Tech $ - Zion I

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, you had 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 all 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?

I see they talk about the ways they get paid

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

Motherfucker 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?
