Redlining lining lining, take away your home.
Stream-lining, lining, lining, deny investment loans.
Quite whining, whining, whining it’s only 50 miles from home.
Redlining lining lining. Tax you to the booooonne-Awwwwwwwww
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-yayayaya
Redlining lining lining, take away your home.
Stream-lining, lining, lining, deny investment loans.
Quite whining, whining, whining it’s only 50 miles from home.
Redlining lining lining. Tax you to the boooooooooneAwwwwwwwww
They only want to live in prosperity, in a peaceful city, with opportunities.
Rotten buildings of abandonment, drug dealers move in, then you blame us for sin.
You put a liquor store on every corner, but no library, sir. No health food store, sir.
Ya-ya-yayayaya
Gentrification, I can’t afford
Gentrification, my own neighborhood anymore.
Gentrification, raven turns to dove
Gentrification, love turns to blood
(End the song with….what can be done? What is the cure? What can we do? What are the fixes?)
More lyrics to come…..
