Kero Uno - The Cycle Repeats lyrics

[Hook] It goes 1 for free cans and 2 for mean streaks 3 for fat markers that we use to bomb streets 4 for cops makin' your heart beat thump Often the rush is enough to motivate us to bust [Verse 1] But I'll, avoid the buff by all means necessary Bombin' strategically to have one less adversary And cops work the beat so my feet move with rhythm On the ankle express to manifest youth and rebellion Riskin' freedom to animate cities we live in Using weapons from neckup and ambition like ammunition Pushin' the envelope of graff higher for writers As kings develop styles and inspire the birth of biters Toys sketch on papyrus, then graduate to streets Spawning new admirers and the cycle repeats and it goes... [Hook] 1 for free cans, 2 for the crew 3 toy writers keeping our confidence fueled 4 for cops makin' your heart beat thump Often that rush is enough to motivate us to bust [Verse 2] Now if paintings are rich in content am I defacing walls? Or breakin' the law if recognitions my accomplice? I ponder while stompin' through concrete museums Painting property consciously cause gangs are on surveillance Indecent exposure is graffiti what it seems to be? When bringing color to poverty stricken sceneries Still a starving artist, cause I'd rather buy paint When pa**ion is ma**ive peripheral become faint My eyes on the prize until I'm tried by police But as soon as I'm released you know the cycle repeats and it goes.. [Hook]
