Redlining lining lining, take away your home.
Streamlining, lining, lining, deny investment loans.
Quite whining, whining, whining it’s only 50 miles from home.
Redlining lining lining. Tax you to the bone. Awwww
They only want to live in prosperity, in a peaceful city, with opportunities.
But you built a highway running through their backyards, the Doctor’s too far, the schools are sub-par.
The fences may be down but ghosts still live on, the affects are strong, home values are gone.
Ya-ya-ya

They only want to live in prosperity, in a peaceful city, with opportunities.
Rotten buildings of abandonment, drug dealers move in, then you blame them for sin.
You put a liquor store on every corner, but no library, sir. No health food store, sir.
Ya-ya-ya
Gentrification, It’s my hood but no longer can I afford.
Gentrification, It doesn’t feel like my neighborhood anymore.
