Beltline, beltline, yah

Can I get a job that’s by my house they’re like nah

White men playing golf, gentrifying their culture

And buying land up like vultures

An Atlanta tour de force? Nah

I just want a W like DuBois did

Cause T’s compromise was not what they needed

West side is feedin off food stamps

While the east is at Krog

Separated but equal, city divide in full force, yah

Cause we be boosting the wrong thing

King's message olympified, torn down to go build some damn rings

Did anybody read his letter, the one from the cell?

Commending sit-ins and protest and integration as well? Nah

We’d much rather have a playground to sit in

Than 100,000 rappers that are being creative

These are issues deeply seeded and blended

Cause we got kids on Splash Mountain feeding the Mouse’s agenda

Institutionalized, the Wren’s Nest ain’t helpin

Cause they be sweeping truth under the rug, ditch appropriation

But even if we preserve, there’s a chance they won’t hear it

Cause the Herndon House ain’t thriving but their neighbors don’t know it
