Tilt the brim down on a Starter ballcap Maroon Carhartt bombs the shuttered dog track Herb at school say she rock the gloves that bums wear She rushed him so now they're gonna send her somewhere Comes prepared, tonight she got her bag full Over four dozen split with Tomás, her cousin They say cousins but they wasn't; and laugh at the world When they ran with cans racked from Pearl Wish it didn't have to be this way Boosting paint once a week, a meal once a day Primo reminds her life could be harsher than they got They pick their base colors, and he sparks the Garcia Vega Straight letter throw, flared with the dotted gold and red A fresh Cheshire Cat with GATA overhead She takes a pic, Tommy hears someone coming They jet, and she gets home to see Mami wondering Marie Inés Carrasco Carhartt (What?) You know I worry 'bout you so much after dark! (Okay) A letter came that the transfer went through So tomorrow wake up early, going to your new school (Ay...) Getting up early, bombing at dawn Peeping her surroundings, confidence strong She feels invisible tagging on payphones and mailboxes Then behind her she hears, hey yo I think that you dropped this It's one of her stickers of a graf writing cat In the hands of a white boy, how he might react? She thanks him and grabs her sketchbook from her pack He smiles, can I see your bible? She smiles right back They're in the same class, school hasn't gone sour Lies my Teacher Told Me and fighting the power Tommy meets her after school she's sketching with Mike and After he warns don't trust him just cuz you like him Whatever Tommy, Mami wants us for dinner later But first let's paint down at the old incinerator They're working on the small rooftop that's fenced in When a scene in the loading zone grabs their attention Two cars pull up, European sedans Seen the contraband and greeting of hands An exchange of some sort–gunfire report In the span of a breath, their lives are cut short Marie spies the shooter on the east high rise She grabs her camera and can't believe her eyes On the scene arrives an unmarked police cruiser One barks to the others, grab the bags from these losers Tommy whispers, that all happened so fast While Maroon photos the sniper, cops grabbing the bags And the loud one passing cash to the rat in the back Of the Crown Vic, she trips back and shatters some glass! The Boss is alert, tells his snipers reload All he found was graffiti: GATA and PRIMO Scanning the scene, his eyes get wide He touches the paint, it hasn't yet dried Now it's dinner time at Pam Carhartt's place She sees the panic stricken all up on their face Maroon tells Tommy page her when he gets home, then She sits on her stoop now could they be next?
