrounds, the colors, the use of light and shadows, THE CREATURE and the acting choices made for them is genius. Needless to say that i loved it!
