Loyalty Got Teeth

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I don’t do messy I don’t do fake But if you bring it to my door? Better stand on everything you said [Verse 1] I’m loyal as hell, that’s stamped in my blood, If I call you mine, then I’m showin’ you love. I’m there when it’s ugly, not just when it’s lit, I don’t switch up sides when the pressure gets thick. I keep my circle tight, I can smell that fake, Too many smile in your face then pray you break. I don’t gossip, don’t sneak, don’t throw little shade, If I got an issue, trust, it’s gettin’ addressed to your face. I like my peace, but don’t get that confused, Being calm don’t mean I’m somebody to use. I don’t start shit, but I damn sure stand, Try somebody I love and you deal with me then. I’m sweet when it’s earned, I’m cold when it’s needed, Give respect, get respect—that’s how I mean it. I ain’t gotta get loud just to make ’em believe it, My silence got pressure, my presence undefeated. [Chorus] My loyalty got teeth, better watch how you move, I give love real deep, but I got something to prove. I’m a sweetheart, yeah—but don’t play with me, You can meet the soft side or the savage in me. I don’t chase, I replace disrespect with goodbye, You can lie to the world, you can’t lie to my eyes. I’ll love you like crazy if you love me correctly, But cross that line once—don’t expect the old me. [Verse 2] Yeah, I’m romantic, I love being in love, I like late-night talks and that can’t-get-enough. Give me loyalty, effort, affection that’s real, I’ll give you a side of me most never feel. But don’t think my heart makes me easy to play, I’ll walk out your life and still sleep good that day. I’m not beggin’ no man to remember my worth, If you gotta lose me to see it, then baby, it hurts. I want flowers and kisses, that grown type of vibe, But respect is the minimum if you’re by my side. Don’t call it love while you’re treatin’ me foul, I’d rather be single than tolerate that style. I know what I bring, I don’t bargain my price, Had to learn that lesson, probably more than twice. Now my standards sit high and my boundaries higher, Come correct or get gone—I don’t beg, I require. [Verse 3] Then my ex started lyin’, runnin’ wild with my name, Telling half-ass stories just to dodge all the blame. Had to paint me the villain so he looked like the saint, But a cheap coat of lies can’t cover what ain’t. Keep talkin’. Keep makin’ shit up. Every lie gets weaker every time you dress it up. People who know me already know what it is, You can rewrite the story, can’t rewrite how you lived. I could spill receipts, I could bury that act, But I don’t gotta scream when I’m standin’ on facts. You wanted a reaction, I gave you success— Now you watch from a distance while I level up next. You lost access, that’s the part that stings, Can’t break a woman who remembers she’s a queen. Drag my name all day, I’m still sleepin’ just fine, ’Cause the truth don’t panic—it just waits on its time. [Breakdown] I’m not difficult. You just can’t disrespect me. I’m not dramatic. I just don’t let shit slide. I’m not heartless. I finally chose myself. And anybody mad about that Can stay mad. [Verse 4] I’m the wrong damn one if you’re lookin’ for weak, I can let shit go, but I’m nobody’s sheep. I don’t need a whole crew just to stand on my own, Been solid by myself, I’m good in my zone. But touch one of mine, now it’s different terrain, I protect who I love, that’s just how I’m made. I don’t want confrontation, but I won’t disappear, You ain’t gonna disrespect mine while I’m standing right here. I’m a lover with standards, a friend with a spine, A problem for anybody who keeps crossin’ that line. Call me sweet, call me savage, both statements are true, It all depends on what side you introduce. [Final Chorus] My loyalty got teeth, better watch how you move, I give love real deep, but I got nothing to prove. I’m a sweetheart, yeah—but don’t play with me, You can meet the soft side or the savage in me. I don’t chase, I replace disrespect with goodbye, You can lie to the world, you can’t lie to my eyes. I’ll love you like crazy if you love me correctly, But once you cross that line—there’s no access to me. [Outro] Loyal as they come. Dangerous to underestimate. I don’t need revenge. Losing me handled that. I love hard. I stand harder. And I’ll choose my peace Over anybody. Every. Single. Time.
