Andrew Watkins - Residence Lyrics

Violence in the south side, this the same shit
Chance and Vic know that’s pretty much they cockpit
Another day another dollar one more brother hit
If they were white they would be labeled a misfit
But since they got melanin media throw a fit, that’s hypocrite
They think blacks just more violent at the face of it
But dig deeper and you’ll see where the problem sit
Not public housing, these projects just don’t ever last
Shoutout Cabrini, that thing now just a thing of the past
We sick and tired of seeing brothers dead on the newscast
Gotta stop segregating, can’t treat them like outcast
You hole them up but don’t ever maintain or even show a gaze
Pusha said it best, not new problems just old ways
That means fresh ideas, new fixes, original solutions
We know what old policymakers want, sick of their contributions
No more projects, how bout mixed-income housing institutions

We gotta integrate, desegregate, not incarcerate
These housing policies we gotta interrogate, resuscitate
Make some mixed-income housing for everybody to congregate
Once that happen the murder rate will suffocate, not accelerate
You raise an eye but wait just let me substantiate

Since way back they orchestrated to segregate
Racist housing policies you can read in they mandate
These white kids look around but no black schoolmate
Preferential funds in the way that they allocate, so no graduate
But yall still talk that racist code that’s word up to welfare state
You look around and see that south side housing inadequate
We need mixed-income hoods, not to isolate, no section eight
We gotta innovate this old stuff way too outta date
I know the whites can’t stand to live near a black neighbor
Cuz way back they were mad that they took all they labor
But if the government would just offer an incentive
Then maybe Rahm and co would be a lil more attentive
You get the politicians on board now we rolling
So you aint gotta send 12 to Chiraq patrolling
You can keep all the praise and extolling
But more importantly these mothers we can finally stop consoling
We gotta integrate, desegregate, not incarcerate
These housing policies we gotta interrogate, resuscitate
Make some mixed-income housing for everybody to congregate
Once that happen the murder rate will suffocate, not accelerate
You raise an eye but wait just let me substantiate

You do your reading and one thing is clear
Urban murder rate and segregation adhere
That’s right the two really correlate, maybe even causate
At the end of the day segregation might really explicate
Why all the brothers keep tryin to assassinate
Why all the choppers they continue to operate
Why all the bullets they decide to liberate
Why all the homies are straight up forced to push weight
Why all these cases the county gotta arbitrate
Why black wealth in the Chi continues to stagnate
Why hood growth we can’t come close to activate
Why tombstones and city blocks we still dedicate
Why these conditions continue to extenuate
But once we mix color and class in one life estate
These homicides on black people will abbreviate
And most importantly the lives of our black kin will ameliorate
