Who Owns the Ground?

You think property means houses? Where you sleep. Where you work. What you inherit. What you rent. Look down. Who owns the ground beneath your feet? You call it property, I call it power Same piece of land, different price by the hour Brick didn't move, roof didn't grow Still went up — now tell me what you know One calls it asset, one calls it home One sees opportunity, one stands alone One sees yield, one sees rent One says progress— Who pays the price in the end? Tower goes up — follow the deal Land plus finance plus what it'll yield Rights in the title, light in the sky Who gets the view? Who can afford to buy? Everybody's clever when the market gets hot Till you ask one question— Based on what? Who owns the ground beneath your feet? Who sets the price on your street? Who takes the upside? Who takes the hit? Who wrote the clause that decides all this? Money in the walls Power in the plot Tell me what it's worth— Based on what? Review date passed Market moved Three fresh deals And I've got it proved Twenty-five a foot Same parade Pay the new rent— Case closed, mate. Case closed? Nah. Look again. One got twelve months rent-free, my friend Corner unit — twice the front And comp number three's been empty for months Same street. Different pitch. Open market. Read the lease. Still need proof. I’ve got comps. Property is who gets what. That's the game beneath the game Same four walls — ten different claims Owner, lender, tenant, state Everybody wants the numbers their way Show me the title Show me the rent Show me the void Show me the evidence Don't tell me "prime" Don't tell me "hot" Don't give me vibes— Property is who gets… Cities aren't spreadsheets Homes aren't stock But feelings alone don't make numbers stop So know the system Then make your case Know what has value Know who needs place Because property decides more than we say Who gets to own Who takes the knock? Who owns the ground beneath your feet Who sets the price on your street Who takes the upside Who takes the hit Who wrote the clause that decides all this Money in the walls Power in the plot Tell me what it’s worth Based on what Property ain’t just bricks Property ain’t just blocks Property is who gets what.
