What About Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Call it what you want, you can call it what you
Want
Farmer Steph Williams was cool as a band
He ran the neighbourhood, was the man in
Demand
But farmer Steph Williams got too hot on the block
They ran him outta town then the whole
Operation stopped
Saying: What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
Well, there goes the neighbourhood, one way or another
You can call it what you want
But the young blood's taking over
Don't get too comfortable, just plan on moving over
'Cause things gon' stay the same
It's the same thing over and over
What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
Hey Mr. Williams, what you gonna do now?
You done got way too big for the little big town
Made on up, can't you decide when you come around
And everybody wants it now
And the voices keep getting louder
Saying: What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
There goes the neighbourhood, one way or
Another
You can call it what you want
But the young blood's taking over
Don't get too comfortable, just plan on moving over
'Cause things gon' stay the same
It's the same thing over and over
What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
There goes the neighbourhood, one way or
Another
You can call it what you want
But the young blood's taking over
So don't get too comfortable, just plan on moving over
'Cause things gon' stay the same
It's the same thing over and over
What about us?
Everybody saying: What about us?
There goes the neighbourhood, one way or
Another
You can call it what you want
But the young blood's taking over, ay
Don't get too comfortable, just plan on moving over
'Cause things gon' stay the same
It's the same thing over and over
What about us?
