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
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

As the residents stood to applaud the new gods
The past and future at odds
Active shooter and on duty real life horror movie

No excuses for your predatory policies

Here's to decadence settlers and settlements
Look homeward, angel
When it was orchards
Risking remembrance

Erased; the voices of the past

See me here
Homeward now
