My Auntie's Building - Open Mike Eagle

They blew up my auntie’s building

Put out her great grandchildren

Who else in America

Deserves to have that feeling

Where else in America

Will they blow up yo village

Don’t knock me down

Don’t knock me down

I beg you, I’m just chilling

I’ll fight you all, I’m willing

Just show me who’s that villain

I don’t see one, I don’t see one

I can’t find nobody

Chicago or Benghazi

A high rise without no lobby

Run up stairwells like Rocky

'Cause these elevators so sloppy

Stop me now if I’m lyin'

But I don’t need your buy in

Heard a hundred sirens

Attention’s undivided

I was in there, she lived there

She raised a few of her kids there

No lobby

No swimming pool

No need in buying no swimwear

Got memories from in high chairs

I stayed quiet like Ice Bear

They say America fights fair

But they won’t demolish your timeshare

Blew up my auntie’s building

Put out her great grandchildren

That building cost 10 million

Now an empty lot not filled in

It was people there and kids there

And drug dealers and church folk

And they hit that shit with a wrecking ball so hard

Thought the whole earth broke

All them people dispersed though

Federal to commercial

State demolished my circle

I guess everywhere is my turf though

That’s the sound of them tearing my body down, to the ground

That’s the sound of them tearing my body down, to the ground

That’s the sound of them tearing my body down, to the ground

That’s the sound of them tearing my body down, to the ground

That’s the sound of them tearing my body down, to the ground
