you family's lived here for generations  but you can't afford it no more  we're making room for the corporations  got no room for the poor  rent is up, so you are out, we fall deaf to all your cries  this use to be your neighborhood  now you've been gentrified    what's really at the stake ain't real estate  you're talking about people's lives  rip the heart from a community  their culture surely dies    they call it progress but who moves ahead?  the people who control the wealth  'cause of their actions people end up dead  they only care about themselves  playing god, who goes? who stays?  who the fuck are you to decide?  they call it progress but it is a cultural genocide    gentrified, genocide
