They wanna see me angry
They wanna see me bear my teeth yeah
I'm a stovetop baby
I smile in your face but the ovens on high
Don't get burned
I told you that I meant it
I'm reclusive I sleuthed it
I already know what you're thinkin' 'bout me
Are you mad Yes I'm mad
What make you mad I don't f**kin' know
You should tell me so you done done it
Ooh-ah ooh-ah
Are you mad Yes I'm mad
What make you mad I can't recall
I plead the fifth writings on the wall
Ooh-ah ooh-ah
After after all
Teeth-teeth are not employed
You can't police my joy no
After after all
These not em-not employed
You can't police my joy no
They wanna see me angry
They wanna see me bear my teeth yeah
I'm a stovetop baby
I smile in your face but the oven's on high
Don't get burned
I told you that I meant it
I'm reclusive I sleuthed it
I already know what you're thinkin' 'bout me
Are you mad Yes I'm mad
What make you mad I don't f**kin' know
You should tell me so you done done it
Ooh-ah ooh-ah
Are you mad Yes I'm mad
What make you mad I can't recall
I plead the fifth writings on the wall
Ooh-ah ooh-ah
After after all
Teeth-teeth are not employed
You can't police my joy no
After after all
These not em-not employed
You can't police my joy no
Yeah can't police my
Can't tell me when to release my Soul
What you looked into and then find Soul
Brought up the same news the last time Soul
I wasn't hidin' that was just private that was dear diary
Why you entitled Why are you pryin'
Say I'm too quiet watch how they gon' flip it
That's not how I meant it
But that's how they write it
I'ma hear about it in the written column
If they gon' misquote me what's the point in talking'
It is not promotion
Only nonsense and it's not important
Not headlinin' I was unimportant I didn't talk about it
I don't talk about it but that's how I liked it
I don't go outside so much they don't invite me
Interview and now there's no need for the spyin'
Are you mad Yes I'm mad
Yes I'm Black no I don't elaborate
I said oh yeah I had to say
No you ain't got the answers wait
No human is immaculate
Gon' be dreadlocked and tatted faced
That's the story they'll gravitate
Stovetop day one what I don't got
Devil's advocate I saw them play both sides
That's the line they'll cross for exposure
Recluse reluctant to share most times
After after all
These teeth are not employed
You can't police my joy
After after all
My smile is not employed
You can't police my joy
After after all
These teeth are not employed
You can't police my joy
After after all
My smile is not employed
You can't police my joy
After after all
These not em-not employed
You can't police my joy no
After after all
These not em-not employed
You can't police my joy
After
It's like you want me to be
You're tryin' to provoke me
After all
This sh*t hereditary
The pressure rising rising
These teeth are not employed
Some days I'm almost carefree
Some days I wish I could be
You can't police my joy
So many women in me
You beggars can't be choosy
After
It's like you want me to be
You're tryin' to provoke me
After all
This sh*t hereditary
The pressure rising rising
Some days I'm almost carefree
Some days I wish I could be
So many women in me
You beggars can't be choosy
After
It's like you want me to be
You're tryin' to provoke me
After all
This sh*t hereditary
The pressure rising rising
These teeth are not employed
Some days I'm almost carefree
Some days I wish I could be
You can't police my joy
So many women in me
You beggars can't be choosy
After
It's like you want me to be
You're tryin' to provoke me
After all
This sh*t hereditary
The pressure rising rising
My smile is not employed
Some days I'm almost carefree
Some days I wish I could be
You can't police my joy
So many women in me
You beggars can't be choosy
