Samples: Graffiti vandals can be hard to catch, It's a huge problem, All out war on graffiti, Two out of every three cans were stolen out of your typical neighbourhood store, And what happens to the kids convicted of graffiti offences
Chorus: Crime scene colon these cold streets you patrol on Trying to get a hold on kids strapped with Krylon
Scratch: Vandal squad on my case Getting chased raided but mostly getting shit painted (chorus and scratch 2x)
[Promoe] Yo, it was me and Suer, right. On a tuesday night Had green, brown, black, two blue shades and white Cosm.i.c stayed home but BIF crew stay tight Staking out the steel dragon for a true spray fight In other words a backjump Wishing that we wouldn't bumb into them wack chumps Cause the lay-ups getting crowded after sunset Which is cool but get in line cause it ain't your fucking turn yet Gotta burn shit can't come up with no lame style piece If you wanna tame the wild beast Had better burn murder the red worm spread germs in the system to make heads turn And snap necks at the central stations Young kids making cops run like mental patients Don't they know that graffiti can't be stopped Writers unlike rappers can't go pop So they stay underground till the day graff is legalized Civil eyes look upon us as evil guys Though we trod one away on third rails in front of metal giants Death defiant to cops we keep lying In the bushes ambushes being plotted clean trains being spotted signed like there was dotted Lines on the sides of the iron monsters Representing VK mafia, call us bombsters
Sample: This is what the detectives are gonna consider a bombing. Were they take a specific chunk of a neighbourhood and they absolutely destroy it.

[Supreme] They just run off like we were teflon by the blink of an eye they gone Didn't fit in the soccer team as kids so they started out wrong That makes sence thats why they started to bomb Behind bars is were they really belong It's like a life style for these teens they all wear hooded sweatshirts Listen to rap music move in criminal networks They're mainly from the suburbs socially dysfunctional A young graffiti writer soon a fullfeathered criminal Our chances are minimal to lead 'em back to the right side of the track They refer to legal as wack They lack respect for authority, for taxpayers Their own parents pay this it's about the papers They're supposed to be decent yes sayers but now they trash like punkrocks and ravers Hellraisers raised by failures and fools What we need are some rules in the public schools If this make us look bad and by the end of the day That's what really matters the people in charge say They need the public to believe everything's working all right What they don't know won't hurt them right I mean on one hand it's not that dangerous but it looks bad on the other And the voters are stupid they judge the book by it's cover

Sample: Establish a graffiti unit to combat the problem Crack down on graffiti

[Cosm.i.c] You trying to get a hold on us kids strapped with Krylon But for too long people believed in your fiction That graffers came from broken homes with drug addictions Get the picture it's a mixture of four ingredients Kept alive by cats who truly believe in them I won't be naming them but this one in this time Is still non-sellout maybe that's why it's still a crime How many real graff writers we got here tonight? Pump your fist for what you believe is right These northern light emcee characters won't take any shit from suckers with pockets packed with badges Still the baddest in any weather in any season Whether political or for the fuck of it reasons Teasing society like a spot in your rear This generation heroes nightshift volunteers

Scratch: Getting chased, raided but mostly getting shit painted Ey yo, graff can't be faded
Sample: Kids don't think that graffiti is a crime. They need to understand that personal property belongs to other people, and they don't have the right to damage it
