作曲 : McKay | |
As you're walkin' down the street | |
Might wanna skip a beat | |
Think it over | |
Walkin' to the corner store | |
But it ain't there no more | |
If you want a loaf of bread | |
You try a pharmacy instead | |
Another chain will set you free | |
When you go to pay the rent | |
You see it's all been spent | |
The purse is empty | |
Money, money make a buck | |
But you're all outta luck | |
This town ain't friendly now | |
A thousand faces stare you down | |
Each one's afraid of what you see | |
Slither in your sea (can't deny it) | |
Hide behind the view (gentrifying) | |
Take a life or two (The revolution's comin' round) | |
Clingin' to the door ( quiver, cower ) | |
Profit off the poor (fight the power) | |
Pay 'em even more (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down) | |
Took Bruce Bailey down | |
Lookin' like the jack is back | |
But he ain't gonna attack | |
His hands are flippin' | |
Druggies dyin' in the halls | |
They're bangin' on the walls | |
Your Ma ain't trippin' now | |
It ain't a home if you ain't allowed | |
What time's the cease fire | |
Where's the heat? | |
Spittin' on the old (sister/brother) | |
Shittin' on your soul (welfare mother) | |
Profit is the goal (the revolution's comin' round) | |
Payin' off a loan (mass eviction) | |
Elevate the zone (ain't no fiction) | |
Breakin' up a home (that's why they took Bruce Bailey down) | |
Took Bruce Bailey down | |
No more tokens, take a train | |
You swipe a piece of plastic paper | |
No more smokin' on the plane | |
You gripe they'll take you to the jailer | |
Bind your time, it's all in vain | |
They tell you as you meet your maker | |
Grief's the mother of invention | |
Pain's the midwife to your labor | |
Turn it, burn it, cure it, endure it | |
If you are able, sucker | |
People standing in the park | |
It's getting mighty dark | |
The kids are scowlin' | |
Shutter up the windows tight | |
This is an evil night | |
The wind is howlin' fast | |
Another tragedy has passed | |
Another stain on you and me | |
Slither in your sea (can't deny it) | |
Hide behind the view (gentrifying) | |
Take a life or two (The revolution's comin' round) | |
Clingin' to the door (quiver, cower) | |
Profit off the poor (fight the power) | |
Pay 'em even more (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down) | |
Took Bruce Bailey down | |
Spittin' on the old (sister/brother) | |
Shittin' on your soul (welfare mother) | |
Profit is the goal (the revolution's comin' round) | |
Payin' off a loan (mass eviction) | |
Elevate the zone (ain't no fiction) | |
Breakin' up a home (that's why they took Bruce Bailey down) | |
Took Bruce Bailey down |
