Graffiti Lyrics

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

Everybody thought that he was crazy, he put his name on every wall that he could see

Once upon a time I was thinking of a rhyme to warn from my crime, since I still haven't been forgiven

Boise, it was 2007, living in the capital town

I was running around with a red bandana that was always hanging down

Hood influenced, I'm from Nampa, I was coolin' with this vato reto from California

We started Murder Idaho Records, that was our shit, but we needed more members

I had Richie and Blaze, he had himself a goofy who liked to do graffiti with his roommates

And one day they handed me a can of red spray paint, pointed to a wall and I was on my way

With a capital K-R-A-Z-Y-L-O-C and that's when I fell in love with seeing my name dripping from the graffiti

True story

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

Everybody thought that he was crazy, he put his name on every wall that he could see

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

You can catch me if you can find me, I put my name on every wall that you could see

Aight, let's go, I had Crazy Loco written all over the bowl

If they covered it up, I'd do it again, again and again

It's just what we do, me and my friends

Yeah, Osito, first time I seen some snitch shit

Cops with questions, he said it was Richie

Rich, that was some weird shit

Didn't think nothing of it, I used to think that would never happen to me

Until the pigs knew everything about me

It started with Rob and Goofy, let em know it was me

The graffiti all over the city, I was crazy

It ended with T-Roy who filled in the blanks

Full name, location and my gang, bunch of fucking lames

Now I'm in the police station giving out my fingerprints

Looking at the evidence, two felonies for the same shit

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

Everybody thought that he was crazy, he put his name on every wall that he could see

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

You can catch me if you can find me

I put my name on every wall that you could see

First crime that I did, I did a year in jail like all the time

It was hell, not fun at all, but I still wrote my name on the walls

Got out on probation, got a P.O. that didn't like my affiliation

Fuck Frank Flores, that wasn't your business

He kept sending me back on violations, I swear I wasn't doing nothing

Just didn't pay his extortion, so he shook me down

So my phone closed and he loose change around, so I acted out

What would you do from 08 to 2012, I was a good kid

Now I'm on my way to prison for that graffiti that I did in 07

Lost four years of my life over some bullshit, and I'm still fighting to get away from it

So stay away from the paint little homie, I don't recommend it

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

Everybody thought that he was crazy, he put his name on every wall that he could see

Once upon a time there was this kid named Derrick, got himself a can of red spray paint

You can catch me if you can find me, I put my name on every wall that you could see

I put my name on every wall that you could see
