historic redlining and modern gentrification in Baltimore - the 'Black Butterfly' and the "White L'
lyrics
wake up baby
oh, rise and shine
can't you see
you're on borrowed time
why don't you go take another swig of that
sweet cherry wine
that you bought down the street
oh, so gentrified
well come on down
from Vernon's temple mount
where you pay through the nose
and run your mouth
where the grass grows green
and the dirt all seems so proud
to be among the in crowd
but goeth that pride
in the still of the night
where you're just another
mind out of time
oh if I see you walk that line
you ain't no friend of mine
across town there's another
another kind of pride
that don't know the day
and don't know the night
where the streets stay born
to keep from dyin'
where the kings and queens
treat you in kind
but if they're seen wearing crowns
along the dunes of Sandtown
or their voices too loud
sing the blues on Greenmount
well you best believe
they'll be shot down
while the bird flies round
hoping something goes down
and the babies wonder why
in the still of the night
why mama's wide awake
watching daddy cry
and if I see you walk that line
you ain't no friend of mine
