[Intro]
G is for Gentrify

[Murs]
Another beautiful day, in Mid-City, L.A.
They rolled up, we popped him as he walked away
Pro game, man down
Now all the neighbors standin 'round with they cameras out
Red team, versus blue team
Been over thirty years, it ain't a new thing
Another gun shot, another nigga died
Don't y'all know we got a lot bigger fish to fry?
Up north they just lynched Willie Sims
How come y'all niggaz ain't tryna get them?
But let somebody try to come and take your rims
You gon' call the homies and pull out the MAC-10's
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

[Chorus: Murs]
They moved out, but we moved in
Like fuck y'all niggaz, 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

[Interlude]
Ay say man, ay ay, could you put that camera down?
Yea, what you mean it's a free country?
That's an expensive phone, right?
Yeah, it would suck if it got broke

[Murs]
Snapchat filters on the homicide
It's entertainment to them when one of us die
Wanted to hit him but I saw the big picture
If I hit him then I'm just an angry nigga
Covered up his phone with my hand
Tried 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
Walkin his dog, when it stopped to take a leak
On the corner with the candles and the flowers
The homie mama, she been standin 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 the homie grabbed him by the neck
I would be a snitch if I said what happened next

[Chorus]

[Outro: Murs]
Gentrify y'all, 'til we die y'all
From the Westside, to Bed-Stuy y'all
It's gentrify y'all, 'til we die y'all
From the Westside, to Bed-Stuy y'all
It's gentrify y'all, 'til we die y'all
From the Westside, to Bed-Stuy y'all
It's gentrify y'all, 'til we, 'til we
Yeah
