Fingernails

Pulling off your fingernails
One by one by one by one
Pulling off your fingernails
One by one by one by one

God as my witness no more compromise
I'm in the fight of my life
Picked up the language and speaking it nice
I'm in the fight of my life
They taught me vicious so they recognise
I'm in the fight for my life
Blood on your hands and now blood covers mine
Having the time of my life with your fingernails

One by one by one by one
Pulling off your fingernails
One by one by one by one
Pulling off your fingernails
Out here promising to do my best
Out here thinking I don’t know what’s next
Out here
Pulling off your fingernails one by one

Violence is history and history has rhymed
We got the fight of our lives
Sign the petitions so peaceful so quiet
We got the fight of our lives
Won’t be no victim won’t be no messiah
I'm in the fight for my life
Days meant for love and there’s days meant for ire
I had the time of my life pulling off your fingernails one by one
Pulling off your fingernails one by one

One by one by one by one
Pulling off your fingernails
One by one by one by one
Pulling off your fingernails
Out here promising to do my best
Out here thinking I don’t know what’s next
Out here
Pulling off your fingernails one by one

Why you wasted?
Why you wasted?
Why you wasted?
Why you wasted?

One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one

Out here promising to do my best
Out here thinking I don’t know what’s next
Out here
Pulling off your fingernails one by one
