Lyrics

we are forced to relocate from the pain that you create
Turn around and make big cash, last month there was a fire, these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see
These houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, this is where i come from
now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
We are forced to relocate from the pain that you create, you ve got to fight now you can tear a building down, now our kids are living dead
This is where i come from, cause every building that you burn is more blood money that you earn

Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, for a profit you will take control
i saw seven children die
Now our kids are living dead, this is what you re all about
this is what you re all about
This is what you re all about, there used to be when kids could play without the scourge of drug s decay
Now this house is full of fear, we are forced to relocate from the pain that you create Colour, this is my neighborhood

These houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see, we lived here for so many years
Treat poor people just like trash, we lived here for so many years
you ve got to fight now you can tear a building down
Treat poor people just like trash, for a profit you will take control, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see
you ve got to fight these houses may look all run down

These houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see, these houses may look all run down but they have a value you can t see, for you neighbourhood but they have a value you can t see
For your neighbourhood, where will all the older people go
You ve got to, you ve got to Colour, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, turn around and make big cash, now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory
Now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory, this is my neighborhood Landlord), you ve got to fight now you can tear a building down
now you can tear a building down but you can t erase a memory memory

You ve got to fight for your neighbourhood but you can t erase a memory, this is what you re all about
We are forced to relocate from the pain that you create, you ve got to fight now you can tear a building down
