Gentrification rap by Meltologist
(Verse 1)
Yo, let me tell you 'bout a tale, it's a story so true, Gentrification's on the rise, gotta break it to you. It's a slow-moving wave, creeping through the streets, Changing neighborhoods overnight, it's a cycle that repeats.
They call it progress, but it's displacement in disguise, Pushing out the locals, under city lights they rise. New condos and cafes, fancy stores on the block, But the soul of the hood, it's slowly getting rocked.
(Chorus) Gentrification, it's a jive we can't ignore, Slick suits and big bucks, knocking on our door. But we'll stand strong, keep the rhythm alive, In the face of change, our culture will survive.
(Verse 2) They say it's revitalization, a city's rebirth, But it's pushing out the people who've been here since birth. Rent soaring higher, can't afford to stay, Old landmarks disappear, it's a sad display.
We're fighting for our roots, for our home sweet home, Against the tide of progress, we won't be overthrown. The heartbeat of the city, we're the soul that persists, Gentrification's challenge, we'll resist with our fists.
(Chorus) Gentrification, it's a jive we can't ignore, Slick suits and big bucks, knocking on our door. But we'll stand strong, keep the rhythm alive, In the face of change, our culture will survive.
(Bridge) So let's keep the groove alive, our spirit unshaken, Our communities resilient, we won't be forsaken. From Harlem to the Bay, all the way to the Bronx, We'll fight for our homes and keep the jive unboxed.
(Verse 3) The struggle is real, but our voices will be heard, We'll preserve our history, our culture, every word. Let's reclaim our neighborhoods, together we'll unite, Gentrification won't define our plight.
We'll paint the town with colors, keep the music in the air, In the face of change, we'll show we truly care. This slow melodic rap, it's our anthem for the fight, Against gentrification, we'll shine our inner light.
(Chorus) Gentrification, it's a jive we can't ignore, Slick suits and big bucks, knocking on our door. But we'll stand strong, keep the rhythm alive, In the face of change, our culture will survive.
(Outro) So remember the struggle, don't ever let it slide, Through slow, melodic rap, let's take the world in stride. Gentrification won't break us, we're gonna stay alive, Our culture, our neighborhoods, together we'll revive.
