Take Care Atlanta Lyrics

No fathers in the home, we gotta fix that

No banks to give us loans, we gotta fix that

I know you made it on your own and I commend that

Nothin' to somethin, ayy, represent that

Don't focus on the failure just to get back

Young black successful, young black Atlanta

Don't lose your soul for condos and traffic

Don't lose your focus for one day's for Mondays at. magic

Don't sell your granny house, ask the ancestors

Think of boycotts, think protests All those summer nights, singin' on those court steps

Ain't too many places left, where we gon' go next

Unapologetically black, look, don't sell Atlanta, they'll never sell it back

Skyscrapers made it more expensive here

Pricin' out the working class, strippin' down the culture, yeah

Politics is like religion here So you gotta expect traps from these super PACs

Atlanta changed the world, it ain't no turnin' back, check

These are matters of the soul now

Picture MLK lookin' down, layin' all the details out

Statin' how we work together, what if he left a letter

Signin' off, P.S, take care, Atlanta, take care, Atlanta

Word up, I remember first, uh, arrivin' in Atlanta and, uh, the genuine hospitality you would feel

And seein' it grow and knowin' it was gon' grow and, uh, we finally had a place we can be

Call home, and, you know, evolution is a part of how it all work, and we interdependent, but

In the midst of it all, we gotta still take care of Atlanta
