Return To Da Wrongside

Artifacts


Tame One] 
I was out to bomb like Vietnam, but in this rhyme, I'm the prime 
suspect 
Handcuffed for stuff that I ain't hit yet 
It seems the neighborhood block watch got open like a box top 
Wanted they're props and called up the cops 
While Momma Dukes is in the kitchen flippin 
Trippin cause spray caps is missin and I left without permission 
I got bagged with the darkest black marker I had 
An easy target cause my tag is on my bookbag 
As I was shadowed they musta heard the bag rattle 
Tipped the cops off, and ran up, before I popped the top off 
Got interrogated bout crews I never heard of 
Got my face wrote on, and treated like I did a murder 
Heard sermons, on property value and city workshops 
Slapped with a fine, now in my record there's a new notch 
The misdemeanor catcher comin back at cha 
for the long ride, as we return to the wrongside 
[El Da Sensai] 
Out to burn, rackin paints by the sack to provide 
tracks as we return to the wrongside 
Art programs and more hip-hop jams, must arrive 
as we return to the wrongside 
More better styles and wack writers step aside 
Aerosol ride, as we return to the wrongside 
Newark, New Jers - Brick City we reside 
Big up, to BS, as we return to the wrongside 
Once more, we have in store graffiti folklore 
in depth to score points, what this joint for? 
All graffiti writers, we bring justice, to this 
Art we take to heart but they missed 
the actual Facts, paint with fat caps, artistic 
gestures, flat or gloss be the texture 
If you measure the amount or count TV, shows on graf 
Galleries, droppin all the skill calories 
They crackin down to make us back down 
but we still wreckin, who remember King 67? 
Peace to Insta, buildin a mad tag in December 
Protective shell los for the winter 
Get in the subject, on how they say we suspects 
Harass me for a marker, there he goes with a Tec 
Blind to see wreck, cause they ignorant to check 
the true art so, they pass laws just to catch 
Certain writers, most bite us anyway 
L-S-B-S, L-T-D is on the path subway 
Try to bring an understanding, respect we're demanding 
Wrongside tales, we never fail with the plannin 
Fatter jams on the air must arrive 
The weak can't slide as we return to the wrongside 
More joints on tape, less compromise 
Better in size as we return to the wrongside 
[Tame One] 
Toys bite my tags, throwups, and old pieces 
Thowin crews up, they can't be down with, and catchin beatings 
Me and my crew stay close-knit 
Make niggaz say 'Oh shit!' about our dope shit, takin cities in doses 
With a tag here and a tag there next year 
it'll be everywhere, catch me if you dare 
It's rare for me not to have a marker after dark 
Cause I've been in this to win this since niggaz used to say spark 
[El Da Sensai] 
Yo, I got the black book designers and the bag 
Make sure I got the uni for the on tour tag 
Saying that we cause mad terror in the city 
Kids ain't got shit so, we feels no pity 
on any surface, hurtin it, experts in it 
Create with the Krylon, crafts be fantastic 
[Tame One] 
Artistic misfits, gifted wicked with the sketchbook 
and the paint, maintainin the status top rank 
With ink stained hands, I masterpiece master plans 
with cans we came across diss some toys who crossed me off 
Lost in my thought, I can walk a mile on style it's 
been a while but I keep mechanicals on file 
for every new jack, and non-believer not knowin my background 
from jump, sleepin cause they only see me with blunts 
My ghetto cartoons just express how I feel 
Representin my culture, and not off it is the deal 
I'm so ill with skill and I'm still up to par 
Not your everday rap star, just who we are 
Like conquering lions, we do our things with strong pride 
for the long ride, tellin tales from the wrongside 
[El Da Sensai] 
KRS keeps the stage show live 
Sharper than knives, as we return from the wrongside 
PNB Nation, no hesitation 
Blazin, as we return from the wrongside 
Peeps sleep, while these brothers coincide 
Keep in stride, as we return from the wrongside 
Comp hide, toy niggaz take a dive 
Kickin skills live, as we return from the wrongside 
Uhh, it's like that 
Layin shit down on the map 
Artifact crew, in the house 
like this like that, so whatchu want? 
For the who? You know the crew...
