| Ages ago this city was held hostage
|
| 5-letter word wolf stencil colossus
|
| Sloppy by design but the style was polished
|
| Owned every billboard, boxcar and college
|
| He wore the price on his hand style gladly
|
| Knee deep in a mountain of hamburger patties
|
| Like fuck off bitch and don’t forget the sesame seed bun
|
| Your 15 burners of fame are finally done
|
| He never slept, he never talked, he never even lived
|
| Just scribbled all the visuals swimming in his lid
|
| Word started spreading through multiple channels
|
| He was a task force robot in the shell of a vandal
|
| He wasn’t in it for the fame, martre for the art starving
|
| Until the writer we love to hate went milk carton
|
| never to be seen again a blip in margins
|
| Immortalized folklore legendary carving
|

|
| And we just want are names on the wall
|
| a place that relates to the yes yes ya’ll (ah ah ah)
|
| And we just want are names on the wall
|
| a place that relates to the yes yes ya’ll (ah ah ah)
|
| And we just want are names on the wall
|
| a place that relates to the yes yes ya’ll (ah ah ah)
|
| And we just want are names on the wall
|
| a place that relates to the yes yes ya’ll (ah ah ah)
|
| living off soap operas and popsicles
|
| Amazed by the space separating us from God’s missile
|
| Caught in the middle of a chicken pot pistol
|
| and the thought he’s just mommy’s little auctioned off cripple
|
| secluded in the farms of northern Iowa
|
| Miles apart from things he’d die to touch
|
| You could feel the love in all the «I give ups!»
|
| Almost as much as the constant Vicodin buzz
|
| Pumps viking blood with the mind of a psychic thug
|
| But can’t tie his shoes let alone ride the bus
|
| Stuck in total blackness eye’s wide shut
|
| One in a million freak accident- just my luck
|
| The only thing keeping him alive is the vendetta
|
| and ten years of hate waiting to get out and get up
|
| The city mine, mine for the taking
|
| No returns every inch burned- liquidated
|

|
| Where he came from art was foreign
|
| Found a voice in graffiti cuz it never ignored him
|
| Became a generic arosol kid fuck air-Jordan
|
| Let’s leave this shit hole and invest in distortion
|
| Hitch hiking with a sharpie marker thumbs high
|
| On a mission to tattoo every cloud in the sky
|
| After days of travel he landed in B-boy babylon
|
| Equipped with dated bubble letters that fad is gone
|
| He didn’t know what he was doing but knew what he wanted
|
| he wanted to make a name bigger than your name-promise
|
| At all costs bombin- like a kamakaze comic
|
| but all too many fundamental tricks went forgotten
|
| Like fuck! |
| there’s a red cherry shadow coming after me
|
| I’m hanging solo on a clothes line ready to make a masterpiece
|
| Lost balance shattered knees cracked teeth handcuffed
|
| Billy club to the temple can’t see
|
