  • (v. reid, addition lyrics by t. morris)
  • Now you can tear a building down
  • But you can't erase a memory
  • These houses may look all run down
  • But they have a value you can't see...
  • This is my neighborhood
  • This is where i come from
  • I call this place my home
  • You call this place a slum
  • You wanna run all the people out
  • This what you're all about
  • Treat poor people just like trash
  • Turn around and make big cash
  • Chorus: now you can tear a building down
  • But you can't erase a memory
  • These houses may look all run down
  • But they have a value you can't see
  • Last month there was a fire
  • I saw seven children die
  • You sent flowers to their family
  • But your sympathy's a lie
  • Cause every building that you burn
  • Is more blood money that you earn
  • We are forced to relocate
  • >from the pain that you create
  • Chorus
  • We lived here for so many years
  • Now this house is full of fear
  • For a profit you will take control
  • Where will all the older people go?
  • There used to be when kids could play
  • Without the scourge of drug's decay
  • Now our kids are living dead
  • They crack and blow their lives away
  • Chorus
  • You've got to fight
  • You've got a right
  • To fight for your neighborhood!
