Gentrify the Neighborhood

Hey you kids, get off my lawn
Hey you kids, get off my lawn
Hey you kids, get off my lawn
Hey you kids, don't you know 

We trying to gentrify the neighborhood
Gentrify this neighborhood
We trying to gentrify the neighborhood
Gentrify the hood

I got an aluminum screen door
I'm fixing up the second floor
May rent it out for three or four
We just a block from the dollar store

'Cause over there, we got a hoagie shop, another hoagie shop
We got cheese steak pizza hoagie shop
We got a hoagie shop, another hoagie shop
We got cheese steak pizza hoagie shop

I don't want to be the one
Dragging everybody's property values down
I don't want to be the only one
Who didn't try to

Gentrify the neighborhood
Gentrify this neighborhood
We gotta gentrify the neighborhood
Gentrify the hood

With an executive Costco card
I'm living large, and I'm shopping hard
I got a white jockey statue in my yard
And my cockapoo is standing guard

And there's a hoagie shop, another hoagie shop
We got cheese steak pizza hoagie shop
We got a hoagie shop, another hoagie shop (another one)
We got cheese steak pizza hoagie shop

I don't want to be the one
With my [...] all broke down
I don't want to be the only one
Who didn't try to gentrify this neighborhood, gentrify the hood

Come on now, pick up the trash
Everybody here, pick up the trash
Hey you kids, pick up the trash
Everybody in the hood, pick up the trash

Oh, gotta gentrify this neighborhood
Gentrify the neighborhood
Gonna gentrify this neighborhood
Gentrify the hood

Yes, I'm living a life suburb
House number painted on the curb
Got a sign that says "Do Not Disturb"
And the place don't smell so much like herb

I don't want to be the one
Bringing everybody's property values down
Never want to be the only one
Who didn't try to gentrify this neighborhood
