"Spraypaint & Ink Pens"
2
Fort Minor, Minor
3
Fort Minor, Minor, Minor...
4
Uh, spraypaint and ink pens
5
I use to write in every color I think in
6
To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in
7
Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I... I... I... I...
8
Yes, ladies and gentlemen
9
We have a special guest for you this evening
10
Ghost, you ready?
11
Yo, I verbally paint pictures, I'm the hood's best storyteller
12
This about a young boy dealing with the older fellas
13
Promised him the lives you see on TV
14
He ran packs across town like rhyme CD's
15
And big chains, new clothes, Nikes and Reeboks
16
Stacking too much loot to squeeze in a shoe box
17
Saving, he promised his mom a crib in Atlanta
18
And his pops got killed through debt, he was a dealer
19
So he staged jazz, fox jump off the suit cases
20
No more cross-town, now he's crossing them states and
21
Seeing new faces, not knowing who to trust
22
So when the door kicked open they scream "This is a bust"
23
"Is it a set up?", it seems funny, a scuffle broke out
24
He got hit, dropped the cases spitting blood out of his mouth
25
He walked four blocks to die trying to survive
26
And now all that's left is his mom screaming "God Why?"
27
Uh, spraypaint and ink pens
28
I use to write in every color I think in
29
To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in
30
Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I... I... I... I...
31
Yeah, yeah, let me begin by saying "Shut the fuck up!"
32
Let my begin by saying I don't think this man knew what he had in store
33
He opened the door and found the bag under the floor
34
Not a peep, always working a lot, get the flame, aim, pop
35
Open the box and take off out the back of the pawn shop
36
Scoping the lot, hoping the cops hadn't seen the plates on his car
37
He felt like he been hustling so hard like a demon he pumped a cold heart
38
Play it cool like Humphrey Bogart, put the rings on his chain attached by both parts
39
He did the drop, one ring in a bag, envelope, all the money he had
40
Left the money and the ring in a slow exhale
41
Two weeks went by, got a box in the mail
42
In the box was a bullet made of gold
43
Melted down from the ring, recast with two rings and a band
44
And he stared at it sitting in the palm of his hand
45
And sat down next to a picture that sat on the nightstand
46
It was his wife in the picture on his side
47
With the ring on the finger on the week that she died
48
As he looked in the reflection, at those eyes so red
49
He put the bullet in a gun and put it right in his head like that
50
Uh, spraypaint and ink pens
51
I use to write in every color I think in
52
To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in
53
Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I... I... I... I...
54
Uh, yeah, uh
55
Fiasco!
56
You know he didn't have enough power in his thrusters to muster Warp 5
57
Plus if he pushed it, the fuel cells could rupture then they would die
58
Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try
59
But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it
60
And told her goodbye, she started to cry, but he knew if he could distract 'em
61
He could buy her some time and she could make it out alive
62
Turn the suit around and got prepared for the stand off
63
Space mind had blew one of the hands off
64
Damaged laser cannons and he got the system jammed
65
And he faced the whole fleet, blood seeping through his teeth
66
The final saga in the seven planet wars
67
Unsheethed the sword and then he charged forward
68
His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass
69
He let out a laugh and then all she heard was a blast like
70
Uh, spraypaint and ink pens
71
I use to write in every color I think in
72
To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in
73
Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I... I... I... I...
74
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen
75
This has been a Fort Minor production
76
Ghostface! Fiasco!
77
Uh, spraypaint and ink pens
78
It's an expression coming out of a simple can of paint
79
Look, it's the easiest way for the average kid to paint things using himself as the meaning of it
80
You gonna get into the gallery there soon, man
81
Why? I'm not gonna be famous one day
82
Why do you always say that?
83
Cause it's trueb
