lyrics

G-E-N-T-R-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N
C-U-L-T-U-R-A-L 
E-L-I-T-I-S-M
H-E-G-E-M-O-N-Y
White washing society
Words like safety and development
Thats coded R-A-C-I-S-M

Brand new home, thousand foot long
Built between two run down shacks
Talking about calling the city on the neighbor
Cuz he still hasn't cut his grass

Brand new fifty thousand dollar car
Parked in the paved drive way
Talking about the neighborhood
It used to be no good
Lucky you came it's way

Well thats
G-E-N-T-R-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N
C-U-L-T-U-R-A-L 
E-L-I-T-I-S-M
H-E-G-E-M-O-N-Y
White washing society
Words like safety and development
Thats coded R-A-C-I-S-M

First come the coffee shops
Then the small plate restaurants
And after all diversity has left
When everything starts to feel like a Wes Anderson film
With about as much cultural depth

G-E-N-T-R-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N
C-U-L-T-U-R-A-L 
E-L-I-T-I-S-M
H-E-G-E-M-O-N-Y
White washing society
Words like safety and development
Thats coded R-A-C-I-S-M

Well you brought your kids here with you
But they stay inside the fence 
You drive them to a better school 
At a great expense
You didn't come here to share and enjoy what this community has always been
You're just crossing your fingers your investment will pay off
And you'll be living with all whites again

G-E-N-T-R-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N
C-U-L-T-U-R-A-L 
E-L-I-T-I-S-M
H-E-G-E-M-O-N-Y
White washing society
Words like safety and development
Thats coded R-A-C-I-S-M
