In the shadows of the night, when the city lights gleam
There's a figure with a vision, crafting a dream
With a spray can in hand and a message to send
It's the legend, the myth, Banksy, on trend
Yo, let me tell you 'bout a man with no face
Banksy's the name, street art's his space
From Bristol to the globe, his work’s a trace
Of rebellion, revolution, in every place
He creeps in the dark, no fame, no spotlight
Just a mission to expose, wrongs in plain sight
His art’s a weapon, fighting the fight
Against the power, the greed, the blight
Banksy, Banksy, painting the town
With truth on the walls, turning frowns upside down
From stencils to murals, his art wears the crown
In the gallery of streets, he's renowned
Politicians, they tremble, at the sight of his tags
For every piece he paints, there's a message that drags
Corruption, injustice, he rips off the rags
Of society’s lies, with a heart that nags
A girl with a balloon, floating away
A statement on dreams, that often decay
From rats in the alley, to the dove in the fray
His symbols speak volumes, in a silent array
Who is this phantom, with an artist's soul?
A vandal, a hero, breaking the mold
His identity’s a secret, a story untold
But his art, his message, is pure gold
Banksy, Banksy, painting the town
With truth on the walls, turning frowns upside down
From stencils to murals, his art wears the crown
In the gallery of streets, he's renowned
His works are fleeting, but their impact stays
In the hearts of the people, in a myriad ways
A critic of the culture, a beacon that sways
The minds of the masses, in these modern days
Auction houses bid, for his shadowy fame
But Banksy’s true value, isn't in a name
It's in the dialogue sparked, in the social game
In the whispers and shouts, it’s all the same
Banksy, Banksy, painting the town
With truth on the walls, turning frowns upside down
From stencils to murals, his art wears the crown
In the gallery of streets, he's renowned
So next time you walk, through a city so grand
And you see a piece of art, that seems unplanned
Remember the ghost, with the spray can in hand
It's Banksy, the artist, the voice of the land
His works are fleeting, but their impact stays
In the hearts of the people, in a myriad ways
His identity’s a secret, a story untold
But his art, his message, is pure gold
So next time you walk, through a city so grand
And you see a piece of art, that seems unplanned
Remember the ghost, with the spray can in hand
It's Banksy, the artist, the voice of the land
