about

I'm thinking through childhood and having children, wondering if it’s possible for someone to prevent their failures and shortcomings from getting passed on. “Suck Teeth” was originally going to be the name of the entire album because I loved how it encapsulated a very Black sound of disapproval, annoyance, and disappointment.

This song also includes a hand game I made up with my collaborator Ben Chapoteau-Katz to add to the percussive sound in the second verse. I wanted to very specifically invoke children’s play, even if it wasn’t obvious, I wanted the listener to feel it.

lyrics

Damn, son tell me what you want to do (about me).
Your mother’s buried under life’s debris (sorry).
We’ll spit like swallows if you want it too (tell me).
Poison drifting out of me into you (inside of me).

When I found my bleak future
before I was fully nurtured.
Past present future hybrid creatures
Doesn’t matter if they’re real:
I fear they’re real.
