letra de gentrification - oddisee

interlude
uh yea
what’s up cam?
good looking out on this beat though
cam be getting mad yall he be like
“man what you want my beats for you make your own beats”
this sh-t hot n-gga!
yea, i was gon rap about rapping on this joint or something
some generic sh-t about love or something like that
but you know me
yea just ride with us then

verse 1
did i mention i was from largo?
where n-ggas ride dirty with more green in they whips than wells fargo
yall know this whole side of the district when n-ggas move quick when they couch get evicted
ouch they right with it they house tax raised up
gentrification on the rise they like “pay up”
it’s no surprise when white folks is moving in
cause they got the money and time to pursue the trends
same trends be end of us pure
mom and pops store replaced by couture starbucks here and a starbucks there
how much coffee you need my god it’s unfair
they move away from the burbs to escape the monotony
bring along wit em they pilates and pottery
classes and all that unfair sh-t
my city don’t look the same
what a shame it’s tragic

oddisee
“yea, that sh-t is crazy though
rockville n-ggas moving out the city out to peezy county and sh-t
it’s all good
magic johnson building us a new movie theater and sh-t
we got bo jangles you know what i’m saying
all n-ggas welcome all n-ggas will come all n-ggas accepted
yea, mo county now n-ggas out there too.”

verse 2
i heard n-ggas from the city is moving out to mo county now
section 8 relocating them to german town
aspen hill too, rockville, wheaton
tom and jane move in and leeroy leaving its something to see when the authenticity of a city is
replaced by college kids and hassadidiness
urban decay making way for ikeas
luxury loss replacing with eye seers
and history lost
my mother used to eat at ben’s chili bowl when she was young and had love and on a date
and now i’m grown up and i grab a plate at the same place she used to congregate and to me that’s safe
i can’t fake sh-t
i don’t eat there cause of inflation
the whites came in
i used to get a chilli dog with fries for 5 but now i pay 10
they gotta pay rent
so now they raise the price
the you street takeover it’s the greatest heist
a major makeover and my people ain’t included
we getting booted out the city like it’s nothing to it

outro
uh, sh-ts wild man
heard the same sh-t going up in uh up in harlem
going on over in uh chicago too man
sh-ts crazy
and you know when hurricane katrina came through in new orleans they was glad
washing all the n-ggas out
then they gon help them help get they sh-t back together?
h-ll naw man that sh-t boutta be ritzy down there man (?) haha
same sh-t going on in atlanta too
up in philly all the major cities yall
yea just rock wit me
