Suckers that want to be in my face I just slap that
Big respect to artifacts, fat joey crack and

Worldwide burners, gettin hotter gettin brighter

Historically speakin, cause people be dissin
The first graffiti artists in the world were the egyptians
Writing on the walls, mixing characters with letters
To tell the graphic story about their life, however
Today we do the same thing, with how we rap and draw
We call it hardcore, they call it breakin the law
There used to be a time when rap music was illegal
The cops would come and break up every party when they see you
But now the rap musics making money for the corporate
Its acceptable to flaunt it, now everybodys on it
Graffiti isnt corporate so it gets no respect
Hasnt made a billion dollars for some corporation yet, so
In the name of phase2, stay high, pre-streets
Grab your cans and hit the streets, Im out for fame
Im writin my name, in graffiti on the wall (repeat 6x)
Yeah, hip-hop culture in the house one time
All graffiti artists in the house one time

Im livin in the city, inner city not a farm
Steady bombin til I get fatigue in my arm
Watchin for the beast cause many artists they shot em
And beat em in the yards, while doin a top to bottom
So pass me a can, not of old gold
But full blue, sky blue, watch me unfold
With the cold burner, of names you mighta heard of
