Story behind the song
I listened to this bizzy bone song that i never heard before,it inspired me to make the beat . (a beat with that kind of structure) and it immediately gave me an idea for a song that fit me. "Black nails" is symbolic of my life. Basically since I'm black and I'm interested in Gothic like things (such as black painted nails,spiked bracelets,etc.,) and you know that will AUTOMATICALLY get me looked upon as "weird" but it really fits my mentality, considering all the emotional pain I go through on a daily basis. This song is basically about my perception on my life. 1st verse is just about all the things I think about. 2nd verse is about how I am and if I actually made it BIG in music (Which is my dream) how I would be DIFFERENT and UNIQUE and I'm not tryna follow a "trend" to get there. 3rd verse starts off with me talking about someone who hurt me deeply, dissing them at first, BUT I start saying how I basically DO I understand more than they think I do and the only reason I tripped so hard was because the pain was so prevelant I couldn't think clearly and TRY to understand. then the last 8 bars of the song is basically me talking to God.
Lyrics
Black Nails:
Verse 1:
You Fall and ya trip tradition's ya weapon/
The things that I go through to breathe everyday/
To livin at peace is it worth the stay?/
It's never worth the hope that hope'll prevail and it's all ok/(ok)
The testament is full of tests/
Most I have failed neva know when I'm blessed/
But PLEASE don't hold it against me, can't go to church cause the demon's up in me/(SIN IS FREE)
But da payment is good/
YOu pay for your sins but da pain lies in love/
How come when I'm growin up things just be going down in my mind over time (I) mentally died/
Lots of doubt is placed on me/
Mainly from myself you see/
My obsession of music is obsessively taking over me/
Life equals pain, Pain leads to death/
So doesn't that mean we just living to rest?/
All of the puzzles is why I'm depressed/
And bein judged by the way that I can dress/
I got a solution, You need a cure?/
To the sickness and famine who's cause is unsure/
To why many of us losin their loved ones, Can't even recognize the devil's lure/
The population's evil and needless to say it's feeble/
Not sickness or a needle/
Because what hurts is other people/
I need you not to pity me/
Badgered with your stupidity/
Steadily disecting me/
Never to get the best of me/(Can't You see)
Chorus (1):
Peace be still, to the storm inside of me before it causes me redrum x3
Knowin deep inside that there's nowhere to run/
Chorus (2)*Background layer*:
This is my life with no strings attached/
Truth is all that I dispatch/
I've felt more pain than death/
In Death no pain is latched/
I'd never take my fame for granted/
F*** a star I want a planet/
In a tundra so blisterin,Question Are you listenin?/ x2
Verse 2:
They say once in the game never put your heart up in unless you really want/
the heartache and the pain to endure like you never felt but it feels so cold/(How's that n*** ?)
To have a role model but you never really know what they've done/
Even if it only consists of one son's, song that is sung but he sang on the run/
Well, What if I seen death, felt it and dreamed it, Verbally given you the realest sh** you will read yet/
Contradiction is at hand, but I'm not your normal man/
Out of my mind, can't recognize my own hand/
I'm not killin with bullets cause emotions inflict the greatest pain/
"killer" rappers and sh*t who can do this better than I can/
n*** z gone respect me, just because I make beats/
F*ck what I make em on they the hottest you will eva peep/
Startin it out, I came with a sound, I gotta redo it again to come out/
Waitin for my future to become my present but my present present isn't a blessing/
Why am I cursed to writing a verse/
Consisting of sadness thats from my rebirth/
The tragic part about it I'ma have to shout it, just to be heard, Make it, I doubt it/
(chorus)x2
Verse 3:
Angellic illuzion, take me away/
Yea you took me to a place that I never would stay/
You think another n*** could do any better?/
You better recognize your eyes are blind from being a 2 time/
Low down and dirty, bottom feeding, trash bag, rodent eatin, no class, n*** teasin bi(stop)/
I won't take it that far yet/
Cause I loveded you, wanted a ring on your finger too/
I understand more than you think I do/
But pain overrides rationality boo/
I do have my, faith and belief that it'll get better/
But why must you,make me shutter with one thing after another/
You Say I'd be wrong if I'm to take my life/
But I'm left with myself only to talk to at night/
It's so hard to see with tears blinding your sight/
Like so alone your upbringin is strong if only I fight/
(Chorus)x2
