[Chorus: Boogalu] Sound alarms Bang the drums Vandalism Sound Alarms Bang the drums That Kingdom come, come He on that Vandalism [x2] [Verse 1: Boogalu] Bad kid, mad city Mad scenes of the baddest things Human beings think, say and do They are etched in my mind Like the memories of vets Meetings villains in the vines This is true It's Vietnam in the cities That we knew, 'fore the rich came Through But the heart speaks too It's proof text for the brokenness No matter what the context You know we all vexed by a curse come True Speak, watch your vandalism spew from Your checks Like decay on the project hall walls, full View Depraved heart caves Overpa** concaves City grim on our plates Name plates, Never true 'Til we come true All cakes when we All come straight Never clean, all shame Drip, Drip on the I.D Filthy from the game Life stains Some got our finger prints Others got names All the same Broken works of art Searching for a new Descartes Brushed with a cross Who'd thought? Art [Chorus: Boogalu] [Bridge: Sho Baraka] He is always on that vandalism Broken things, Master in them Mastering the rebel with the rebel in Them Mastering their new creation Ugly into beautiful Reverse vandalism [Verse 2: Sho Baraka] A Paintbrush and a canvas please I'm a piece of the master's work the master staring back at me I told y'all I was Rembrandt with a Fedora cap Ernie Barnes with the rhymes I'm just painting y'all good times Harlem reborn Zora Neal or Langston Bring culture to the culture somebody better thank him Vultures they say my abstract is wack Its tasteless vandalism for our side of the tracks But I'm obnoxious redeemed and unavoidable High Art for the lesser some say its so enjoyable I'm conscious that the pompous will call it it nonsense Simon the Sorcerer, They profiting of the Prophet Fling paint, play with colors they caint Paintbrush steps back to see what the Lord makes History packaged within the form of poetry Verses get the rewind that's the signature that you know it's me And now we see The majesty of Christ taking vandalism and making it a master piece [Chorus: Boogalu]
