There Goes the Neighborhood" is the debut single by Body Count. It is the twelfth track on the band's self-titled debut album which was released on 1992. The song is a sarcastic response to critics, sung from the point of view of a racist white rocker who wonders "Don't they know rock's just for whites? / Don't they know the rules? / Those niggers are too hardcore / This shit ain't cool."[1]

Key Lyrics

Here come them fuckin' niggas

With their fancy cars.

Who gave them fuckin' niggas

Those rock guitars?

Who let 'em in the club?

Did you make 'em pay?

Who let 'em on the stage?

Whose lettin' 'em play?

Don't they know rock's just for whites

Don't they know the rules?

Those niggas are too hard core

This shit ain't cool.

Those blacks want everything in the fuckin' world.

That nigga plays so good,

He took my muthafuckin' girl.

There goes the neighborhood

There, there, there, there goes the neighborhood.
