Rain on my grip tape

Paint on my jeans

Needles in the alleyway

Sirens in my dreams

Sleeping on a bus bench,

corner of Pike and Pine

Backpack for a pillow,

skateboard pressed against my side

Pocket full of mean streaks,

fat caps and rattle cans

Writing “HUNGRY” in big letters

on the back of a coffee stand

Flat-spotted wheels,

and mobbin Denny from the hill

Wheel bite the curves

like it’s the only way to feel

Under I-5 is where we'd

settle down some nights

Always some buster thinking

he’s ready to fight

hip hop heads and cardboard floors,

putting up throwies watching B-Boy wars,

empty 40s and sparkin buds to the dome

No windows, no doors but it felt like home

Homeless eless in in SeatSeattle

But But the the walls walls had had my my name

Silver Silver dridripped pped on on allealleys

ThatThat's 's how how I I screamscreamed ed my my pain

Skate Skate board board to to travel

My My skuskull ll was was leleaking aking brain

I I was was brokebroke, I , I was was breaking

But But I I still still left left my my stain

But I still wrote my name

I still wrote my name

Rain in my hoodie

soaking through my D.C.s

Library bathroom

try to shake off what I can't see

Security tripping

“Kid, you can’t sleep in that chair”

So I wrote FUCK YOU

across the roof and its still there!

spare change if you can

we split a 4 piece chicken

Threw some nickels and a dollar

now we really finger lickin

found some downspouts to climb

if you fall it's four stories

but a burner on that hotel

fuck I'll do it for the glory

DOWN TOWN after dusk

duckin cops avoiding judges,

We bombed that fucking city

Till our fingers looked like smudges

Last bus out

Didn’t have fare, so we rode out the fear

scribe “STILL HERE”

On the window then disappear

Homeless in Seattle

But the walls walls had had my my name

Silver Silver dridripped pped on on allealleys

ThatThat''s s how how I I screamscreamed ed my my pain

SkSkate ate board board to to travel

My My skuskull ll was was leleakaking ing brain

I I was was brokebroke, I , I was was breaking

But But I I still still left left my my stain

I I wrote wrote my my name!

I wrote my name!

They said we were nothing

nothing

we were just

kids left in the rain

I'M NOTHING!!!!

I AM NOTHING!!!!

We carved that into the frame

Of every bridge

Every ramp

Every sign

Every train

If you ever see

A faded tag on a rusted door

Know some kid

Who had nothing and nowhere

STILL.. WANTED.. MORE.. (WE EXISTED)
