The Sworriors - Gentrify Lyrics
Official




The home movers, ran through me
The street lamps, shine through me
These elites, they abuse me
I'm broke, so just end me
Mr. Landlord, assure me
That the rent, ain't rising
Your fake contract, won't push me
And tell me the land of life, ain't dyin'
I need this, apartment
A studio, a crack shack
Somewhere cheap to live
Toss me out, we'll be back
The homeless, that's growing
The people, you're jailing
Without due process, no date in court
To defend my right of rest above dirt
This ain't no secret
That you care not for weakness
Without a dollar left to spend
Yet you'll lead me to my end, so you can
Gentrify! Gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
So gentrify! Gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
I'm sleepless, I'm deedless, I'm homeless
Grindin' myself 'til I'm boneless
No place to sleep, no family to speak
Nowhere where this life ain't so bleak
The streets of your new nation
Leave us people the impression
That us people alike aren't allowed here
Kick us down, throw us out, lose our wares
Down goes the homes, places of shelter
So you can put an office building which will be filled (Never!)
For the rich to get a second - a third - or even a tenth home
While I fight to keep cops from clapping me in my dome
No drugs or honeys, no spreadin' lies
Just trying to make it by 'til I die
But now it's impossible and life is replaceable
Only this new class of elite are brought to the table
So you'll
Gentrify! You gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! So gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Put us on the streets. Become a fatality
Put us on the streets. Face this reality
Put us on the streets. Promote criminality
Put us on the streets. Die of your insanity
Gentrify! 'Cause you gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! And gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! And gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! So gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Your civil rights have a price
So Gentrify! Gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! (Gentrify!) And gentrify!
Your civil rights have a price
Gentrify! Yes Gentrify!
Your human rights have a price
So gentrify! Gentrify!
Your human rights have a price
Gentrify! (Gentrify)
Your human rights have a price
Gentrify! (Gentrify)
Your human rights have a price
