(v. reid, addition lyrics by t. morris) Now you can tear a building down But you cant erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you cant see... This is my neighborhood This is where I come from I call this place my home You call this place a slum You wanna run all the people out This what youre all about Treat poor people just like trash Turn around and make big cash Chorus: now you can tear a building down But you cant erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you cant see Last month there was a fire I saw seven children die You sent flowers to their family But your sympathys a lie Cause every building that you burn Is more blood money that you earn We are forced to relocate >from the pain that you create Chorus We lived here for so many years Now this house is full of fear For a profit you will take control Where will all the older people go? There used to be when kids could play Without the scourge of drugs decay Now our kids are living dead They crack and blow their lives away Chorus Youve got to fight Youve got a right To fight for your neighborhood! |
