Look Homeward, Angel

My city is tent city
High rent city
3 families a home it's high density
The cost of living alone it incenses me

We can't win
Condos is going in
My people is goin' out
Shadiness goin down

The raze neighborhoods without making a sound
Cracks formed in the ground
As the residents stood to applaud the new gods
The past and future at odds

Active shooter and on duty real life horror movie
So your words don't move me
No apologies
No excuses for your predatory policies

Call it prophecy or destiny manifested
Your culture is deemed irrelevant
All hail development

No let the cold truth settle in
Here's to decadence settlers and settlements

Look homeward, angel
When it was orchards
Risking remembrance
Wanting to be seen

Erased; the voices of the past
Amnesiac remembrance

Look homeward now
Unfound door
Forgotten

Unseen truth
Homeward now
See me here
Homeward now
See me here

When it was
When it was
A memory of

Of orchards

I'm from the Valley of the heartless
People sleeping on the park bench
Evil creeping through the darkness

Segregated from the people on the margins
It's like a jungle sometimes it make me wonder why
In a time of abundance why does hunger thrive

Prosperities underside
I come from the underside
Currently under-fire

Ah yes progress what it do for us
My social class cant pass on the google bus
The notion is ludicrous

The money is power but the power is ruinous
And when the boom goes bust who you gon call
How you gon sleep with cracks in ya firewall
Better watch what you doin' before the buyin' and flippin' turn to burnin and lootin
