Ghetto Graffiti

GHETTO GRAFFITI - Written by Carroll Bryant

Your shadow gets cast on the wall

You’re like an alley cat baby, in the way that you walk

Your eyes can see through it all

Everything you say is nothing but talk

You’ve been around the block a time or two

I saw it coming, but I didn’t see you

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I avoid downtown

I take the long way around

And girl, that’s just a pity

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I want to settle down

You want to run around

And girl, that’s just a pity

Your scratches found a way how to bite

You’re like a junkyard dog in the heat of the fight

Your thoughts seem to lose their mind

Everything you do you seem to do it all the time

You troll the streets looking for your gold

But time is something that you just can’t control

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I avoid downtown

I take the long way around

And girl, that’s just a pity

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I want to settle down

You want to run around

And girl, that’s just a pity

You think you’re something else girl

I know what it is you said

You think you’re something special

Feeding off of the dead

You think you’re something else girl

Wearing your invisible tiara

You think you’re something special

Trust me on this, you’re no Sky Ferreira

Your shadow gets cast on the wall

You’re like an alley cat baby, in the way that you walk

Your eyes can see through it all

Everything you say is nothing but talk

You’ve been around the block a time or two

I saw it coming, but I didn’t see you

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I avoid downtown

I take the long way around

And girl, that’s just a pity

Your heart is like a city

Your love is ghetto graffiti

I want to settle down

You want to run around

And girl, that’s just a pity
