Gentrifiers

If you pull up to my city
Just keep it a hunnid
How you gon' claim my block
When you not even from it?
You act like you just got here
Let's be honest

Rep it hard on TikTok
#nycaesthetic
Where the fuck were y'all
When we got hit with the pandemic?
Oh that's right, y'all dipped back to Wisconsin
Or wherever the fuck y'all from

Let me break it down in terms
That even you could understand
Everybody loves New York
Because of all the working class
Immigrants and minorities
We built the city of dreams
And you ain't part of that
So you go ahead and
Treat it just like an amusement park
Only here to take and have your fun
Until it's time to part
Your generational wealth
Ain't good for the rest of our health
But you don't care about that

Deadass these gentrifiers
Turned my city into a joke
I'll call out these gentri-liars
Yeah I'm ready for all the smoke
I hope they burn in a gentri-fire
Sorry if that's harsh to say
But man I'm so gentri-tired
Of these God damn gentrifiers

How much do you pay for rent
To live in New York City?
Shut the fuck up influencers
You can suck my glizzy
You're too proud of displacing
Black and brown kids
Used to think that it was just
You white folks acting funny
Now I notice everyone
Turns white once they got money
Classists come in all colors, shapes, and sizes

I'm talking about the rich brown kids from the all-white suburbs
Ima tell you, word to my mother
You could move to the hood, but you running
On privilege just like all the others
You think just 'cause you not white
You could speak on what it's like
To be brown in a city where most of us
Grew beneath the poverty line

And get that model minority bullshit
Out my face, on God
We don't be jacking white supremacy
In this city, watchu thought?
If you disagree, then get out
'Cause you know we not the same
You got New York in your bio
I got New York in my veins
