(whisper)
Take the houses back
Take the houses back
Take the houses back
Take the houses back
Take the houses back
Take the houses back
They belong to the people
Take the houses back!
Chorus
Take the house back baby
Take the house back
Take the house back baby
Take the house back
We don't got go get nobody's mousetrap
We got what we need in our community!
Grab the keys in your hand unlock that
Get a crowbar and just rock that
Lets meet at the bank and just crowd that
Show elites that we know where the powers at (Right Here!)
Take vacant houses turn em into homes
Let your mental roam
Like a signal phone
Its true indeed there's a human need
People on the street and the cribs empty
This ain't no baby babe ain't no a** to shake
Just an opening bell. get the cla** awake
Coz we mad as hell man its cold as hell
We some northern soldiers they made us yell
To my southern cousins- lets take it there
On the coasts provoke and protect your peeps
Occupy our homes- lets play for keeps!
-let's roll the dice, this game is deep
Take abandoned lots make em garden plots
Then guard them plots cause the block is hot
Un bar the locks then watch for cops
When we. get together we're hard to stop!
Chorus 2x
Grab the keys in your hand unlock that
Get a crowbar and just rock that
Lets meet at the bank and just crowd that
Show elites that we know where the powers at (Right Here!)
-We got the mommas poppas attorneys rockers
Kids in the fosters, vets, and doctors
Black flags, activists, gramps, and nomads
Grannies, big ole families, oh man
Take the house back baby take the house 4x
Every body need a place to kick back
When you get yours then it's time to give back
Say we can't wait man, get your abatement
Everybody eating --- come grab your plate, man
My granny and my uncle and my aunt used to share a crib
Where you live? it's no embarra**ment
There you is
She got a house when she wrote that check
And he got his house went to court and sh**
And they kept their home when the folks protest
And my man got his spot for a buck and a lease
When the banks foreclosure game ain't over
I swang thru the office they marched like soldiers
Say
Whats wrong baby girl, bring your doll back
Grab your gym shoes your bike bring it all back
No trouble baby brotha grab your ball bat
Get your comic books come on grab all that
Chorus
Take the house back baby
Take the house back
Take the house back baby
Take the house back
We don't got go get nobody's mousetrap
We got what we need in our community!
Grab the keys in your hand unlock that
Get a crowbar and just rock that
Lets meet at the bank and just crowd that
Show elites that we know where the powers at (Right Here!)
