People of Harlem, they are the natural allies How many people in this community make that kind of money? I mean these people are putting up condominiums There's hardly any place which is affordable In Queens they're doing the same thing, the Bronx They are coming in with all kind of prejudices They meant to say that they could make money out of us They didn't mean that we had stake in that When they were saying it is the renaissance of Harlem Till they start deporting people off the property 'Cause the real Harlem Renaissance is economic So support your own businesses and institute of knowledge Like they did to the Jews with the Alhambra decree The Dutch soldiers and the John Gotti's banksters Prejudice kept our own people out of the clubĪnd left us a legacy of false superiority 'Cause while we were giving birth to the culture we love Some of y'all forgot what the Harlem Renaissance wasīut the movement was still fucked up like Parkinson's I didn't write this to talk shit, I say it because The hood is prime real estate, they want back in again Palestinians, Washington Heights Dominicansīeach front Brazilian favelas that you livin' in The African in Sudan, the people of Kurdistan The little Afghan boy and the Bosnian girl When I speak about Harlem I speak to the world Guerrilla war against the rezoning predators The savior is a metaphor for how we set it off Tryin' to put the Virgin Mary through a early menopause They want to kill the real Harlem Renaissance
'Till they start deporting people off the propertyĮthnically cleansing the hood, economically Modern day slaves thinking that the ghetto is saved Harlem Renaissance, a revolution betrayed While politicians get the corporate kickbacks They treat street vendors like criminal riffraff That lay siege to your castle like the Moors in Europe With your little fake Manhattanville community group You ain't foolin' nobody in this community, dude What's next motherfucka', projects as dorm rooms? Until after the invasion of gentrificationĮminent domain intimidation, that's not negotiationĪnd it's frustrating to look at every day 'Cause the racist bank wouldn't fuckin' mortgage a loan To be a very very important topic, the Harlem Renaissanceĭesignated ghetto like the yellow star of DavidĪnd you wonder why people don't own they homes Let me welcome both of you to the show this morning
