[00:00:00] Open Letter To A Landlord - Living Colour

[00:00:39] Now you can tear a building down

[00:00:58] But you can't erase a memory

[00:01:19] These houses may look all run down

[00:01:32] But they have a value you

[00:02:01] But you can't see

[00:02:32] This is my neighborhood

[00:02:35] This is where i come from

[00:02:39] I call this place my home

[00:02:43] You call this place a slum

[00:02:47] You wanna run all the people out

[00:02:51] This is what you're all about

[00:02:54] Treat poor people just like trash

[00:02:58] Turn around and make big cash

[00:03:01] Now you can tear a building down

[00:03:04] Can't erase a memory

[00:03:08] These houses may look all run down

[00:03:11] But they have a value you can't see

[00:03:24] Last month there was a fire

[00:03:28] I saw seven children die

[00:03:31] You sent flowers to their families

[00:03:35] But your sympathy's a lie

[00:03:39] Cause every building that you burn

[00:03:42] Is more blood money that you earn

[00:03:46] We are forced to relocate

[00:03:50] From the pain that you create

[00:03:53] Now you can tear a building down

[00:03:55] You can't erase a memory

[00:04:00] These houses may look all run down

[00:04:03] They have a value you can't see

[00:04:07] Now you can tear a building down

[00:04:10] You can't erase a memory

[00:04:15] These houses may look all run down

[00:04:18] But they have a value you can't see

[00:05:00] We lived here for so many years

[00:05:04] Now this house is full of fear

[00:05:08] For a profit you will take control

[00:05:11] Where will all the older people go

[00:05:15] There used to be when kids could play

[00:05:19] Without the scourge of drug's decay

[00:05:23] Now our kids are living dead

[00:05:26] They crack and blow their lives away

[00:05:29] Now you can tear a building down

[00:05:32] But you can't erase a memory

[00:05:37] These houses may look all run down

[00:05:39] But they have a value you can't see

[00:05:44] Now you can tear a building down

[00:05:47] You can't erase a memory

[00:05:52] These houses may look all run down

[00:05:54] But they have a value you can't you can't see

[00:05:59] You've got to fight

[00:06:00] You've got a right

[00:06:02] You've got to fight for your neighborhood

[00:06:07] You've got a right

[00:06:08] You've got to fight for your neighborhood

[00:06:13] You've got a right fight

[00:06:15] You've got a right fight

[00:06:17] You've got a right fight for your neighborhood

[00:06:21] You've got to fight for your neighborhood
