Lyrics

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 thinking about me
 (Are you mad?)
 Yes, I'm mad
 (What make you mad?)
 I don't fuckin' 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, writing's 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

 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 hiding, that was just private, that was dear diary
 Why you entitled?
 Why are you prying?
 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 headlining, 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 spying
 (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
 (It's like you want me to be)
 (You're trying to provoke me)
 After all
 (This shit 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 trying to provoke me)
 After all
 (This shit hereditary)
 (The pressure rising, rising)
 My smile is not employed
 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 shit 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 shit 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
 It's like you want me to be
 You're trying to provoke me
 This shit 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
 It's like you want me to be
 You're trying to provoke me
 This shit 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
 It's like you want me to be
 You're trying to provoke me
 This shit 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
