In the Neighborhood

See them sniffing around Down the street Like scavenging wolves Picking up the scent of dead meat They're gonna build a high rise Blocking out your grandmama's view Flash some dollars in her face As they start to chew And say We were just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood The silence of these lambs is deafening So desensitized to the beckoning Fly fly, Clarise They're gonna gentrify you right out of your lease And say We were just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Funny- this is the same place They used to drive through and say Roll the windows up, lock the doors Now they're picking out tile and wood floors Pack it up if you're too poor to stay in the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Yeah we were just in your neighborhood Adjusting the neighborhood Just in the neighborhood
