Lyrics White Teeth - Kay Young

Mummy didn't raise no fool
Told me to choose friends carefully
Don't let me hear from school
And have to come down your school today
Home by a certain time
No long tings streets were for me
Don't go following crowds
Think for yourself, my child

You ain't got to worry bout me
You ain't got to worry bout me
Look, mummy, I'll be okay
What's not to like about me?
All I heard growing up
"Got to work twice harder than your white friends"
I've got superpowers, mummy
I've got superpowers, mummy
All I do is push the button, watch the ting go

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your white tee
I'ma blind you when you say cheese
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your high beam
These are something that you ain't seen
I'm a shine, I'm a shine, I'm a shine

Daddy didn't raise no fool, no
Beat round the bush, he straight with me
Different kind of cool, yeah
Thinking I want to have that some day
Up late playing the blues, yeah
Had me feel I could do anything
Okay, I'ma bring the trophy home
Daddy, I'ma pick up where you left

You ain't got to worry bout me
You ain't got to worry bout me
Look, daddy, I'll be okay
What's not to like about me?
All I heard growing up
"Got to work twice harder than your average"
I've got superpowers, daddy
I've got superpowers, daddy
All I do is push the button, watch the ting go

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your white tee
I'ma blind you when you say cheese
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your high beam
These are something that you ain't seen
I'm a shine, I'm a shine, I'm a shine

Think you better come with me
Take you to another league
No price on these pearly whites
Put your wallet back inside your jeans
Why you complaining, you complaining?
Ah, I'll show you how to clean them
Move up the ladder, flee the snacks
I'll have them falling at your feet

Worry about me
You don't have to worry about me, yeah
Look, Annie, I'll be ok
What's not to like about me? Yeah
Growing up, all I heard
Got to work twice harder 'cause I'm black skinned
I've got superpowers, damn it
I've got superpowers, damn it
All I do is press the button, watch the ting go

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your white tee
I'ma blind you when you say cheese
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine

White teeth (white teeth)
They be brighter than your high beam
These are something that you ain't seen
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine (check my teeth)

Check my, check my teeth, teeth
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
Check my, check my, check my teeth
Check my, check my teeth, teeth
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
Check my, check my, check my teeth
Check my, check my teeth, teeth
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
Check my, check my, check my teeth
Check my, check my teeth, teeth
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
I'ma shine, I'ma shine, I'ma shine
Yes, oh
Check my-

Think I need a full charger, 'cause my battery run out
From carrying the weight, I wouldn't change it no doubt
Walk into a room and watch my P's & my Q's
But taking all the freebies, excuse me
Please don't let me hit you with my Sunday best
No competition, if you ain't trying to impress
Mummy's not around, lift up the lid let me taste it
Brother's on the look out for my own safety

Let me preach about it
Blessed and highly favored
Ain't no silencing we (black skin)
Choir sing about it
If I don't speak love for my people, forget about me (black skin)

Let me preach about it
Blessed and highly favored
Ain't no silencing we (black skin)
Choir sing about it
If I don't speak love for my people, people
