Open Letter To A Landlord - Living Colour[00:00:00]
Now you can tear a building down[00:00:15]
But you can't erase a memory[00:00:19]
These houses may look all run down[00:00:29]
But they have a value you can't see[00:00:35]
This is my neighborhood[00:01:01]
This is where I come from[00:01:06]
I call this place my home[00:01:10]
You call this place a slum[00:01:14]
You wanna run the people out[00:01:18]
This is what you're all about[00:01:22]
Treat poor people just like trash[00:01:25]
Turn around and make big cash[00:01:29]
Now you can tear a building down[00:01:32]
But you can't erase a memory[00:01:35]
These houses may look all run down[00:01:40]
But they have a value you can't see[00:01:43]
Last month there was a fire[00:01:57]
I saw seven children die[00:02:01]
You sent flowers to their families[00:02:05]
But your sympathy's a lie[00:02:09]
Cause every building that you burn[00:02:13]
Is more blood money that you earn[00:02:17]
We are forced to relocate[00:02:21]
From the pain that you create[00:02:25]
Now you can tear a building down[00:02:27]
But you can't erase a memory[00:02:30]
These houses may look all run down[00:02:35]
But they have a value you can't see[00:02:38]
Now you can tear a building down[00:02:43]
But you can't erase a memory[00:02:46]
These houses may look all run down[00:02:51]
But they have a value you can't see[00:02:54]
We lived here for so many years[00:03:39]
Now this house is full of fear[00:03:43]
For a profit you will take control[00:03:47]
Where will all the older people go[00:03:51]
There used to be when kids could play[00:03:55]
Without the scourge of drug's decay[00:03:59]
Now our kids are living dead[00:04:03]
They crack and blow their lives away[00:04:06]
Now you can tear a building down[00:04:10]
But you can't erase a memory[00:04:12]
These houses may look all run down[00:04:17]
But they have a value you can't see[00:04:20]
Now you can tear a building down[00:04:25]
But you can't erase a memory[00:04:28]
These houses may look all run down[00:04:33]
But they have a value you can't see[00:04:36]
You've got to fight[00:04:41]
You've got to fight[00:04:43]
You've got to fight[00:04:44]
For your neighborhood[00:04:46]
You've got to fight[00:04:48]
For your neighbor[00:04:50]
