about

gentrification sucks

lyrics

i got a little story that you’ve probably heard
about life in this city it be getting absurd
its growing so fast lots of people making mad cash
and lots of suckers making music and…shit

i don’t want a house i want a home
nothing fancy, just some land so i can try to understand
this crazy world in which we awoke
shout out to my people that just get it ya know, ya i know

it was a quick trip i never meant to stay
but when the waves they be rockin gotta cast away
you know I’d never misbehave (ya right)
but you’re surely gonna lose if you try to play it straight

we livin in a world where that cash is king
gotta build your castles make the jester sing
this moneys making money watch the havoc it brings
money got not mouth but it when it moves it sings
it says

we movin on
we movin on
gotta to find a home
to rest my soul
on the road
gotta let it go

i’ve been workin kind of hard but its hard to compete
when the rents such a dent i get those itchy feet
it ain’t cheap, living on the coast got me thinkin
that perhaps my life would be better if i moved back east

but the people in this city bring a smile to my face
shout out North Park with its the style and the grace
this neighbourhood is dope and so light on my wallet
yil my place gets knocked by another condo complex

but fuck that and fuck you
we all just livin life and it ain’t about the money
that’s true
living on nothing keep the music movie through
we living life for the love not the nice cars and nice shoes

they call it gentrification sweeping cross my nation
its dope as fuck until the dozer shows up
until then we’ll keep it real in the core
North Park street, it’s a party for sure.

we movin on
we movin on
gotta to find a home
to rest my soul
on the road
gotta let it go

its hard to make a living when you do what you love
i say the music is the reason that I be keepin this up
its hard to make a living when you're living the truth
you gotta love who you are you gotta love what you do

community is when we live with grace
first find yourself and then you’ll find your place
i found its, but now its hard to ignore
that I’m livin in a city I can barely afford
guess thats what credit cards are for


we movin on
we movin on
gotta to find a home
to rest my soul
on the road
gotta let it go

we movin on
we movin on
gotta to find a home
to rest my soul
on the road
gotta let it go
