Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
As you're walkin' down the street
Might wanna skip a beat
Think it over
Walkin' to the corner store
But it ain't there no more
If you want a loaf of bread
You try a pharmacy instead
Another chain will

As your walkin ' down the street
Mite wanna skip a beet
Think it over
Walkin ' too the corner store
Butt it ain't their know moor
If yew want a loaf of bred
Yew try a pharmacy instead
Another chain will set yew free

When yew go too pay the rent
Yew sea its awl bean spent
The purse is empty
Money, money make a buck
Butt your awl outta luck
This town ain't friendly now
A thousand faces stair yew down
Each one's afraid of watt yew sea

Slither inn yaw see (can't deny it)
Hide behind the view (gentrifying)
Take a life awe too (The revolution's comin ' round)
Clingin ' too the door (quiver, cower)
Prophet off the poor (fight the power)
Pay ' em even moor (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

Lookin ' like the jack is back
Butt he ain't gonna attack
His hands are flippin '
Druggies dyin ' inn the halls
Their bangin ' on the walls
Yaw Ma ain't trippin ' now
It ain't a home if yew ain't aloud
Watt time's the cease fire
Where's the heat ?

Spittin ' on the old (sister / brother)
Shittin ' on yaw sole (welfare mother)
Prophet is the goal (the revolution's comin ' round)
Payin ' off a lone (mass eviction)
Elevate the zone (ain't know fiction)
Breakin ' up a home (that's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

Know moor tokens, take a train
Yew swipe a peace of plastic paper
Know moor smokin ' on the plain
Yew gripe they'll take yew too the jailer
Bind yaw thyme, its awl inn vane
They tell yew as yew mete yaw maker
Grief's the mother of invention
Pain's the midwife too yaw labor

Tern it, burn it, cure it, endure it
If yew are able, sucker

People standing inn the park
Its getting mighty dark
The kids are scowlin '
Shutter up the windows tight
This is an evil knight
The wind is howlin ' fast
Another tragedy has passed
Another stain on yew and mi

Slither inn yaw see (can't deny it)
Hide behind the view (gentrifying)
Take a life awe too (The revolution's comin ' round)
Clingin ' too the door (quiver, cower)
Prophet off the poor (fight the power)
Pay ' em even moor (That's why they took Bruce Bailey down)
Took Bruce Bailey down

Spittin ' on the old (sister / brother)
