Here’s the lyrics to Here Comes The Neighborhood:

I’ve got to get out of,
I’ve got to get out of this hood,
I’ve got to get out of this neighborhood,
I’ve got to get out of it,
Got to get out.

I’ve had enough, won’t call their bluff,
I’m not going to live in fear.
Racism lives on both sides so,
I’m gonna get the hell out of here.

“Do you want crack?,
Do you need smack on the track?,
Do you want grass?,
Smoke hash you white trash?”

You better watch out,
You better watch out,
You better watch out,
Watch out

I’ve had it up to here,
I’m not gonna live in fear.
They’re the ones who are racist, not me
Why can’t they just let me be
