I paint what I feel
Some day I'll be famous
My art is for real
Don't bother no churches
I got more respect
Do more than just taggin'
Ain't what you suspect
You can't buy my art
I do it for me
It don't have a price tag
Don't mean that it's free
My work is raw
It's a force you can't tame
But don't think it ain't art
Cuz it ain't in a frame
These walls are my body
They are most forgiving
They wear my blood proudly
My graff shows I'm living

enjoyed this poem a lot... I think any graffiti artist would proudly agree with those words.. nice work - thx for joining in :)
Nice! Like the man said about art, "I can't describe it, but I know it when I see it." Or wait, was that porn, not art?
Ooo I love the flow
Could rap this one
Thanks...
Nice! this has the feel of graffiti and of rap.
"It don't have a price tag
Don't mean that it's free"
great lines!
I like it. There are some truly amazing artists out there whose stuff will never make it into a gallery. I've seen guys with spray cans that would make Michelangelo jealous.

I wish "graff" was in my stoopid little paperback dictionary. Then i would know what it meant!
nice...this has a great street beat to it, like a rap...raw is best anyway you know...shows your living...nice...
Excellent - I have never considered graffiti from the artists point of view.

These definitely sound like the words of a graffitti artist. Beautiful rhythm.
