lyrics

I wish I never had to pay the rent
A penny earned for every penny spent
California invaded my hometown
And they all have more money so I have to move uptown

Hey there man! I'm from the New York City too
Not quite brought up on Park Avenue
Disneyland just reopened in my hometown
And tourists have more money so I have to move uptown

I want to buy a candy bar
I want to go outside
But there are homies on the block
And I'm the gentrifying fuck I'm sorry
I wish there was a safer place in which I could reside
So while the white folks stay inside
I'm letting Dawnay Day decide

I never had trust in the government
Keep wondeirng where my tax dollars went
Speculation's overtaken my hometown
The subway costs more money still I have to ride uptown

I want to buy a candy bar
I want to go outside
But there are homies on the block
And I'm the gentrifying fuck I'm sorry
I wish there was a safer place in which I could reside
So while the white folks stay inside
I'm letting Dawnay Day decide

If you know some white folks
They be clappin like this y'all
Till they discover the two and the four
