Gentrified little black bird forced to fly
were will you go little black bird
Urban renewal/Negro removal from prime real estate
Little black bird found uncomfortable nesting in the shade of skyscrapers
Uptown or across the tracks, made a dollar outta fifteen cents
made corners into street economies, cash and carry bodegas
populate the black birds habitat. First and last months rent sent in
envelopes, a place to stay for one more day..
Temporary permanence, boarded up windows telling the old story
of whats left behind in broken down brownstones and brick walk ups.
Gentrified little black bird fly forced to flee for non payment of hidden fees, tax codes, priced out property sacrificed for commuter convenience, reduced drive time for professionals with disposable incomes.
Bye Bye black bird see you in the wind
