Open Letter To A Landlord - Living Colour[00:00:00]
Now you can tear a building down[00:00:39]
But you can't erase a memory[00:00:58]
These houses may look all run down[00:01:19]
But they have a value you[00:01:32]
But you can't see[00:02:01]
This is my neighborhood[00:02:32]
This is where i come from[00:02:35]
I call this place my home[00:02:39]
You call this place a slum[00:02:43]
You wanna run all the people out[00:02:47]
This is what you're all about[00:02:51]
Treat poor people just like trash[00:02:54]
Turn around and make big cash[00:02:58]
Now you can tear a building down[00:03:01]
Can't erase a memory[00:03:04]
These houses may look all run down[00:03:08]
But they have a value you can't see[00:03:11]
Last month there was a fire[00:03:24]
I saw seven children die[00:03:28]
You sent flowers to their families[00:03:31]
But your sympathy's a lie[00:03:35]
Cause every building that you burn[00:03:39]
Is more blood money that you earn[00:03:42]
We are forced to relocate[00:03:46]
From the pain that you create[00:03:50]
Now you can tear a building down[00:03:53]
You can't erase a memory[00:03:55]
These houses may look all run down[00:04:00]
They have a value you can't see[00:04:03]
Now you can tear a building down[00:04:07]
You can't erase a memory[00:04:10]
These houses may look all run down[00:04:15]
But they have a value you can't see[00:04:18]
We lived here for so many years[00:05:00]
Now this house is full of fear[00:05:04]
For a profit you will take control[00:05:08]
Where will all the older people go[00:05:11]
There used to be when kids could play[00:05:15]
Without the scourge of drug's decay[00:05:19]
Now our kids are living dead[00:05:23]
They crack and blow their lives away[00:05:26]
Now you can tear a building down[00:05:29]
But you can't erase a memory[00:05:32]
These houses may look all run down[00:05:37]
But they have a value you can't see[00:05:39]
Now you can tear a building down[00:05:44]
You can't erase a memory[00:05:47]
These houses may look all run down[00:05:52]
But they have a value you can't you can't see[00:05:54]
You've got to fight[00:05:59]
You've got a right[00:06:00]
You've got to fight for your neighborhood[00:06:02]
You've got a right[00:06:07]
You've got to fight for your neighborhood[00:06:08]
You've got a right fight[00:06:13]
You've got a right fight[00:06:15]
You've got a right fight for your neighborhood[00:06:17]
You've got to fight for your neighborhood[00:06:21]
