Gentrifying make

Gentrifying where
You call home
Gentrifying til' all

Gentrified now its
A coffee shop
Gentrify the lil'
Land y'all own
Gentrify til' all
The culture gone
They are about to
Change the city
Let me tell you how
(Gentrifying the city)
Move next door to
The bar and say
The music too loud
(Gentrifying the city)
And they coming
Take pictures when the
Second line pass
(Gentrifying the city)
Wake up the next
Day they complaining
Bout' trash
(Gentrifying the city)
When Mardi Gras come
You got nowhere to stand (Gentrifying the city)
They done roped
Off the streets they
Done painted the land
(Gentrifying the city)
That hurricane Katrina
Sped up the plan
(Gentrifying the city)
Push the black people
Out like them Indians
(Gentrifying the city)
Cuz they gentrifying
In New Orleans
Gentrifying make
The locals leave
Gentrifying where
You call home
Gentrifying til' all
The black people gone
Gentrifying your
Favorite spot
It's gentrified now its
A coffee shop
Gentrify the lil'
Land y'all own
Gentrify til' all
The culture gone
On North Claiborne
They had big oak trees
(Gentrifying the city)
In the black neighborhood
That's where the
Indians meet
(Gentrifying the city)
They tore it down
Built I-10 through
The Treme'
(Gentrifying the city)
But we still under that
Bridge on carnival day
(Gentrifying the city)
They pulling out
The camera trying
To sell us all
(Gentrifying the city)
I done snatched my
Posters right off the wall
(Gentrifying the city)
You just took my picture of
What I made by hand
(Gentrifying the city)
First people they
Cheated here was
Them Indians
(Gentrifying the city)
Cuz they gentrifying
In New Orleans
Gentrifying make
The locals leave
Gentrifying where
You call home
Gentrifying til' all
The black people gone
Gentrifying your
Favorite spot
It's gentrified now its
A coffee shop
Gentrify the lil'
Land y'all own
Gentrify til' all
The culture gone
Why the transplants
Can't pronounce the
Street names
(Gentrifying the city)
And there goes the
Neighborhood when you
See the bike lane
(Gentrifying the city)
They renovate next door
Rent it raise the cost
(Gentrifying the city)
But when we move
Next to them they're
Burning a cross
(Gentrifying the city)
At Super Sunday they
Come in town to have fun
(Gentrifying the city)
When it went through the
Projects they was
Scared to come
(Gentrifying the city)
This ain't a costume
I don't need permits
(Gentrifying the city)
On Mardi Gras when
You see them Indians
(Gentrifying the city)
Cuz they gentrifying
In New Orleans
Gentrifying make
The locals leave
Gentrifying where
You call home
Gentrifying til' all
The black people gone
Gentrifying your
Favorite spot
It's gentrified now its
A coffee shop
Gentrify the lil'
Land y'all own
Gentrify til' all
The culture gone
They gentrifying
In New Orleans (Flag boy)
Gentrifying til'
All the culture leave
(Wild Tchoupitoulas)
Gentrifying where
You call home
Look around the
Black people gone
(Way uptown)
Gentrifying where
You call home
Look around all
The injuns' gone
Gentrifying your
Favorite spot
Look around now
It's a coffee shop
