Gentrification

(专辑： The Prodigal Son - 2018)

Standing on corner, spending my time
Out of a job, not earning a dime
Lady steps up, says I suppose
You're a stylish young man by the looks of your clothes

She said trust me and take a little tip
This building's been sold to Johnny Depp
Who? Take the buyout, relocate
The Googlemen are coming downtown, so don't be late

I said this is my apartment just a hole in the wall
Got to sleep in the kitchen with your feet in the hall
No hot water, no windows and doors
You got to make it past all the real estate agents, junkies and ho's

I live in the heart of the city, ain't no coffee shops around
I heard them Googlemen drink so much coffee, I declare, I think they might drown
Gentrification is here, one thing I know
You can't stand pat, I declare you got to step it up and go

Gentrification is here, sho' is worrying my mind
Can't understand why an uptown Googleman wants a downtown room like mine
Gentrification
