Lyrics Tech $ - Zion I

Tech $

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?
