Unseen - Cultural Genocide lyrics

rate me

Your family's lived here for generations<br />

But you can't afford it no more<br />

We're making room for the corporations<br />

Got no room for the poor<br />

Rent is up, so you are out, we fall deaf to all your cries<br />

This used to be your neighborhood<br />

Now you've been gentrified<br />

<br />

What's really at stake ain't real estate<br />

We're talking about peoples lives<br />

Rip the heart from a community<br />

Their culture surely dies<br />

<br />

They call it progress but who moves ahead?<br />

The people who control the wealth<br />

'Cause of their actions people end up dead<br />

They only care about themselves<br />

Playing god, who goes? who stays?<br />

Who the fuck are you to decide?<br />

They call it progress but it's a cultural genocide<br />

<br />

Gentrified, genocide
