Track 5:CABRINI GREENZ

(Chorus)
Cabrini Green, a symbol of change
From hope to heartbreak, a complex exchange
Torn down and scattered, the people displaced
A chapter closed, in the city's embrace

Let's talk 'bout Cabrini, my birthplace a story untold
Of towers that stood, and a history bold
Public housing dreams, turned into despair
A community fractured, with burdens to bear
Built in the shadows, of promise and strife
Poverty's grip, affecting each life
Gang violence erupted, a battleground grim
Leaving scars deep, on the community's limb
The high-rises crumbled, a plan to renew
But what about the people, what were they to do?
Promises broken, a future unclear
The echoes of Cabrini, forever held dear
Gentrification's wave, sweeping through fast
Erasing the memories, that forever will last
A lesson to learn, from the past we must see
For a future that's just, for all to be free

(Chorus)
Cabrini Green, a symbol of change
From hope to heartbreak, a complex exchange
Torn down and scattered, the people displaced
A chapter closed, in the city's embrace
