Nails on a Chalkboard (Feat Benadiction)

from Brace Yourself (2012) by john wesley

lyrics

See what you’re hearing is nails on a chalkboard
Nails on a chalkboard? John what you talk for?
Doing what I love, what you doing with your life?
You talk a lot too; I just do it with a mic
Wouldn’t you rather hear nails on a chalkboard?
Nails on a chalkboard? – John what you rap for?
Your criticism is more than we could ask for
The end comes faster at you when you fast forward
The music created is nails on a chalkboard
We're on our way to making you hate us a lot more
Basically we’re the teenagers your mom warned
You about so hatred ain’t mistaken for God stories
I know a lot of drama is uncalled for - BUT
We never said the lyrics spitted would solve war
We keep 4 X 4’s stocked in a sock drawer
Cocked back and ready to be swinging them back and forth
You’re trying to get under my skin and top WARREN
He’s the veteran; you’re a sophomore
You’re walking straight forward into a locked door
This is ours; you’re playing in our basketball court
You’re jaw is sore and falling short is a tall order
We plan on rocking from California to Baltimore
So what is this our fault for?
Forget it – here’s the chorus for nails on a chalkboard

The music created is nails on a chalkboard
Nails on a chalkboard? John what you talk for?
Doing what I love, what you doing with your life?
You talk a lot too; I just do it with a mic
Wouldn’t you rather hear nails on a chalkboard?
Nails on a chalkboard? – John what you rap for?
Your criticism is more than we could ask for
The end comes faster at you when you fast forward

We’ll make you popular, wherever you started off
Is a lost cause, causing you stress, it’s hard to talk
We’ll give you what you want, everybody gon know you
You will gain everything, but there’s still some motions to go through
We told you we will make you oh so popular
Leave it to Sergeant Beau and surgeon John, they are doctors
you sure it’s what you want? The procedures not hard to do
But there may be bleeding and screaming and pieces and parts of you
upon receiving word and seeing a scar or two
You’ll be all over the news people be reading articles
Talking to each other about you crying and need to know
We’ll make you so popular that you’ll have to hide to be alone
they’ll come and find you while you are trying to sleep at home
No time alone, but that’s the price of being known
I’ll stay as long as you don’t want me but you need me
But the second that you want me but ain’t needing me I’m leaving
you’re always complaining life is totally lame
You ain’t getting what you want and you ain’t noticing change [RIGHT?]
you wouldn’t mind if I cut off both of your legs
Sawed off your arms and then told you to walk over here and wave [RIGHT?]
Shame on you, Beau, I didn’t know you threw him down the stairs
Apologize to him; see what they do when you appear
They’ll find a piece of you there, and two of you here
We’ll make you popular, but it could ruin your career
The music created is nails on a chalkboard
Nails on a chalkboard? John what you talk for?
Doing what I love, what you doing with your life?
You talk a lot too; I just do it with a mic
Wouldn’t you rather hear nails on a chalkboard?
Nails on a chalkboard? – John what you rap for?
Your criticism is more than we could ask for
The end comes faster at you when you fast forward
