Zion I - Tech $ lyrics
[?] It's happening to me Iam moving my whole family On the spur of the moment And God bless, I found a spot But I am further out Than I have ever been In eighteen years… Tech money, tech money, tech money, tech money Let's talk about the ways they get paid Tech money, tech money, tech money, tech money Seen it in the 90's with the dot.com Condo shiny popping chandons He was still grimy, having no charm Made alot money til: no fun Turned mission street into a lounge act Junk frat boys--where they found at Penned up, missing--how you love that? When your ground gets christened Where are the brown cats? Got pushed out--this ain't your house Third generation came from down south Now I got all these mummies in my mouth Throwing tech money trying to get me out I've seen it all before--watch the wheels spin We'll be pumping nails until the world ends All I want to do is try to make sense Love my city but the gentry got it real tense I'm all about business getting built and infrastructure getting built By why not tap the people who have been here for generations? Were all living through this process Why not empower the people here already? Let's talk about the ways they get paid, yeah Tech money, tech money, tech money, tech money Seen it once again--now it's too close Left the Silicon, now its my folks Came over the bridge dashing on hope Rent sky high--bet I'd die rope Rapping round my neck, til it's real tight People can't survive this is real life If it's still the town it don't feel right Now that the winds going down, what's that meal like? Stuffing by my piece, now she left without Ass OPD, trying to weed us out Separate the seeds from the shaft, bruh I'd be with my peoples getting strapped up Moving a lot of heat through these masters See you'll never see me end with these saps blood I don't worship money, cue the laughter Is technology a blessing or a cancer? Tech money, tech money, tech money, tech money Let's talk about the ways they get paid, yeah Tech money, tech money, tech money, tech money Yo Motherf**er can't even afford to pay rent You know what I'm saying? Where did the culture go? They bringing in corporate culture into the bay area SF man What happened to the culture? To the people? To the culture? [?]
