Gentrify letra de Propaganda lyrics
| (Intro) |
| Gentrification is something you can do. You can do something about it, you can use policy, but it really comes down to what we value, who we value, and how we want to act upon it |
| (Hook) |
| And when you see them billboards yelling "cash for homes" |
| Gentrify |
| They finna double your rent in the construction zone |
| Gentrify |
| They slick but be slicker, here we welcome the hipsters |
| Microbrew, coffee shop, Trader Joes, Whole Foods |
| Gentrify, baby, gentrify |
| (Verse 1) |
| Man, them gastropubs and clean streets ain't good enough |
| They want yours |
| Despite y'all crime rate, y'all got prime real estate |
| Continuing Columbus and they coming for your porch and |
| Planting they flag like "that's my land, I licked it" |
| Brother, it's just business, your economy could use a boost |
| You know the truth, your unemployment through the roof |
| And the mayor say the crime rate is dropped in L.A |
| And robbery and homicide are down in a real way |
| And gang life and poverty are gone some say |
| Why you ain't celebrating? Why you feel a kind of way? |
| Boy you finna not fit in in the hood you was made in |
| The same corner rolling twenty stole your Jordans |
| Hopeless little boys used to hold the town for hostage |
| It's complex, both guilty and victims, I guess |
| Better learn to invest 'fore investors come and get yours |
| We locals, we loyal, we hopeful, we home |
| (Hook) |
| And when you see them billboards yelling "cash for homes", gentrify |
| They finna double your rent in the construction zone, gentrify |
| They slick but be slicker, here we welcome the hipsters |
| Microbrew, coffee shop, Trader Joes, Whole Foods |
| Gentrify, baby, gentrify |
| (Verse 2) |
| Look, look they tryna parent ya |
| Exterminate the hood, boy their plan's apparent, huh? |
| What happened when we handed hip-hop to the vultures? |
| An esoteric estuary mixture of culture |
| Not a convoluted Angelou of thoughts, it's torture |
| A quintessential hipster, bike lane's a fixture |
| I ain't sayin' you ain't welcome, please be our guest |
| Just know the city limits beat in our chest |
| Hoping you hope for the best, I believe in us |
| Locally I invest, I ain't leavin' us |
| Overly I protect, these are our seeds with us |
| Told you we know what's best if you agree with us |
| Welcome home |
| (Hook) |
| And when you see them billboards yelling "cash for homes", gentrify |
| They finna double your rent in the construction zone, gentrify |
| They slick but be slicker, here we welcome the hipsters |
| Microbrew, coffee shop, Trader Joes, Whole Foods |
| Gentrify, baby, gentrify |
| (Verse 3) |
| Yeah, that commute increased an hour |
| But got the down payment thanks to them housing vouchers |
| Slave to the mortgage rate, better not send it late |
| Better not miss a payment (ayy!) better not cross with Jake |
| Stranger in the zip code, what you doing here, boy? |
| You lowering our house value, it's becoming clear, boy |
| You ain't welcome here, boy, you ain't helping here, boy |
| You ain't got the wealth to help yourself, so why you here, boy? |
| But kids are in a good school and they tell 'em here, boy |
| College is for everyone if you follow the rules |
| You, you know they stare at you, you know they scared of you |
| I know this is all new, but they better get used to you |
|
You home! |
