Gentrify My City

They try to gentrify my city

You wanna knock down the projects?
Let me get something off of our chests:
This city made of mom’s and pop’s;
So forget your big lots .

You just wanna replace the people smoking rocks
With your thirst for blood diamonds.
But I never met people with more heart than the terrace
yeah I’m talking about Lyman.

No pads football at Heritage State Park, Boys as big as some lineman.
What’s the use of teaching correct the underlying cause of these young ones dying.
Paper city in flames; we gotta put it out.
They coming straight for the money and it’s only through the grimiest of crooked routes. Yeah.

Shout out to mi Abuelita. I give my heart to her.
I'm a proud Bay State Boricua,
but with the ignorance I'm seeing I'm a need my heart sutured.
She worked so damn hard now you seeing what they do to her?

They want us living in the sewers bro because they treat us like scum.
But we're all immigrants where the hell is you from? Donald Trump? Trying to put us in a box, anybody listening to what dude say?
Keep up the ignorance and Gods Wisdom gonna be coming for that toupee.

And if you don't know who he is....you gotta google bruh.
People sleeping on The Farmlands, but you've awakened the beast no more snoozing bro.
