lyrics

First Friday's are always really nice
But no one comes back on Saturday night
They say the city seem alright but they’re terrified
They’ve heard all about the kids who have died
On the west end streets the bullets fly
Can’t keep turning your backs on crime
There's murder at the waterway and murder at the Hill
Just up the street they found the body of a girl

Build an illusion of safety
Try to cover up the fear
You think a coat of paint will be that it takes
To make people wanna come back here
Build an illusion of safety
Try to cover up the fear
Build an illusion of safety

Gentrified the neighborhood
pushed the crimes to another block
Out of sight not its out of mind
doesn't mean anything has stopped
You can line the streets with boutique shops
But the people wanna know where are the jobs

Build an illusion of safety
Try to cover up the fear
You think a coat of paint will be that it takes
To make people wanna come back here
Build an illusion of safety
Try to cover up the fear
Build an illusion of safety

What about the men sleeping under the bridge
Gentrified so forget about them
As they build an illusion of safety
