[Intro]
They took one of the old notorious housing projects
And they levelled it and rebuilt it as "Mixed Income Housing"
It's called "Hope Six," and it's supposed to...
Sort of rejuvenate everything
It certainly looks a lot better

Here's the Hope Six Demolition Project
Stretching down to Benning Road
A well-known "pathway of death"
At least that's what I'm told
And here's the one sit-down restaurant
In Ward Seven, nice
OK, now this is just drug town, just zombies
But that's just life

In the Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, Hope, Hope, Hope

Here's the highway to death and destruction
South Capitol is its name
And the school just looks like a shit-hole
Does that look like a nice place?
Here's the old mental institution
Now the Homeland Security Base
And here's God's Deliverance Centre
A deli called M.L.K

And The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope
The Community of Hope, Hope, Hope, Hope

[Outro]
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
They're gonna put a Walmart here
This song is from the album "The Hope Six Demolition Project".
