Wrong Side of the Tracks
The Artifacts Lyrics

I'm out to bomb like Vietnam under the same name Tame One
I am determined to spread graffiti, much like the Vietnam war, under my recognizable tag name Tame One.

The bad one, ink flow master bastard with the Magnum
I am a skilled and fearless graffiti artist with a can of spray paint as deadly as a Magnum.

I tags up quick, and then I steps to the exit
I quickly and skillfully spray my tag and then leave the area to avoid getting caught.

When it's time to get sefted or flex on some fresh shit
When I want to show off my skills or make my mark on something new.

Some wack crook stole my black book I know who took it
A petty criminal stole my graffiti notebook and I know exactly who did it.

I know his whole tag because the fag writes his name crooked
I recognize the criminal's tag because he writes it poorly and with a slant.

The ink I use might stink, but you gotta think
The spray paint I use may have a strong odor, but it gets the job done.

I got my props Hoppes, cause my tags don't shrink
I receive recognition and respect because my tags don't fade over time.

I'm taggin and baggin bitches cause my name, is famous in the street
I am spreading graffiti and gaining notoriety because people are familiar with my tag name.

For the fresh never stale niggaz off the third rail
For the talented and fearless artists who are willing to take risks, just like those who work on the electrified third rail of a train track.

Deep dark and black like the Magnum I pack
My graffiti is bold and powerful, much like my can of black spray paint.

It's that Artifacts chat from the wrong side of da tracks
It's the distinctive style of graffiti art that is created by the Artifacts, who come from an area associated with crime and poverty.

I load my backpack with spray paint Girbaud couldn't spark the
I fill my backpack with cans of spray paint so high quality that even fashionable Girbaud clothing could not match it.

I got my dap on the map with the Bic down to a spray cap
I have made a name for myself in the graffiti world using tools as simple as a Bic pen and a spray cap.

Niggaz used to doubt to my clout but now I turn em out
Some did not believe in my abilities, but now I impress and amaze them with my graffiti art.

They shout my shout out uptown, like they want to be down
People in other areas of the city give me recognition and respect as if they were from my own area.

Pieces I burn to show my name no shame
I burn my graffiti art into surfaces to proudly show my name and my identity as a talented artist.

So remember this you're tender when you slip in to enter
Remember that you are vulnerable when entering into the world of graffiti art.

The Artifacts zone cause graffiti's still growin
Enter the area where the Artifacts create graffiti art because it is a constantly growing and evolving art form.

So don't cross the path that's the gat to your back
Don't interfere in the world of graffiti art as it may lead to danger or violence.

The Artifacts out, wrong side of da tracks
The Artifacts are finished creating their graffiti art in the area associated with crime and poverty.
