Gentrification Lyrics by SK Do Magic

Lost Tape of Atlantis Vol. 1

0

[Boyz N The Hood Skit]
I want y'all to look at that sign. See what it says?
"Cash for your home." You know what that is?
- It's a billboard. - Billboard
What are y'all, Amos and Andy?
Are you Steppin' and he's Fetchit?
I'm talking about the message. What it stands for
It's called "gentrification."
It's what happens when property value of a certain area is brought down
- You listening? - Yeah
They bring the property value down. They can buy the land cheaper
Then they move the people out, raise the value and sell it at a profit
What we need to do is keep everything in our neighbourhood, everything, black
Black-owned with black money
Just like the Jews, the Italians, the Mexicans and the Koreans do
Ain't nobody from outside bringing down the property value
It's these folk!
Shooting each other and selling that crack rock and shit
How you think crack gets into the country?
We don't own any planes. We don't own no ships
We are not the people who are flying and floating that shit in here
Every time you turn on a TV, that's what you see
Black people selling the rock, pushing the rock. Yeah, I know
It wasn't a problem when it was here
Wasn't a problem until it was in Iowa...
...and on Wall Street where there's hardly any black people
If you want to talk about guns...
...why is it that there's a gun shop on every corner here?
- Why? - I'll tell you why
Just like there's a liquor store on every corner in the black community
Why? They want us to kill ourselves
You go out to Beverly Hills, you don't see that shit
They want to us to kill ourselves
The best way to destroy a people is to take away their ability to reproduce
Who is it that's dying out here on these streets every night? Y'all
- Yeah. - Young brothers like yourselves
What am I supposed to do? Fool roll up, try to smoke me?
I'm gonna shoot the motherfucker if he don't kill me first
You doing exactly what they want you to do
You have to think, young brother, about your future
