pAs I was talking to my friend asking her where are you going to sleep tonite?br /br /
See, my friend got kicked out of her hotel that nite.br /br /
i wanted her to stay with me, but she can't because I am homeless just like her.br /br /
Then up and here comes this yuppie/dotcommerbr /
thinking he's better than me and my friends. br /br /
He stops and asks "What is this place?"br /br /
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!!!!br /br /
What do you mean what is this place? br /br /
This is where I sleep, eat, live, and breathe. br /br /
This is where I wake up every morning. br /br /
This place is a result of the gentrification you helped along. br /br /
This place is the only housing I have left to hold on to. br /br /
Then I look back at him and say "Do you know where you live,br /
you live in a place wherebr / working class familiesbr /
used to live until they got evicted, br /then you moved into thier house. br /Thats where you live.br /
