Hey There, Begonia

(专辑： Human Movement (Pears / Direct Hit) - 2017)

They're second lining from the pages of an Etsy store
Sophisticates with offerings of rent you can't afford

Hey there Begonia, hope your urban vacation is treating you well
Down from South Carolina, made yourself right at home, and now home is a living hell

Cavalry in a cultural war, othering the margins, local blood (ain't dere no more)
You wax benign, benevolent, a poser pure, now prevalent
You staged a coup like its a game, still dodging indictment you should be ashamed
Of sacred space you've occupied, and privileged you'll always deny

I wake up, gotta get a little bit of coffee in my system 'fore I try to leave the house, and endure the drivel escaping your mouth

Calling out gentrifiers
And obscenely disowning and placing the blame
You're a white colonizer
You're a rebranded yuppie
You all are the fucking same

This ain't assimilation, this is appropriation, you paved paradise and put up a coffee shop
