Rent Control (feat. Madame Cruz)

Yea uhhh Maria? Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to raise your rent
By how much? You know I don't even have it now
By 500$ dollars
That's tooo muucchhh, that is TOO much! You know I'm already paying for babysitters
Hey listen, if you don't have the money by the first of the month Ima have to issue you a notice to quit
500$?! YO NO LO TENGO
If you don't like it, you can always MOVE OUT
No-fault evictions, deed restrictions
Gentrification, greeds
addiction
Developers ain't nothin' but political mobsters
Palms get greased, follow the coffers
Speculators, we're talkin' to you
Affordable homes?
Affordable to who?
Lift the ban, rents outta control
It's pushin' families outta their home
Matandome trabajando quarenta, ochenta
El dinero no me da pa la renta
Viviendo en el ghetto y los ricos aya chilliando en la penta
Ellos no te lo dicen, que tienen los fondos aunque critiquen
Y los luces las biles ni te dan para andar con un guile

Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes

People over profit, that's how we gon fight this
Organize tenants in a housing crisis
Stable homes, Community Land Trusts
Small homeowners, that's soon to be bankrupt
Soon they'll be tents, up and down the Ave.
Another extension of Mass & Cass
Lower-class, more than half our
income
Gets spent on rent, while we struggle for breadcrumbs
Half and half people feel, that's how we be savin'
Thirty percent feel more than inflation
How you think we can make it
Pon lo to junto but still hesitatin'
Light's higher than heroine
But here's your eviction letter you better get on
Esto es la neta you better get on
Esto es la neta you better get on

Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes

Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent

Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
Control de la renta, Esa es la neta
Control de la renta, Rent Control
Lift the ban for stable homes
