Lyrics
See them sniffing around
Down the street
Like scavenging wolves
Picking up the scent of dead meat
Gonna build a high rise
Blocking out your grandmama’s view
Flash some dollars in her face
As they start to chew and say
We were just in the neighborhood
Adjusting the neighborhood
Just in the neighborhood
Adjusting the neighborhood
The silence of these lambs is deafening
So desensitized to the beckoning
Fly fly, Clarise
They’re gonna gentrify you right out of your lease
and say
We were just in the neighborhood
Adjusting the neighborhood
Oh we were just in the neighborhood
Adjusting the neighborhood
Funny- this is the same place
They used to drive through and say
Roll the windows up, lock the doors
Now they’re picking out tile and wood floors
Pack it up if you’re too poor to stay in the neighborhood
Just in the neighborhood
