Chad - Hotc Lyrics

We know the housing cost are killing people
And it's choking folks
And we gotta do more to get housing built
One constant is change
But I don't want things to change
Cause all this change bringing pain
But it's changing just the same
Outside I see a battle for the heart of the city
Every part of the city
North Beach Mission Street
Mission Cliffs Mission Eats
On a mission in The Mission
I'm painting pictures never missing no details
Like a mural in the mission
I got a funny premonition
In a few years the Mission gonna be boring
Like the missionary position
Overused pretty boys no views
Sitting solo in Dolo sipping from a solo cup
You know what's up?
How many of us been here for more than 2 years
How many of us been here more than 5
Locals mortified saying yeah there's more to life than
Money money money, but money makes the world turn
Talking to a local
Hey man you feel burned?
City in a chokehold
New kids new money earned
Mission street make a left turn
He left me with a lesson learned
One constant is change
But I don't want things to change
Cause all this change bringing pain
But it's changing just the same
He said look
This a gold rush town
Tech money is a gold rush now
He said look
Look around
You might find money
But the lost won't be found
He said look
This a gold rush town
Tech money is a gold rush now
He said look
Look around
You might find money
But the lost won't be found
Other locals saying this exactly what they warned about
Feeling like a pair of blue jeans feeling worn out
You call it a battle they say the heart's been torn out
Now the Google buses here they can't afford a house
So they up on Google Maps trying to figure out
The best place to protest the google bus routes
Like covering a wound once you're already bleeding out
Damn it feels different when you see the stats you read about
Read about how the cities changing each day
Locals can't even afford a house in the East Bay
Shit, I can't afford a house in the East Bay
Either way I'm here to stay
I smelled him when I walked by
I usually don't stop but I
Caught his eye tanned skin tired lines
I said how bout change for a story
He said how about a story about change?
One constant is change
But I don't want things to change
Cause all this change bringing pain
But it's changing just the same
He said look
This a gold rush town
Tech money is a gold rush now
He said look
Look around
You might find money
But the lost won't be found
He said look
This a gold rush town
Tech money is a gold rush now
He said look
Look around
You might find money
But the lost won't be found
