Nail to hammer, paper to pen

(Fernando Alarcon)

This rap discusses how if an individual wants to be succesful in life (in this case in the rap scene) then they have to constantly be working on personal improvement. The song also comments on the rap scene and it's lack in raw talent.

(Verse)
More dedicated than Tom Cruise is to his churches.
Blessed as hell with a heavenly flow; my songs be lifting curses
The few who made an attempt on me they all ended up in hearses.
We fixating on making a living killing and stealing;
I’m gonna reel in the millions through these (verses)

So I keep scribbling put any thought on paper 
That I deem interesting. But if it’s shit; rewrite in later.
Till I drop a song that repeats all day like a call to prayer
Tried and tested; the 9 to 5 life of just waiting in line
Fuck that. I was never meant to stay here!

For most of us it’s inevitable because cheddar is indispensable
But time is nonrefundable and enjoying mine has been wonderful
Working hard in something enjoyable to reach the unattainable (damn)

I heard them say you hammer the nail and pen the pages,
I embrace a state of stasis because building a song takes too many fucking stages,
Where the heart and mind engages to pen some bars that last throughout the fucking ages.
(Throughout the ages)

(Pre-chorus)
I’ll make this shit last throughout the ages.
I promise I’ll make this shit last throughout the ages.

(Chorus)
Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

(Verse)
And you can exclude me from all the other dudes
Stumbling into rap mumbling and even messing with the autotune
I’m medicated with dedication I’m going to be blowin up soon
To the moon and beyond, creeping into fire like it’s june.

Coming through menacing like a monsterous monsoon.
With that curtain raising I’ll be guns blazing like in Platoon.
Stained with sagacious streets, lined with lush lyricism,
Notes of fresh bars, and genius? Well, maybe just a teaspoon.

I resent the fact that this industry is lacking talent.
A lack in drive to find the right name to put on the fucking ballot.
I guess you could call them the malice in this planet
Putting pressure to create the diamonds to keep this world in balance.

Pop a Percocet?
Don’t mind if I do

Swallow down a xani?
Well fuck it why not take two?

Would you like some coke?
The fuck? Is that some kind of sick joke?

Stick this needle in your vein?
Agh! Shit goes straight to my brain.

It may seem course, but I could just let natural selection take its course.
Place bets on the next horse to overdose on horse of course.
Till all you fuckers are gone, root and stem.
Please don’t come back again.
Cut you loose straight from the fucking source!

(Chorus)
Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen

Hammer to nail
Pen to Paper
 
Nail to hammer
Paper to pen
