G Is for Gentrify

Another beautiful day in mid-city LA

They rolled up, we popped him as he walked away

Pro game, man down, now all the neighbors standing round with they cameras out

Red team verse blue team

Been over thirty years it ain't a new thing

Another gun shot, another nigga died

Don't you know we got a lot bigger fish to fry?

Up north they just lynch Willie Sims

How come y'all niggas ain't trying to get them?

Unless somebody come to try and take your rims

You gon' call the homies and pull out the MAC-10s

I don't understand y'all dudes

White people see it on the news and they confused

While you choose to make war in this bitch, they invest, buy land and get rich

They moved out, but we moved in

Like f*ck y'all niggas, no new friends

When they move back, we gotta move out

Now it's seven figures for a new house

Walk they dogs with nose in the sky

Tensions build the temperature rise

We ask why the rent is so high

G-E-N-T-R-I-F-Y

Ay, ay, could you put that camera down?

Y- what you mean it's a free country?

That's an expensive phone, right?

Yeah, it would suck if it got broke

Snapchat filters on the homicide

It's entertainment to them when one of us die

Wanted to hit 'em but I saw the big picture

If I hit 'em then I'm just an "angry nigga"

Covered up his phone with my hand

Try to reason with him like a grown man

He didn't get it but he left because he feared me

Couple days later he wouldn't even come near me

At night I saw him way across the street

Walking his dog, when he stopped to take a leak

On the corner with the candles and the flowers

The homie mama she been standing there for hours

Every night she would come down to mourn and cry

She saw the disrespect out the corner of her eye

That's when a homie grabbed him by the neck

I would be a snitch if I said what happened next

They moved out, but we moved in

Like f*ck y'all niggas, no new friends

When they move back, we gotta move out

Now it's seven figures for a new house

Walk they dogs with nose in the sky

Tensions build the temperature rise

We ask why the rent is so high

G-E-N-T-R-I-F-Y

Gentrify y'all, till we die y'all

From the West Side to best all y'all

It's gentrify y'all, till we die y'all

From the West Side to best all y'all

It's gentrify y'all, till we die y'all

From the West Side to best all y'all

It's gentrify y'all, till we, till we, till we
