Lets start with Marpole what the F*** were you thinking You must spent a night in Hawaii with Gordon Campbell drinking Puffin on that Maui Wowee/ Run for Mayor after you and the Olympics ruined my city - Proudly! I got a handle on the issues I spit em loudly/ Check my facebook if you want to know something 'bout me/ My homey said,"Yo edit those posts, you know should!" I said, "Nope, same number same hood. Check it" Back to the lecture at Hand - you know its shitty/ Irrelevant Devlopment all over Vancity It start at City Hall we offered this and that But when the buildings are done, developers take it back Henriquez asked for 26 floors we gave him 16/ Residents wanted it lower that proves you aint listening Took so many gifts I don't know whose pocket the mayors in/ So lets rock the vote like the hairs on my chinny chin/ We asking Why For, you building such an eyesore/ Why you trying to get a bigger piece of the pie for? Gregory and Gregor only looking at the Profits Posing at these consultations scoffing at Community involvement/ We probably just some NPA hacks/ I heard the mayorship was for the city so I'm taking it back We just need some relevant development up in the hood City Hall and Devlopers up to no good In Marpole, SoMa, Downtown Eastisde We wont be gentrified!! So now I head down to SoMa, oh my Broadway aint South Main unless I'm high Last time I checked South Van was South of King Ed But Gregor Running his mouth for Developer Bread You want more Hi-Rises where there ain't Hi-Rises More surprises that the citizens despise Building SRO's with no support Why you wasting this money when we can't afford to If you don't solve the problem the first time we gonna have to taxpay for it a second and third time Families going to deal with an increase in crime Yo put some social housing in at Oak and 29th And we will see if you rich folk like it The passions ignited time to stand up! (I wont deny it) So if you ready to ride with me to city hall And make sure our voices are heard then I'm with y'all I hope you come to a town hall and see me/ Speak up - Even if your image ain't squeaky clean Politics ain't PG-13 I mean Workers come and holler at me Teens come and Holler at me If you got something to say come and holler at me If you want to see me at city Hall throw a dollar at me We just need some relevant development up in the hood City Hall and Devlopers up to no good South Cambie, Mount pleasant even at the foot of Kerr If you love Vancity say Word! Pacific to Water street, Beatty to Main, the cities about to change it will never be the same demolish and push out the things that make the hood what it is And when we all gone it's just you rich dicks Let's look at my old hood, it's called the drive first bid I did was '80 - '85 16 - 22 suites where you could live 1 tiny apartment on the block that's it Now it's 2 big apartments and laneway housing tripled the density, blue collars bouncing Everybody I know long gone out tha hood White collar tokens say' "It's all good!" Not thinking about the message they send, You moved because you thought it was trendy, but who set it? I never really moved out tha hood don't forget it I treat this city like my F**** neck kid protect it! Every hood I go to developers in Bed with, reps from the city and we catching them neked, City hall has lost all of my respect so lets have a moment of Silence for the dead yo!
