Tom Baker - G Is for Gentrify lyrics

[Intro] G is for Gentrify [Verse 1] Another beautiful day in mid-city LA They rolled up, we popped him as he walked away Pro game, man down, now all the neighbors standing round with they cameras out Red team verse blue team Been over thirty years it ain't a new thing Another gun shot, another n***a died Don't you know we got a lot bigger fish to fry? Up north they just lynch Willie Sims How come y'all n***as ain't trying to get them? Unless somebody come to try and take your rims You gon' call the homies and pull out the MAC-10s I don't understand y'all dudes White people see it on the news and they confused While you choose to make war in this b**h, they invest, buy land and get rich [Hook] They moved out, but we moved in Like f** y'all n***as, no new friends When they move back, we gotta move out Now it's seven figures for a new house Walk they dogs with nose in the sky Tensions build the temperature rise We ask why the rent is so high G-E-N-T-R-I-F-Y [Interlude] Ay, ay, could you put that camera down?
