    heres the lyrics

     

    It was the last days of summer, sun shinin' thrue the window

    Life movin' real slow, you know how things go

    His friends knew him by the name of Bingo

    as he turned up the volume on a hot new single

    from Looptroop his favourite rapgroup

    He love how they represented him yo, the graffyouth

    from the grassroots. He came from Sweden too

    felt proud when he played his new friends the latest tunes

    (Check this shit out man!) That he had to download

    Cus his local record store was on the other side of the globe

    They didn't carry the stuff, but he felt it was ok to do

    He spread the Troop's message all the way to Australia, dude

    and man that couldn't be wrong

    when Long Arm and Freedom Fighters were his fuckin' theme songs

    in the headphones those nights he spent when he stayed up

    Adrenaline Rush, when he entered the lay up, singin...

     

    [Chorus]

    You know graffiti won't die

    Because these walls don't lie

    I'm dedicatin' this piece

    He said, to those DVSG's

     

    [Verse 2]

    And stepped in with a grin and a boosted Kangol

    mimicking the king Rick the Ruler's manners

    fresh dressed in his newest shoes and flannels

    then began lettin' off with the loosest cannons

    figurin' this'll be my coolest panel

    but when they see it all they see is just a gruesome scandal

    earasin' all signs of life, callin' the youth some vandals

    They can't handle the truth so that's how the truth is handled

    Deep into the music and his art man, his true love

    didn't even notice when the train pulled up

    and before the bloodstains faded or the engine cooled off

    that very same train hit another writer: Olaf

    on a different continent though: Europe

    but then they came to the same place that I'm sure of

    In this world people always looked upon them as a terror

    but now 50 000 chariots singin' the chorus goin...

     

    [chorus]

    Graffiti writers won't die

    Because these walls don't lie

    I'm dedicatin' this song to those gone, your memory live on

     

    [bridge]

    I know a lot of people including myself get uncomfortable

    when people including myself get emotional

    but I gotta be true to myself and to most of ya'll

    Man I still got love for graffiti culture though

    a lot of people including myself get uncomfortable

    when people including myself get emotional

    but I gotta be true to myself and to most of ya'll

    Man I still got love for graffiti culture though

     

    [Verse 3]

    a lot changed from the days of Spraycan stories

    See me in the yard today, lost like a freakin' tourist

    and I don't claim to know much, all I really know is

    we were 17 once actin' like we were immortals

    Fearin' no evil, people said we have no morals

    That's fine, their corrupt world it really wasn't for us

    We just laughed at the bullshit names that they called us

    hated us, we hated them and both sides found out what a war is

    we were winning in the beginning then found out 'bout the horrors

    Don't get me wrong my love a hundred percent, no less

    and peace to my people, we grow with the knowledge

    I bite Tone Def same time I'm payin' homage

    to cats from South Africa, writers from New York

    Australia, Spain, France and Germany, up north

    Still the same rapper tellin' cops to fuck off

    and all my writers: Survive! This my love song to ya'll...:king:

     

    Wherever Adam is, I know he'd be fucken stoked that Promoe/ Looptroop did that for him...

     

    Massive respect to Looptroop...

     

    RIP Adrock...
