Stains,

stains



[Promoe]

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

cus 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



[Mapei]

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



[Supreme]

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

em

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
