Graffiti On A High School Wall
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Double K: Here we come y'all, here we go... (repeated)
[Thes One:] Uh, uh, uh, yeah, ha ha! Yeah, check it out, yo... To my Colorado crew, you don't stop! To my New York crew, you don't stop! To the Chi-town homies, you don't stop! And to my L.A. peeps, you don't stop!
[Double K:]
Yo, Boss, me I come change the mood, once the I into the room!
Chill, then get rude, smash the turntable
Bum rush the show, bust a fat cable
We be them folks, you know
Make the chicks boogie, wet up the front row
Pass the microphone like it's '82
Thes One, shock the house. What you been up to?
[Thes One:]
Been over here, been over there
Like Uncle Joey on Full House
Half ale, half stout, the black-and-tan blackout
Who get the party started like the Beastie Boys
The Public Enemy, Chuck D, bring the noise
We been all over the world, but we came back to you
'Cause it's the two ([Double K:] It's the two!), undeniable crew
Now understand, the Blues Brothers on a mission from God
The squad goal: restore soul, we beat the odds
[Double K:] Make noise, have drinks, y'all, have a ball!
([Rap sample:] Just writin' my name in graffiti on the wall)
Make noise, put it in the air, have a ball!
([Rap sample:] Just writin' my name in graffiti on the wall)
Make noise, have drinks, y'all, have a ball!
([Rap sample:] Just writin' my name in graffiti on the wall)
Make noise, put it in the air, have a ball!
([Rap sample:] Here it come, here it come, here it kiddi-come-come)
[Thes One:]
Man, you shake that can, baby, shake my hand
We land city-to-city, and all across the land
Nothing but high-fives, so when we enter the place
We make a smoke on the treble and turn up the bass
Who could carry the torch better, permanent trend setter
The 16th letter, working better together
When you see the two-man band decimate the stage
Take a picture, timeline controlling your front page
[Double K:]
And thank the sound man, 'cause we feeling the funk
Won't stop 'til the money long Dumbo's trunk
Backspin the vinyl, catch it on the one, sire
Give it a "jigga jigga", dance floor on fire
High-five the cocktail in my hand
Thes One, Double K, the two-man band
So I'mma just slide, breakin' the law
Pass the Krylon, and I'm out, y'all!
[Rap sample:] Just writin' my name in graffiti on the wall
(Rap sample:] Graffiti on the high school wall
(both repeated)
[Double K:] Yeah, I know you see that... with the wild style! Yeah, they call me "Mike Burner!" All over your wall! All over your street! All over your school! Hey, we ain't no fool! It's on your wall! Don't take it off the wall, it's on the wall! Yeah...
[Spoken sample:] You see them? Their tags are little block letters on little white cards...
[Spoken sample:] And when you see they got a vicious style, they be wantin' to get loose about it!
[Man #1:] -Odd style
[Man #2:] Technical, they're spit... get loot!
[Man #3:] Just get loot!
[Man #4:] There's cartoons, everything...
[Spoken sample:] You got to fill it in red, okay? (Okay?)
[Man #1:] -Odd style
[Man #2:] Technical, they're spit... get loot!
[Man #3:] Just get loot!
[Man #4:] There's cartoons, everything...
