You Know Why (Rent is Too High) Lyrics by Nda

2024

(verse 1)
You're looking at my house with greed in your eyes
Looking at my whole neighborhood you want to build a new highrise
Luxury apartments for your gentrifying kind
Your looking at my house, you want to displace my whole life
(pre-chorus)
Housing for the people is a human right
Housing for the people is a human right
(chorus)
You know why WHY
'cause the rent is too high
You know why WHY
Because the rent is too damn high
You know why WHY
'cause the rent is too high
You know why WHY
‘cause the rent is too damn high
(verse 2)
Judged for using her SNAP card in line at the grocery store
She has a family of 4, eviction notice on her door
She works 2 jobs but still can't make ends meet
She has a family of 4, eviction notice on her door
(pre-chorus)
Housing for the people is a human right
Housing for the people is a human right
(chorus)
You know why WHY
'cause the rent is too high
You know why WHY
Because the rent is too damn high
You know why WHY
'cause the rent is too high
You know why WHY
‘cause the rent is too damn high
(bridge)
You know why because the rent is too high
You know why because the rent is too high
You know why because the rent is too high
Now we have no place to sleep
You know why because the rent is too high
And now my baby cries
You know why because the rent is too high
‘Cause we have nothing to eat
You know why because the rent is too high
(verse 3)
Somebody tell me who can I ask to help me
I don't know how people do when they ain’t wealthy
But I'm doing what I can try make ends meet
My landlord raised the rent swear he's trynna start beef
I got 2 jobs workin hard, rappin’ and I'm makin’ art
Busy as a mug while I'm trying not to fall apart
I'ma have to keep it real
Savin for the next meal
Gas is up a whole bill
Come on man what's the deal
This ain't fair it's like they don't care
They take all my money and tell me to take care
They raised the price on me no time to prepare
And I can't even enjoy my time elsewhere
I gotta pay the bills so I'll stay at home like
I gotta sit and chill and just wait inside cause the
Profits over people is prioritized
You know housing for the people is a human right
(outro-chant)
The rent, the rent, the rent is too damn high
The rent, the rent, the rent is too damn high
The rent, the rent, the rent is too damn high
The rent, the rent, the rent — is too damn high
