Gentrification by FifthGod Lyrics
[Intro 1: Fab Five Freddy]
Yeah yeah yeah it's Fab Five Freddy right here
And I’m enjoying what my man FifthGod is laying out for ya'll right now
That's right, pay close attention ’cause FifthGod droppin' knowledge
Fab Five Freddy I'm in the building baby
100
[Intro 2: Madwiz]
Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with
Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with
Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with
Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with
The other day, I'm steppin’ in my motherfucking building
That I grew up in in my neighborhood of 22 years
It might look nice to the sleep pedestrian, but yo, the color has changed
Old white bitch lookin’ at me like I don't belong here
Bitch lookin’ at me like "how and why?"
I pulled out the key on her hoe ass, knowledge of self nigga
[Verse 1: Radamiz]
Why I, got the science to make my starting point the bright sky
Claim caucasian to duck probation, that's a white lie
Sever ties from the Devil's pie with the rhymes I memorize
Step aside, pop culture but Pulitzer when I sketch a line
You the Baphomet, real estate accident, the expert
You flushed degrees down the drain and chose skin as the networth
You Jesus Walked until your legs hurt then first classed it
School of Hardknocks
Graduated from stealin' from Mom to purse snatchin’
That violent style done got us wild enough to hurt cops
Hip-Hop was dead and resurrected when my verse dropped
Figured the game out, I Sherlocked scrimmage, a sure shot
Good with the techs like Silicon Valley for the dinero
My curbs hot, peeps stuck in 4 corners, candles lit
Make street money, panhandling in Pan's Labyrinth
A 90's baby, came out the coochie rockin' a Coogi
Give my Momma a jacuzzi
Marcus Garvey in some Stussy
[Verse 2: Scienze]
How I feel, I'm God made magic, I raise average
Brain catcher, king shines light, lane crafter
The city focused on green and gold crowns
I'm busy making these dreams below grounds
It's real, this bling no diamond, it's all timing
All mine it, remove all pressure, we all shining
Its all matter, we all gon' eat, its all platters
More water, big like bold, just more fatter, word
Radamiz tell Fifth to pour a drink
These times be timed wrong, these songs just small fish
Let's move
The planet of Brooklyn don't look the same
They're blocking us from our blocks
Jocking us out our fame
Its simple, we on a plane, simple and plain
Its plain proof, the proof is our hood's got newer names
Insane, this new generation don't see the change
Their aiming is aimed off, yo 'miz we got that range
[Outro: Kye Russoul]
Father God I pray
Remember what you said to me
I and I and we are peace
But a house is not a home if you can't sleep
Worried 'bout the next meal you gon' eat
Or the next?
Wondering if we can stay for good
Living in this neighborhood
Yeah yeah yeah it's Fab Five Freddy right here
And I’m enjoying what my man FifthGod is laying out for ya'll right now
That's right, pay close attention ’cause FifthGod droppin' knowledge
Fab Five Freddy I'm in the building baby
