Stains |
I had on a pair of jeans that I been wearing ever since |
My very early teens I wished the would never end |
But it did and then it did i wish it never would have started |
But I’m getting ahead of myself beg your pardon |
Let me take you back to mid nineties |
When I stole my cans before I did my piece |
Gas stations had cans in abundance |
Yours truly tried to be the man in the tunnels |
'Cause that’s how we went all city in my city |
Had no trains but we hit up public propert |
And I guess we could have done it for democracy |
But we did it for ourself it was Cos and me |
A.K.A Dhem IAK |
Remember when cops came driving down the cycleway |
Into the tunnel so we ran up on the top of it |
And in our minds knowing that we wouldn’t stop for shit |
We came unto big muddy field feeling like we getting |
Chased in a movie but it’s real somehow someway |
I don’t know how we got away but we did and we lived to |
Tell the story another day |
Next day in school I was the same old fool |
But last night I might have been a king |
They laughed at me but I knew something that they never |
Knew that’s why I took pride in my stains |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
Yo my man yeah he pieces for peace kid |
Trooping through the night I see him everywhere we live |
In my world a terrorist his can is a gun |
And he will surely bust a cap in your butt if you run |
Over him son |
Color concrete cus you know the city is rotten |
Fuck a trend fuck a hype |
Graffiti can’t be stopped man |
And I listen to Ziggy Marley |
But people hardly ‘member Ziggy and Dizey |
They kept the walls busy |
Krylon check Belton Auto-K check |
Pack ya flows skinny fat cap keep the po po vexed |
We try to reconstruct something |
Why they trying to hustle artist for their own |
Government funding |
Just try to keep your heads bopping |
Throw it up whole car em |
And bam from the top to the bottom go |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s |
Morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s |
Morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
I recognize the stains seen the paint and the blood |
Remember us growing up you know the hate and the love |
How we felt like outsiders so we created a club |
Like a secret society like we knew what was up |
We would study the kings this is when puppet would burn |
Finally had our thing never seen the kids so determined |
To make a name for themselves redefining the rules |
Cruise the city for new pieces and fight for their |
Crews |
Some of us made it out stronger others got caught up in |
Crime |
Some made their love their profession some sadly lost |
Their life |
But we remember you forever and I’m proud to say |
That we was part of something bigger we got stories for |
Days |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s |
Morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
(stains)behind every stain there’s a story |
I been out in the rain then it’s pouring |
(stains)all through the night had to wait till it’s |
Morning |
I did it for the fame and the glory |
Remember my name I ain’t never giving up |
Remember my name I’m forever getting up |
Remember my name I ain’t never giving up |
Remember my name I’m forever getting up |
