Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord I understand You have a right to check out your land 'cause it's your land My family told me you've been peekin' in windows Forcing them to be a little scared, keeping curtains closed I protect my house but on tour I try to find a home where my people are secure Your racist views are the views of your own So please don't let it enter my family zone Just lettin' you know, I'm not a little old colored boy That steps off the curb when you walk your walk So please don't mistake my kindness for blindness I've known your game since Columbus came And if I woulda known how your neck was burnin' red In your complex I wouldn't of been caught dead So here's my message from me to you My space is off limits until we move You understand that Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord step off my yard Mister landlord I have to question Do you expect me to chill while you're bumrushin'?
