Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Standing on the corner, spending my time Out of a job, not earning a dime Lady steps up, says I suppose You're a stylish young man by the looks of your clothes She said trust me and take a little tip This building's been sold to Johnny Depp Take the buyout, relocate The Googlemen are coming downtown, so don't be late I said this is my apartment just a hole in the wall Got to sleep in the kitchen with your feets in the hall No hot water, no windows an do's Got to make it past all the real estate agents, junkies, and ho's I live in the heart of the city, ain't no coffee shops around I heard the Googlemen drink so much coffee, I think they might drown Gentrification is here, one thing I know You can't stand pat, I declare you got to step it up and go Gentrification is here, sho' is worryin' my mind Can't understand why an uptown Googleman wants a downtown room like mine Gentrification
