Somewhere in this world, according to some of the locals/
There exists this clan, similar to a cult so/
Hidden from the public eye, honestly, I don't know/
Much....They say it's a 'tall tale' or so-so/
I heard around the way from some old folks/
Like, "Yo-yo--/
Come around here young ones, listen to some old folktale/
Watch your step where shadows hang solo/
Beware, rich neighborhoods are places where you don't go/
At night, no joke--Or you'll be sorry/
Streets filled with graffiti members, wild like safari's/
Get caught in the wrong spot, get robbed by a party/
Of about 4 or 5 in a moment's breath, probably/"
As soon as they strike, they're gone out of sight but oddly/
These thieves each leave their mark on victim properties/
Spray-paint bandits make you panic 'til it's hard to breathe/
They say that to this day their hiding place has not been seen/
That's right--that's-that's-that's right!/
They call 'em Spray-Paint Bandits!/
[Impermanence] -Verse 2-
We're not born of the evil or swept hate/
To save face, we wear colored masks to escape/
The harsh reality of living straight/
Working full days to barely sustain that full plate?/ (nah)
You see we go about our business/
Our interest--to add digits to those that isn't/
Natural to--we specialize in taggin'/
Bare-knuckle dragon with the speakin' habit/ (Ah yeah)
A talent that is critically acclaimed/
Lower property value but bring about grace/
We rob the rich blind, giving back to the kids/
Not just where we live either but we're sendin' packages/
You've probably seen a few all up in your village/
When your parents came home with a little somethin' different/
Is it so bad to spread the joy?/
Red-flaming traces givin' back to every girl and boy/
That's right--that's-that's-that's right!/
They call 'em Spray-Paint Bandits!/
