Chali 2na - Graff time lyrics

[Chali 2na] Paint Graff Time, C'mon [Hook: Chali 2na] Yeah, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, C'mon Yeah, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, Yo [Verse 1: Chali 2na] My main thing was to paint to gain fame Not duly and aimed, and beautifully stained Plain trains and walls the same thing Incredible styles we maintained Devoured cowards and we made 'em change names Addicted I truly became to this Wicked unruly insane Sub-culture where painters became kings So make room cause I came to create doom On flat surfaces 'til I faint from paint fumes, Yep! When security at the track look Wretchedly fallible wack Put pictures in black books Sketchers and catchers set up the graff spots With murals depict the struggles of the have-nots Runnin' tunnels and hot spots To be the only one We bust slowly, the Krylon and Rustoleum How my burners are slowly done Fifteen, sk** up a bliff clean Messages in graffiti, no f**in' writer can see me at all! [Hook] Hey, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, C'mon Yeah, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, C'mon [Interlude: Chali 2na] Liquid hip-hop in my vein Hop in the train Since the sixth grade I have not been the same Whether playin' ball or rhymin' in the hall Or just writing my name in graffiti on the wall, yah... [Sample 1] Everything you paint will fade or fall off the wall or be buffed, or get dissed, or gone over, so it's like, you know, the walls are living and breathing [Sample 2] That rush, that rush is amazing. Knowing that you're standing out there alone... Surrounded by an entire world that most likely disapproves of what you're doing [Verse 2: Chali 2na] Yo, I counted my cans as I awaited my chance I perpetrated my plans with ink and paint on my hands Celebrated by fans of the vandal squadron Who march in the dark so the dark start chargin' Tagging your name and the clan you claim On everything and your parents don't understand your pain How beautifully tamed sceneries And special tips disperse the paint evenly Thirst just ain't leavin' me, yet! Time stops when graffiti bombs drop Cleverly cop a key to the intercom box Beginners is gon' watch and veterans lay spray Peace to Lee Fab, Futura and K-Slay, today! Hey, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, C'mon Yeah, I need to face it man I'm addicted to the sound of the ball when I shake the can Imma let my man stand patrol While I exercise can control It's Graff Time, Yo!
